For awhile Paizo had adventures that only went into issues going to subscribers, anyone got a list of which issues numbers and adventure titles those were?

Thanks

I don't have titles, but the issues were:

99
101
103

I can't speak for 102, but I know for a fact that 100 does not.

Yup; I believe those were the only three we did that with. It turned out to be a really bad idea, is the thing.

I remember that. I was madder than hell.

Exactly why it was a bad idea. People who got the issues from their local gaming store every month (to support FLGS, almost always a good thing) got shafted.

Yeah, it was an idea I hated with a fiery passion.

I first subscribed to Dungeon immediately after 3e hit. That lapsed because the powers-that-be (was it Paizo by then?) had had a 'small problem' fulfilling subscriptions to European customers. We'd just had our subscriptions refunded, and had to order back-issues to fill in the gaps.

So, I had given up on the subscription idea, and was instead getting the issues from my FLGS. And then they started with the subscriber-only adventures!

I was within a heartbeat of dropping the magazine over that.

I had the same problem with dodgy delivery and subsequently bought my mags through my FLGS. Too bad they had the same suplier issues. I ended up backordering a couple of them. IIRC one of the issues that mas missing had the polyhedron with a buffy d20 minigame in it. Hmmm. I never got that issue in the end...


I've got to admit that it wasn't until half-way through the Age of Worms that I came back to Dungeon after they did that "Subscribe and get stuff that normal people can't..." thing. I can understand why it was tried, and am glad that it was dropped, even if I am now a subscriber (back then I was unable to do so).


Is there any way for those of us who bought these issues at a local game store to get the "subscriber only" adventures? (Besides to buy back issues, that is...)

Any chance those adventures could be made available as free downloads, James?
