[QUOTE="Steel_Wind, post: 3464817, member: 20741"] I'd prefer print to computer too - but I don't mind electronic formats per se. That's not the point about any of this. The point is that Hasbro cut loose [I]Dungeon[/I] and [I]Dragon[/I] as loss leaders five years ago. Paizo struggled initially - but ultimately turned it around and tbh - neither publication has [B]ever[/B] been better. That quality won't continue in WotC electronic format - because the people responsible for making it as good as it is now it won't be making it any more. Plain and simple. To take it a step further, the Paizo guys are in here answering questions - interacting with customers and - from time to time - defending their mag. And they do it with passion, damn it. Three years or so ago - I started one of the EnWorld quarterly/ semi-annual bitch sessions about the ongoing relevancy of [I]Dragon Magazine[/I] and Erik Mona came in here. He read what i had to say - answered me as best as he could and said "stay tuned - changes are coming - it will get a lot better". Erik was made editor of Dragon shortly thereafter - and it got better. By "listening to me" - I don't mean that he agreed with everything I said; because he sure as hell did not. But he listened - made promises - and kept them. And he's done the same thing with dozens of other posters here too. You name one - just *one* guy from WotC (who is still there) who has done that on these forums - or any other. Just one. (The only one I can think of who comes close is Mike Mearls - but that ain't enough). To me? That counts [B]large[/B]. I switched my subscription over and I'm in for Pathfinder. These guys earned my loyalty - and I put it to you that they have earned yours too. The best material for D&D in the past year has been from Messrs. Mona and Jacobs. When someone posts in this thread "have some patience and be loyal to the guys who make our game?" I'll agree with that. And from where I sit, a lot of those people work at Paizo now. [/QUOTE]
