Yes, as will our GameMastery Modules and our Planet Stories science fiction and fantasy novel reprints.

How many pages will the rest of the books in the Pathfinder series each have? I saw that the first will have 96 pages, but when I checked out the rest of the series just now on Paizo's site, I didn't see a page count for any of the others. I understand if you're not able to provide this information quite yet due to not knowing what the authors will turn in.

I'm looking forward to hearing more about this. The Paizo/Necromancer deal is the draw, for me.JoshuaFrost said:

Each monthly volume of Pathfinder will have 96 pages. I'll make that more clear on our website.
Thanks for pointing it out!

Hey I'm not complaining. I bought most of my stuff in the past year from you guys, even though I have several FLGS's nearby.
You have stuff I would have to special order from my FLGS, but I would rather just order it myself.
Which comes back to my original question. I did not see you as a vendor for KublaCon in San Francisco this year. Why aren't you going this year? Also, can you still sell items like D&D shot glasses and Dungeon Magazine T-Shirts? Did you make those items, or did someone else make them? I can't seem to find them anywhere else.
Hey, I reached page 13 of this thread, having read them all!
I can't say I'm really disappointed at the loss of Dragon magazine. I've been buying it because I've been buying it for a while now, not because of the articles in it. Oh, yes, there are good (or even great!) articles from time to time, but it really wasn't hitting my needs. So, when people start saying "Wizards online content sucks" I can nod and say, "Yeah, same as Dragon content."
(This isn't to say that Dragon wasn't being great for a lot of people, just that I generally wasn't one of them).
The loss of Dungeon... oh, that hurts more. I've just finished running Age of Worms. Today, I start running Savage Tide. In two weeks, I start running Shackled City. I've run many Dungeon adventures over the years. Oh no!
But... Pathfinder. It sounds cool. It probably *will* be cool. Now to scrape up the money to subscribe. You guys do offer international subscriptions, don't you? And the postage will be more reliable than that for your magazines?
(Heh - my subscription to the magazines is about to run out... #356 for Dragon and #148 for Dungeon. I guess I'll get the remaining issues from the newsagent. Easier that way).
As to what Wizards offers online: it's likely to be irrelevant to me. Honestly, I don't know how much of a backlash this news will have against Wizards. The number of Dragon magazines sold each month is not a really big figure.
Do you know what I'll really miss? The nods to Greyhawk in the pages of Dungeon magazine. That's why Wizards really killed this, you know: not because Paizo were treading on their toes anyway else, but because they were promoting Greyhawk.
So, Erik and company: good luck!
And Wizards: good luck!
Cheers!

Fine. I'll just buy them on interest basis only. But if the format is more Dungeon-like than Dragon-like, I may not be interested at all.James Jacobs said:
I hate to ask, but is the cover price still the same as any one Dragon or Dungeon issue?

I got about halfway through this thread, and had to stop. I was having a good day until I saw this thread - and I thought it *had* to be a joke (and an old joke - no one makes 12 pages of posts in one day!). When I found out it wasn't...
When I was a bit younger, DRAGON was the best thing out there. I never had a whole lot of money, and rather than plunking down a bunch of money for a TSR Book, I could buy a DRAGON mag and still have a bit of cash left over for, y'know, NON-nerd things.
Even now that I can afford more products, picking up DUNGEON and DRAGON are still my favourite purchases - it's one of the reasons I never subscribed. Buying a mag was like picking up a whole slew of D&D material, without really hitting your wallet. I have shelves of mags.
PATHFINDER sounds alright - definately worth checking out. A book that you subscribe to is kind of neat... and 96 ad-free pages sounds fairly decent. It could definately be worth checking out, although I really wish each "issue" wasn't so focused - I want there to still be a source for "Monsters of Mesopotamia" without having to wait for the highly-unlikely "Mesopotamia-Theme" book to come out. Plus, whie I'm having the time of my life running the current AP, I'm not sure I'll be running an AP again for some time.
But, yeah, I'll be checking it out. I think I might just plunk the cash down for a subscription.
As for the wotc online content...
Probably not. My brother has a bunch of Stolen PDFs that he loaded onto my computer (relax, they're all copies of books that either he or I own in print, loaded onto the comp for so-called "convienience") and, truth-be-told, I can't stand reading them. I don't like PDFs - I like having books on my shelf. I like being surrounded by a pile of books when I make a PC. And, most importantly, I feel like I "own" a book - online content (that is, most likely, going to be copy protected, meaning it's going to be pretty hard for me to duplicate the stuff for personal use, unless I want to kill my printer by printing off pages and pages of it) just doesn't do that for me.
What happens if I plomp down the cash for a subscription and then wotc decides that, hey, let's be sporadic with our updating? Or, hey, let's update our site with some program that Wik's dying computer can't run?
Not to mention the fact that all the money I put down for "my" subscription means absolutely nothing if the power or internet goes out.
Yeah, I won't be picking up wotc stuff.
In any case, I'm going to miss my mags, and I hope that wotc realizes the error of their ways and starts reprinting the mags... preferably under Paizo's ownership.
