When will we get the option to order back issues?


Customer Service


Hi. When will we get the option to order back issues? Because when I look around, I can not see the option to order the back issues of Dragon now in a link or anything, but I have entered in that I do want back orders of Dragon. So will we only be able to order them after our subscription ends, or am I just really inept and unable to find it? If so, could you give me directions?
Thank you

You can't make your back issues selections just yet; we'll be offering them soon, though.


In all seriousness, at least a hint of what might be in the availability range would help a whole lot of us become less nervous about our credits and things.
I am worried also about whether or not this is going to one of those super secret wait till the last minute unveilings and then watch everybody attempt to burn down Paizo's servers by trying to be the first to get their order in for the limited quantities of what will be available.
Long time subscribers may well be left holding on to an empty option when they find they already have all of the available back issues.
Is this logic fallible, or is it well founded concern?

We've said before that it will be mostly issues from the Paizo era, and that it will be a subset of the backissues that are currently available on the site.

As for "holding on to an empty option," no worries—you'll be able to switch to another option if you don't like the selection of backissues we have to offer.


If we decide in September to switch from the back issues to Pathfinder, can we still get the 1st book for Pathfinder? Also, will Pathfinder be carried on Amazon or in Borders?

Assuming things go as currently planned, you'll be able to choose to start with volume 1 right up until volume 2 ships.

I do believe that Amazon already has Pathfinder listed, and we're expecting that Borders will also be carrying it.
