Today Paizo Publishing announced two new Dragon Magazine related products to our distributors.
The first is a special issue of the magazine, Dragon Magazine: Monster Ecologies. This 128 page special issue of the magazine will contain a compilation of the best of the monster ecologies articles from Dragon Magazine from the past 3 years. The compilation will feature new rules, art, details, and encounters. A must for every detail oriented DM.
The second product is our first comic compilation. The first is Tony Mosely's well loved Zogonia in its first volume, Zogonia: Slice of Death. Featuring 64-pages of classic strips from the pages of Dragon Magazine, this is a must have for fans of our comic strips!
Giddiness and glee!
You may have my paycheck now.
I'll pass on these. What I'd rather see is a "Dragon Compendium Volume 2", which WotC keeps procrastinating on :(
If it's a special issue of Dragon, does that mean that subscribers get one automatically? Or, is it sold separately?

Special issues are sold seperately.

What exactly is a "special issue"? Will it be printed on the same paper as every other issue? Will it be just like an annual? Will we be seeing more of these special issues?
Interesting formatting choice. Is this due to WotC not cooperating with further volumes of the Compendium?

It will be printed on thicker paper stock with a thicker cardboard stock cover. We have ideas for additional special issues but nothing we're ready to announce.

Do these special issues spell the end of the Compendiums, or will that product line continue as well? It seems like there was some talk that future Compendiums would be specialized volumes, so I am curious as to how these two product lines fit together. Is there a line between content that belongs in a Compendium versus content that belongs in a special issue?
I echo Sebastian's questions.
Too bad the Monster Ecologies isn't an update of older articles. I have all the magazines for the last three years. Even if there is going to be some new info, I can't justify spending what they are going to be asking (assuming it is going to be around what the DC vol. 1 is).
Do these special issues spell the end of the Compendiums ... ?
No. This product is completely seperate from our discussions with WotC about future Compendiums.
