If I can't afford to renew, then I wait until I can - in fact, I renewed recently, as I'd like to work on some submission ideas for 4th Ed. GURPS stuff.Anyhow, my biggest problem with the e-zine format is that generally when your subscription expires, so does your access to all that you've purchased.With a hard print magazine, the subscription expires, but I've still got my books/materials.But, from the other side of it, with e-zines you generally are given access with your subscription to ALL of their issue, so it's an advantage and disadvantage all rolled into one. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" />One of my desires, like others have said on here, was to be published in Dragon or Dungeon, even though I'd been published, it always felt like it'd be my "I made it moment".Sure, that's selfish, but that's one of the first thoughts that hit me.Another thought, too, which I got from Monte Cook, via <a href="http://p222.ezboard.com/fokayyourturnfrm15.showMessage?topicID=5683.topic" target="_blank">OYT</a> , was how a lot of those ads from Dragon will no longer have a venue.Not just the regular gaming products, mind you, but also the quirky ones, too. Heck, Wolfgang Baur's Open Design project has even had an ad or two in those magazines.Anyhow, it's a sad day, I think, and it's my hope that if WotC is replacing Dragon and Dugeon in print with some electronic magazine, that it's at least also called Dragon and Dungeon.Heck, they could take a queue from SJ games and have a fully accessible archive of all their issues, I know that'd make a portion ofus all pretty happy.</blockquote>
