Quick question for you folks at Paizo. If I were to buy products by WotC through Paizo, would you folks make any money on the sale or does the entire purchase just go to WotC?

Basically, here is what I'm getting at. I'm a table top player, and even before this recent announcement regarding license renewal with Dungeon and Dragon became reality; I kind of made my sense motive check with WotC about a year and half ago.

As a player and consumer, I've had no invested interest with WotC and their vision going forward for some time now. But that's neither here nor there. What I want to do is invest in you...PAIZO. So, if I were to buy something like Dungeon Tiles made by WotC through you...do you make money?

Face it guys, you're my new ambassador for table top gaming...here's hoping to your continued success and hopefully growing success!

Ok...I'm not knocking the necessary increase in magazine prices and future increases in our subscriptions. I know the mag business is cut throat and very competitive and the economics of fuel "gouging" has finally reared its ugly head into the raw materials component which means increased costs to the consumer. Understood...

But...hmmm; lets see...$7 for a back issue and $5 shipping and handling?? So 12 bucks to buy a back issue of Dragon or Dungeon is -- well; insane.

I was about to buy back issue #338, but keep the back issue please...no magazine is ever worth that much money! Subscriber kept, but shopper lost.

I'll remain a subscriber probably until you convert to a new D&D edition( 3.5 is and will remain the final version for myself and my players ) or get carried away with an imbalance of Eberron material.

Happy with subscription unhappy with Paizo's prices in general when it comes to shopping. BTW, don't your folks in marketing realize that most products here can be bought for about 12 to 20 percent less on Amazon?

Just a thought...just a vent.
