Ok, I understand what happened. I didn't actually create an ongoing subscription when I converted my prior subscriptions. I don't remember if I knew about the free Player's Guide or not. Oh well.

In order to become a Charter Subscriber and get the free printed version of the Rise of the Runelords Player's Guide, you needed to have created an Ongoing Pathfinder subscription, in addition to transitioning your remaining issues, before the first volume shipped.

I can tell you one thing - that was not clear to me! I read all the FAQs and message boards to understand what was going on, and I was pretty sure I did everything right. I guess I was wrong.

So what was the process for creating an ongoing subscription?

A charter subscriber was somebody who signed up for the ongoing Pathfinder subscription in addition to their converted copies. Basically, it was something we did for the folks who believed in us before they even saw the first issue. If you didn't sign up for the ongoing subscription before the 23rd, you didn't get the Player's Guide or the Charter Subscriber tag.

I did sign up before the 23rd:

784000 Aug 15, 2007
Pathfinder #1—Rise of the Runelords Chapter 1: "Burnt Offerings" (OGL) Print Edition Shipped Aug 21, 2007
$0.00

We sent it to everyone who has a Pathfinder subscription (converted or charter).

No, you didn't. I'm a converted subscriber to Pathfinder, and I have not received my hardcopy of "Pathfinder: Rise of the Runelords Player's Guide". What should I do?

Edit: ok, now I'm confused. When I got the invitation to convert to Pathfinder, I could have sworn that one of the enticements was a hardcopy of the Player's Guide. Now I see that the hardcopy is only for charter subscribers, not converted subscribers. Well, why isn't a converted subscriber also charter subscriber? I converted over before August 13th, so how is that different from someone who just subscribed as normal?

$4 shipping is pretty expensive. I read in another post that you guys are looking into offering the book rate? I'd definitely prefer that. I don't actually play D&D any more, but I do read and collect the magazine, so I don't really care when the magazine arrives.

I'm still confused. I just heard about the end of Dungeon and Dragon magazines. I've subscribed to both for several years now. If I switch to Pathfinder, what will I gain and what will I lose? That is, what will Pathfinder have that Dungeon and Dragon don't have, and what do Dungeon and Dragon have that Pathfinder won't?

Also, how is Pathfinder delivered? Is this an electronic delivery, or a printed magazine that's mailed to me? If it's electronic, what file format?
