Playtesting the PATHFINDER Adventure that Wolfgang Baur wrote, #4 in the series I believe, I can only say that it is fantastic. The encounters are exciting and seeing just his glimpse of the campaign world made me want to start a whole new campaign.
Also, as a player in Greg Vaughan game, I can attest to his creativity and writing skill and knowledge of the DM perspective (as if the previous offerings by these two great writers don't speak for themselves)...and maybe I can get a sneak peak from him too ;-)
Frankly, I buy items written by these authors, and several other Paizo regulars as a matter of course since they have already proved their skills over and over.
With a line up of: Jacobs, Pett, Logue, Baur, Greer and Vaughan, you can't go wrong. Throw in art by Wayne Reynolds and I’m in gamer heaven.
For me, the fact that both the adventures (which were in DUNGEON, to which I subscribed) and the extra DM info (which were in DRAGON, to which I did not subscribe) are now in a single product PATHFINDER is like my dream come true. Heck even if DUNGEON and DRAGON were going to be available, I'd be subscribing to PATHFINDER if it were available. I can't imagine a better gaming resource.
Stunned by the cancellation of DUNGEON and DRAGON, I'm now reveling in the coming of PATHFINDER.

You know something - I think in the long-run this all might be for the best. I subscribe to Dungeon and do enjoy reading it, but other than the adventure paths I don't actually use the adventures in it, so it won't be all that big a loss to me. I've been reading Dragon since #50, so its been a part of my life for a really long time, but I generally only flip through the occasional issue these days and don't make use of the material all that often. I'm just so used to having these magazines that I never really thought about how little I actually use them. I've been reading them for a long time, and feel melancholy at their passing but I have to say that I haven't been as excited about any game product as I am about Pathfinder in a long, long time. Sometimes we need a push to evolve and grow, so maybe the cancellation of Dragon and Dungeon is a good thing from that perspective.
