So WOTC has decided to pull the plug on both Dragon and Dungeon Magazine.

They will be sorely missed by us old-timers.

Who is to judge what is right and what is wrong? Great and powerful foes surround us; unknown miscreants gnaw at us from within. We are threatened with total annihilation. In days such as these we can afford no luxury of morality.

I gotta quote good ol' Doctor Wierd on this one:

Some people are like Slinkies. They're really good for nothing. But they still bring a smile to your face when you push them down a flight of stairs.

I had been hoping it was a really bad and really late april fool's joke.

But, it's not.

2 magazines that have been out so entrenched into D&D society since longer than I have been alive are publishing their last issues.

To be replaced by an online "ezine"

Yeah....

Just heard this one myself. I don't see me doing an online subscription thing unless it's really beneficial. Which means that it'll have to be cheaper than buying dungeon and dragon every month.

No joke. By a *lot* if they're planning on keeping any business from people that actually prefer being able to go into a physical store to physically buy something they can physically manipulate and physically bring with them to sessions.

The message boards at WotC and Paizo are lit with fire of this.

I rolled the remainder of both my subscriptions into Pathfinder.

I don't share the animosity towards WotC as others do, but I do think they (WotC) have handled the situation very poorly. However, it wil be very interesting to see how things turn out.
