Thanks for the sympathies.
And thanks for the link. I had no idea that site existed. That is convenient.
I’m another person who prefers paper copies for ease of reference. I don’t mind using pdfs for printing out the parts I need providing there aren’t a lot of illustrations or thick borders.
Though one of the nice things about pdfs is that a lot of old and rare games and supplements get to see the light of day again.
By poking about online I was able to find a 1979 non-TSR supplement by TSR artist Erol Otus called “Booty and the Beasts” that I never even knew existed.
I think Kobold Quarterly (another D&D hobby magazine that folded recently) put it well:
Let’s hope Gygax’s miracles run out later instead of sooner!
Well, they certainly aren’t doing themselves any favours with their lousy customer service.
I definitely have a healthy skepticism. Paizo, the company that used to publish Dungeon and Dragon magazines, has said that they’re glad they’re out of the magazine business and they have no interest in returning. When Kobold Quarterly went out of business, that seemed to confirm their negative view of the market.
So, did you get your issue of “Gygax” yet? If not, you should contact their customer support again.
