I have been reading Dragon and Dungeon magazine for almost 18 years. However, I never subscribed to either magazine until Paizo took over. Over the past 5 years, Paizo publishing has consistently published a top quality product that usually exceeded my expectations and continues to improve, even today. Therefore, having recently renewed my subscription to both Dragon and Dungeon (12 & 11 issues left), I will be transferring my remaining balance to Pathfinder and encourage everyone else to do the same. Given the quality of Dragon and Dungeon under the direction of Paizo and without the constraints of WOTC, I suspect Pathfinder to be ever better quality than either magazine.
Congratulations Paizo on an unfettered new beginning.
I too will miss Dragon and Dungeon magazines, but I'm more than willing to give Pathfinder a chance. Paizo has my payment information and will ship me the first book. From there, we'll just have to see how things go, but I suspect that I'll find it to my liking.
