I can’t imagine a more insulting taunt, you dropped the ball by not being ready to provide your customer base with an explanation.“It’s exciting because I know something that you don’t know as yet.”- Bill Slavicsek,
This is insulting to Piazo Publishing, Dungeon and Dragon magazine were well in the black and the adventure path had made it more popular than at anytime in it’s history. You eliminated a delivery system., and compromised your customer loyalty.“What keeps the old girl alive, though, is her never-ending goal of reaching the greatest number of people with the best possible content. Using a new delivery system doesn't have anything to do with compromising that goal.”- Kim Mohan
If Wotc returns it to their own publishing house and publishes a print magazine fine, if it is just part of their digital initiative it is dead to me as is WotC.“Nothing this good ever dies.”-Christopher Perkins
These 17 fans do not want your new medium at the expense of our magazines, you have lost 16 fans, and they will express his displeasure with their wallets.“This is a big deal and it is our full intention to continue to deliver the great content that the fans have come to expect from these magazines in a new medium.”- Scott Rouse
That is the difference a print copy will always be a treasured part of my D&D game, your online content is ephemeral and worthless at the gaming table that does not have online access for everyone!“The magazines mean a lot to me, for both personal and professional reasons, and they will always be a treasured part of my D&D game. I can’t wait to see their next incarnation.”-Jesse Decker
I doubt I will ever eagerly await an update to a website.“And I still eagerly await each issue that shows up on my desk.”-james wyatt
“Having worked on the magazines at Paizo, I’m familiar with the passion, dedication, and sacrifice it took to put together every issue every month, and I’m proud of the great work of my friends there.”-Matthew Serrnet
Amen! Thank you, sir. You’re a gentleman and a scholar.
“Part of me still can’t believe the magazines, in their current format, won’t be around anymore after the summer. But when I look to the future and see what we have planned, I can’t wait. Believe me, sometimes change really is for the best. I’m more excited than ever about the future of these gaming institutions. They’re not really going anywhere; they’re just coming home.”- Chris Thomasson,
Your right I can’t believe it, I probably should have seen it coming with the launch of the digital inititive, but the magazines were doing a better job than you, I thought it’s not broken they wont’ try to fix it. Sometimes change is bad, New Coke springs to mind. They are going some where their leaving my bookshelf.
