So, I just got the contract for issue #358 (just a piece of the Arcane CA since I came up with a few feats along with several others). The thing that struck me as I read it over was that it will be my last one since I don't have anything slated for #359.
It's a strange sensation, getting such a tangible confirmation of the approaching end. Something a lot of other people might not really feel until the last issue actually arrives at their door.
As a rule I hate "Oscar speeches" (where you thank everyone and their dog) but I just wanted to give a quick tip of the hat to all the Pazoians who put so much of their creative energy into these two magazines. As a long term reader, and even, after a very long hiatus, a subscriber lured back in the last few years I've been amazed by the sheer quality of the product they've prduced month after month. I liked knowing that what was, in many ways a childhood friend, was in such capable hands. As one of their contributors I'm also very thankful for their patience and generosity with the advice they offered on how whip my articles into shape. There's a wonderful sense of security, sending something off to Paizo, knowing that they not only will catch any mistakes you make, but also that they will find ways to make it better before as it heads off to the printer. I've become a much better writer due to the folks at Paizo, thanks both to their revision notes, and simply by reading the changes they made on their own.
They are a talented bunch, and, since this does seem to be turning into a Oscar speech I think I'd better stop for now.
(no need to start playing the music :) )
yep, same feeling for me. i have a pending article that i'm hoping against hope for #359... but with so much other stuff needing to get in there, the odds are slim.
Don't worry guys. WotC is looking over whatever else you sent in and you can still hope they ask you if they can post it up in their DI Content ;)
It may be the end, but it can also be a new beginning. :D

Ditto... and I got it on my birthday. :-/
Here's to the future!

Bleh.
If it's not free, I'm not bothering. I hate PDFs. They take forever to scroll through, and they're a b*$#! to get to the gaming table. You have to print freaking full-color pages (which is bad if you're using a lot).
