Back Issue Questions / Concerns


Customer Service


You can add me to the list of subscribers who think (1) Paizo has done an amazing job with Dungeon and Dragon in general and (2) Paizo did an top-notch job handling what seems in most other respects to be a debacle.

However, I am a little disappointed that I have to wait until September to choose back issues if I decide to go that route. I'm concerned that by the time September rolls around, there won't be anything left to choose from. Do we have any assurance that worthwhile issues will be available? If we discover in September that nothing we want is left, can we switch to Pathfinder? I'm putting off making a decision for the moment, because I would prefer to fill in gaps with back issues I want/need (namely AOW AP; I have naively been waiting for the hardcover I was sure would be available eventually). On the other hand, I don't want to waste my choice if nothing I want is going to be available.

As an aside, you can also mark me down in the Pathfinder-price-is-too-high camp. I love the APs; they are the reason I decided to subscribe to Dungeon magazine. However, as much I would like to, I'm afraid I can't justify the monthly cost (I realize many of you can). This is one of the reasons I'm reluctant to choose Pathfinder. I have no doubt as to its quality. However, I'm only entitled to 3 volumes based on the issues owed to me, and since I know I won't finish the AP out, it seems silly to tease myself with its beginning.

We're discussing ways to do the back issue conversion earlier.

I'd like to know which "select" back issues will be offered. I've got every issue of Dragon since issue 110, save one: 179. Will back issues from the earlier eras be offered?

I have no idea. Lisa has some formula in mind about which issues to make available, but I didn't get it coded up before they left for GAMA.

I'm pretty sure the really old, collectible issues like Dungeon #1 will not be on the list, though. You could use the store credit option to get those.

I haven't completed the list yet, but the issues will mostly be from the Paizo era.
