Maybe I'm jaded by having been a fan of companies like Games Workshop in the past, but despite the sentiment of complaint on this messageboard, I for one do what to take the time to thank the staff of Paizo for being willing to communicate with fans as well as they do. Maybe they change release dates, post the release dates wrong, or make promises that they can't keep from time to time - but they're human. At least they're not sequestering themselves into a high tower over the fans and staring down their almighty noses. Again, I'm one of the walking wounded of Games Workshop who make no bones of doing exactly that. Thankfully Paizo is fan friendly.
I'm enjoying the Age of Worms adventure path. I have collected sources of information dealing with Kyuss including the Rod of Seven Parts boxed set. So I'm really interested to see where it goes from here.
My group has finally finished up the Whispering Cairn completely with Filge captured alive.
Take it easy! Keep on gaming!
I agree. I don't have any negative experiences like you do and admittedly don't spend too much time on any great variety of messageboards but Paizo has, without a doubt, the easiest-to-use, quickest-response, most fan-friendly, most helpful website for ANY product, ANYWHERE!!!
I admit to getting a tiny thrill (not to sound too weird here) when the editors, technicians, hard-working individuals at Paizo post their own opinions/respond to questions & requests.
I likewise give a hearty thanks to everyone at Paizo. Your product (Dungeon) is awesome and so is your support system and website! Thanks! Keep up the good work - the silent majority really appreciates it (I am their self-appointed spokesperson!).
Couldn't have said it better myself. This is the reason I just subscribed.
Oh man yes - I can second that opinion. Paizo and the Dungeon team are doing a fantastic job. The scenarios in Dungeon are seriously good and chock full of juicy DM inspiring stuff. All the back up material they produce for free is just teh icing on the cake.

Agreed. I have been buying Dungeon off and on since the early 90's. Now I am a subscriber. The people at Paizo are doing a great job.

This is exactly how I feel. I read the messageboards pretty infrequently until I ran across the thread discussing the then-upcoming Shackled City hardcover. I was really impressed by James and the other Paizo staff reading and responding to the users' comments in that thread. Shackled City hadn't really grabbed my interest before that, and really based on that thread alone I decided to pick up the book.
And am thoroughly enjoying it.
So congrats, and thanks, and all the rest of that stuff for doing such a great job!
I am also impressed by and appreciative of their attention to the boards. I may not always like what they say, but I am very glad they say something to begin with.
I love the level of feedback from the staff! Yay them! Keep it up!

Agreed, the staff of Dungeon is producing a fantastic magazine every month. The magazine itself is a joy to read and use in my home play. It is an additional pleasure to see the staff not only produce a fine product, but also respond to the notes posted here, as mentioned in above posts. People are not always nice here. I think it takes an extra degree of professionalism and dedication to come here and answer our myriad questions.
So, thanks, Dungeon. You guys are doing a teriffic job. I certainly plan in keeping my subscription and promoting the magazine.
And, the players I judge for love the Age of Worms Adventure Path.

I thought to pour some molten silver upon my tongue so as to sweeten my kind regards for the staff, but the unimaginably searing pain, followed by the subsequent extra weight of this ex post facto dental dam has made it impossible for me to form compliments that don't sound more like drooling curses. Alas, I'll give it the old college try:
"Hu guys ah tha greatheth!"
I want to second everything already said. i'm a gamer out in iraq serving my country and helping make another country better. i just want you guys at Paizo to know that each time i get that magazine it really helps take my mind off whats going on here and get a few hours of R&R and escape even if i don't have a group to play with, i can still enjoy my favorite pastime. and i can't wait to go home and get back with my group and play some more
Cheers to Paizo, Eric, and all the team of tinkers it takes to make this mag rock! I haven't played D&D in the true form since Adanced about '92. When 2nd ed. came out I dropped out. Figured I couldn't afford it. That and monsters came in packs to be put in a binder how stupid I thought to myself back then. Which brings me to the present. Many years later with wife, 5 yr old girl, and 7 mo. boy I find my old red box set. This sets the spark for me to decide I want D&D as a creative influence in my family's life that I never had until teen years. After a little on-line research I see how much has changed seems simpler and better with more support. Boy oh boy was I right thanks to your mag. I've been back on the roller coaster of a hobbie I forgot I loved. All new 3rd. core books in tow along with minatures guide I was ready for adventure.
But then I was stuck what campaign setting to choose? I stewed about this till I bought issue #124 AOW. Thanks from the bottom of my soul! I haven't missed an issue yet keep up the fantastic work you do! I'll subscribe sooner or later, but
right now I'm filling a binder full of cards and organizing my minis cabinet. lol I love the irony of it all !
Thanks Again Castleman
