Kobold Quarterly is the new Dragon.

Pathfinder APs are the new Dungeon.

But, aren't the APs concentrated on one adventure (and only one part of 6), where Dungeon had several smaller adventures and even articles?

Now, I've never played an AP, and it's been a long time since I've cracked open a Dungeon magazine, so please correct me if I am wrong.

Every AP from Second Darkness and onwards contains two adventures: the main one (part x of 6) and a short one which can be tied into the main one (and therefore is level-consistent with it).

Plus the new monsters in the Bestiary section, the articles relevant to the main adventure, and a bit of fiction.

Only the Second Darkness and Legacy of Fire APs had the second adventures (also known as sidetreks), alas.

Sad but true.

Everyone's different. The april issues were always amongst my favorite to browse through. ^_^

Ahhh.. the stating up of the "What's New" dragon. "Growf?!?"

Or when they stated up the different types of GM's.

Classic material.

Like most of the other posters here I too miss dungeon and Dragon Magazine. However you never know what lies behind the corner. We now have Kobold Quarterly, and we have the Paizo adventure paths, which are pretty neat.

My mistake! (I haven't picked up the newer APs yet.) And I'm sorry to hear that - I liked those shorter adventures.

Wait, we've got this far into this thread, including a post from Lillith, and nobody's mention Wayfinder yet?

Sure it's not a regular as Dragon or even KQ, but it's pure Pathfinder...

We also have Wayfinder. Lets not discount the work that goes into that periodical. Although quite frankly all the work that goes into sites like PathfinderDB, the Nethys site et. al. has pretty much reduced the raison 'd aitre for magazines like Dragon. They simply don't make economic sense in the present climate.
