DonTadow said:Also, I stopped my subscription to dungeon because of three reasons
1. No official electronic version with cut and paste features
2. There was a serious lack of mystery/intrigue adventures. Out of the 2 years worth of subscriptions I could only find 3 adventures that did not end in a dungeon crawl.
3. The official WOTC format was just not informative enough for me, especially when concerning real NPCS.
1: We'll be releasing PDF versions of Pathfinder concurrent with the print release. If you subscribe to Pathfnider, you get the PDFs for free.
2: Mystery/intrigue adventures work poorly at mid or high level due to the assumed presence of divination magic, resurrection magic, etc. That said, mystery/intrigue adventures are a popular genre. There'll be a fair bit of it in Pathfinder adventures, but it's such a wide-ranging genre I'm not really sure what exactly it is you're looking for when it comes to the genre. Can you list those 3 adventures in Dungeon that you mentioned?
3: Pathfinder's adventure format will be an evolution of the Dungeon format. We'll have a lot more room for each adventure though, which means more info. Key NPCs will have a lot more info indeed, likely with the key ones having 2-page presentations.
