Wouldn't be possible. The license to print that encompassed the contracts with writers and illustrators does not permit re-printing. Re-negotiating the contracts with each author, illustrator and even advertiser would be a nightmare. WotC/TSR had nothing but headache in the first one.

Thats because WotC still operate in hardcopy mode and probably never anticipated a time when market needs would NOT be fulfilled by hardcopy, so they never bothered negotiating rights to publish content in other mediums.

If Paizo have negotiated contracts with writers and illustrators that restrict them to publication in one medium, they should probably consider re-negotiating current contracts and updating all future contracts to include publication in "current and yet to be discovered media, including, but not limited to..."

Most back issues are already available.

Regarding electronic back issues, let's just say that we here at Paizo recognize that there is a market for our content in digital form. I can't comment yet on how and when we might begin serving that market.

Thanks Robert but buying backissues would require me to get a whole bunch of magazines shipped to NZ which would be prohibitively expensive. Whenever I order stuff from the states, it basically costs me as much to freight it as it does to buy the item!

Interesting news on the electronic publishing front! Even if the release of the electronic version was delayed by several months, it would still be way worth getting!

Mods - if linking to other publishers is a non-no, please delete this post.

For those asking about monster/pc tokens, I can't recommend Fiery Dragon's creature counter collections enough! http://www.fierydragon.com/Products/prod-ccdigital.htm

Light, easy to transport, lots of variety, don't need to worry about damaging them (because you can always print more). I've colour printed about 2000 of them, backed them onto foam board and laminated them. Plus, Puzos art is wicked!

Sorry to hijack your thread Brito, just a wee logical extension to this thread... Do Paizo have any plans to bring out another CD-ROM of past dragon issues (say, since the begining of 3rd ed) or ebook past issues? There must be a huge secondary market in electronic past issues. I'm tellin' ya now, electronic subscriptions are the way to go!

Having just got back into the game, I don't have access to any of the past dragon issues but I'd dearly love to!
