I hope this hasn't already been asked, and if so I apologize and am happy to be pointed to the correct thread. But why not? I would happily purchase subscriptions to both the magazines and Pathfinder.

It's been mentioned on several threads but basically, they'd have to start from scratch with new magazines since they wouldn't have the brand identity of the names Dragon or Dungeon.

I understand a least a few of the issues with a new startup. But I can't imagine anyone in a better position to do this than Paizo. From their experienced staff to their established relationships with distributors and their street cred with gamers around the world. Who could do it better?

haha....... "street cred"

To this end, I propose the creation of two new OGL magazines, to be entitled Dugeon and Dwagn, respectively.

These amazingly non-trademark infringing titles would be the best way to communicate Paizo's respect for classic D&D, and would also be amazingly similar to two other publications that will be sorely missed. They could even be introduced by articles written by trained Goblins, thus conveniently explaining the titles' poor spelling!

By the way, huge thanks to everyone at Paizo for being so helpful and professional with the transition. Your dedication to your customers is really appreciated.
