[QUOTE="GVDammerung, post: 3475247, member: 33060"] Alienation. What I feel is alienated from Wotc. Wotc did this with no warning, no preamble. And what they did that upsets me is terminate the one remaining constant in the conversations of gamers everywhere. While Dragon might not have recently been as central to the hobby as it once was in the days before the internet, it remained a constant or touch stone in conversations, even among those who did not subscribe or buy every issue from the newsstand. Dungeon was even more of a constant/touch stone and remained highly relevant, supplying quality adventures to thousands upon thousands of DMs and then players. These constants are too soon to be gone and the hobby and its shared conversations and experience will be left poorer for their passing. That Wotc would make such a decision with no warning or preamble and with only a promised and vaguely sketched online "replacement" leaves me shaking my head and throughly alienated from their thought processes. I have no interest in an electronic "replacement" regardless of the content. My family will be subscribing to Pathfinder. Pathfinder is not overpriced, particularly when the Paizo team that brought much recent acclaim to Dragon and Dungeon is helming the project. And how many Wotc books for more money do people buy only to have them sit on a shelf after a once through? I have more than a few. Pathfinder promises to offer the "read" those products do plus a means to immediately put that read to use and at a lower price. Anyone with "left over" Dungeon or Dragon subscriptions should, IMO, roll them over to Pathfinder and give it a chance. I'm sorry to see Dragon and Dungeon go. I wish Paizo and its staff every success with Pathfinder. [/QUOTE]
