Its sad to see Dragon and Dungeon go. I have bought many issues over the time that Paizo published it but that was more my not being able to play D&D these last 5 years. I really enjoyed the issues I picked up. I always knew it would be there to see what was up with the game I had been playing since 1982. This may be corny but the last time I felt like this was when I finished watch the commentaries on the Return of the King DVD. What got to me was knowing that it was over, there was nothing to look forward to. Kind of like a good friend I will never see again. I have all my memories of the past to laugh about but nothing new.

I look forward to the on-line thing that a read a little about for me there is something about holding the magazine that means something to me. I've tried to read books on-line or on my IPod but its not that same. Its the feel, the smell, the dog eared pages that make the connection. Granted my wife with be happy, the electronic format will safe me space.

In closing I just wanted to say thanks Paizo for the great work you did and I will look to buy the last few issues that come out.

I don't have any that leap out to me. The new adds were all very well done. I do love the old one from the mid 80's when I started reading it. Those were so cheesy I can't help but smile.

I just read news about Dragon just now. I got the info from a different website. It was sad to read. I haven't played in 5 years, (moved and can find no gamers) but I still bought the magazine every now and then. I had a subscribed to Dragon starting with issue 79 and carried it through into the 200's. I've since got rid of many of them but they went to good homes and not the trash. I understand being mad about it but for me it was like loosing an old friend. Being an old fart of 40 its hard to find gamers. Video games took over. If you any of you want to help our hobby then we need to pass it on. I'm trying with my two boys, the oldest is 10, but I'm starting out slow. I didn't start playing until I was 15. I hope to talk to the people at Paizo when I'm at GenCon this year. They did a great job and I will make it a point get the last few issues.
