Pathfinder 1E Paizo no longer publishing Dungeon and Dragon

[Altalazar]

This just makes me ill. I almost feel like they just drowned my baby in their bathtub. Two of them. I have every single issue of both magazines. I love those magazines. I look forward to both every month like old friends, even though I don't necessarily have time to read them all the way through (though with Dungeon I wouldn't anyway unless I was running a module in case someone else wanted to run it).

I'm mad. I'm sad. And I'm not liking this one single bit. I'd have paid double the cover price just to keep it coming. Yes, I love them that much. Something is up at Wizards and it does not bode well.

You win the award for Most Upbeat Person Who Just Got Kicked in the Junk. *thumbs up*

Paizo's future is clear and exciting. How could I not be upbeat?

 

[Nightfall]

Can I win the most pissed off and ready to have Orcus devour flesh award?

Who's in charge of deciding who gets eaten in a blizzard? I can understand being caught unprepared once, but this is the kind of thing you should have in your Disaster Recover Plan now.

Hmm, I just realized. This is the end of Ecology articles.

And I feel honored and humbled to have written one before Dragon ends.

Punched in the gut is just the first stage of how many of us feel; upon hearing this announcement, we're all like a giraffe in quicksand.

Stage One: "This can't possibly be right. Seriously, the magazine's will be back before we know it. Right...heh.........

Stage Two: "Well this is just @#$%ing perfect! Stupid WotC! Stupid Hasbro! Mother @#$%! Mother @#$%! Mother @#$%!

Stage Three: "Dear God, please make WotC's online initiative fail so that they give the magazines back to Paizo, and I promise, I'll never, ever, fudge my ability score rolls again. Deal?"

Stage Four: "Waaaaaaaaaaahaaahaaahaaaaaagh!"

Stage Five: "I guess it's not the end of the world. Paizo is still going to be putting out great stuff, and we really don't know enough about WotC's online thingy to judge it one way or the other yet."

Josh,

Well I dunno about being upbeat, but at least two things are going for you, a new adventure path and helping Necromancer Games stay afloat.

 

[Odhanan]

I'm SO excited about Paizo's projects. The Pathfinder series sound like great stuff! I enlisted already!

It falls to Phil Lacefield, Paizo's Sales Manager, to make these determinations. Its only fair, as he lost a leg to the last blizzard.

We've discussed the idea and I know its still on the table for 2008. Stay tuned to paizo.com/pathfinder for additional details.

I will do so, and will be awaiting any subsequent announcement with bated breath.

A setting developed by the assembled Paizo group is probably one of the only things that could tear me away from Greyhawk...at least, for a while.

Regards,
Darrell
