I have a couple of questions that pertain to Pathfinder Subscriptions. My subscriptions to Dragon and Dungeon run till September, so I don't have to worry about having to transition left-over "credit". That said, I really want to subscribe to Pathfinder because I think Paizo publishes the best D&D content anywhere. So my question is this...
Assuming I am reading things right, you can only subscribe to Pathfinder on a month by month basis, is that correct? I would like to pay for my subscription a year at a time. So is it possible when subscribing to Pathfinder to go ahead and pay for 12 issues up front, or will it have to be month by month? I saw that the subscription price is 30% less than buying them individually, and I think that is awesome. Also, everything I have read says this product will be based in Paizo's own campaign setting. Is there a Campaign setting Sourcebook for this setting, or is it being developed as we go? If there is a sourcebook, where can I order it?
Finally, one last question. Once D&D moves to 4th edition, which it is bound to do in the next couple of years, what will that mean for Pathfinder? If 4ed doesn't include an OGL, will Pathfiner continue under SRD rules, or move in a different direction?
Thanks for taking the time to answer these questions!!!

Yes, but to be clear, month-to-month doesn't mean you have to come to our site and sign up each month. You set it up once, and each month we automatically charge your card and ship you that month's copy. No renewal notices, no missed issues. Just set it up once, and forget about it until you decide to cancel.
Also, everything I have read says this product will be based in Paizo's own campaign setting. Is there a Campaign setting Sourcebook for this setting, or is it being developed as we go? If there is a sourcebook, where can I order it?
Right now, it's "as you go" in Pathfinder and the GameMastery modules. But we're contemplating a potential sourcebook. People seem to want one. :-)
Finally, one last question. Once D&D moves to 4th edition, which it is bound to do in the next couple of years, what will that mean for Pathfinder? If 4ed doesn't include an OGL, will Pathfiner continue under SRD rules, or move in a different direction?
We have no information on 4th edition than you do at the moment. Way too early to say, I'm afraid.
