If the new paid content is well done and brings in more people, the hobby survives.  For those of you who say when your buying a Dungeon/Dragon magazine from the FLGS that you're supporting their business, well your not.  Magazines have a very low profit margin.  If you really wanted to help out your FLGS you'd plunk down the $25 to $40 for a new hard cover.  Instead I'm sure many of you are slinking over to Amazon because they have great deals.Me, I'm going to wait and see what comes out from WoTC.  I already have high hopes for Paizo's new directions.  Online content is the reason I've probably stayed interested in RPGs for the past several years, as I can always look forward to something new coming along without feeling tied to going to a physical retail outlet.  Did that with comics for 20+ years and it gets tiring to always make the trip on Tuesdays/Thursdays to get new product.  Browsing through the WoTC, Paizo, RPGNow, ENWorld and Reaper web sites is something I can do from the comfort of my home.</blockquote>
