To everyone at Paizo: First, let me thank you for ushering in the Renaissance of the gaming hobby. To my mind, it had been languishing since sometime in the 80's: all the way through 2nd edition, in fact. The release of the 3rd edition helped--Monte Cook does good work--but let's face it, Paizo's stewardship of "Dungeon" and "Dragon" is what has totally revitalized the hobby. The problem is, I say this from the personal standpoint of an "old-school" gamer; I don't have any idea what the sales figures show.
If my question here is overly blunt, I apologize. I want what's best for all of us (which in my opinion means, ultimately, what's best for Paizo). The question is, can you guys definitely stay afloat without the WotC license? If it will be at all dicy, what can we, your (extremely, in my case) loyal fan base do to help? Tell us how to keep our hobby out of the dark ages. If everyone needs 2 subscriptions to "Pathfinder," I'll give them as gifts.

The short answer is that we plan to be here for a while.
The long answer, including what you can do to help, is here.
OK. Anything I can get from Paizo.com, I'll certainly get from you guys rather than an alternative vendor. I'm a Pathfinder charter member, and I'll look for any back issues of "Dungeon" and "Dragon" I lack that seem interesting.
Thanks again to everyone at Paizo.
Not a subscriber, but a longtime reader.
I have to say, you guys at Paizo did your homework. These past few years have to be the highest quality work I've seen in a long time, especially in the magazines. I got the feeling that you worked on Dragon/Dungeon like it was an honor, and it was. Such a longstanding part of the hobby is a great honor and no one deserved it as much as you guys.
Your work was greatly appreciated and I sincerely hope the best for all of you.
