| Yes, that's right. Rav950 managed to talk to Jason (aka Iuztheevil) during Winter Fantasy, live on IRC. (Mostly, he ask him questions while they were sitting in the WF lobby):
I quote:
"re: the "its gonna be huge" comment"
"2 things:
1. "Maps don't have size categories"
2. "The promo we have coming up for minis is unprecedented"
Another question offered to our resident Dragon Editor:
Q: "If they're giving us more new maps in future issues?"
A: "The word I had is we're looking at 1-2 maps in Dragon issues this year. That's not a guarantee. But its what they're gunning for." | |

| Hmmm. It's hard to figure out what he means by "unprecedented". We've had no Huges (yet), but while a Huge Promo is a first it somehow doesn't match the excitement level that he's putting out there. A Huge Rare, maybe?
That seems a little much--but you never know. When does one need to be a subscriber to Dragon to obtain this "unprecedented promo"? | |

Whatever it is, it will be available starting with the June 2006 issue. June is Dragon's anniversary month and it is always devoted to dragons. | |

I just read the latest issue of Dragon last night and here is the quote from it
"To celebrate that theme(dragons)and the magazines milestone, we've also worked with Wizards of the Coast to offer a special limited edition D&D Miniature figure that you're just going to love. I'm extremely excited about this offer, you can assure you that its going to be Huge"
So my guess is your Right because also on top of the page is a artists drawing all in light pencil of Tiamat on the cover of a Dragon magazine.This is all in this months editorial. | |

Not at all. It's basically $39/year for 12 issues. Under $3.50 per issue instead of the much higher cover price. | |

This is exactly what I'm thinking as well. A limited run promo that isn't available in a conventional set. From the sounds of things, I'm guessing it will be a huge dragon as well. | |

There was some speculation that the 'huge' promo might jsut be a special map either larger than normal or for epic. I believe he is saying its not going to be a map.
I hope it is an Aspect of Tiamat promo *drools*.
That would certainly be unprecedented, a huge, an aspect and rare promo. | | | |

| | I still say it would be awesome to get the Hydra that better be in DQ repainted as a Cryo- or Pyro- Hydra. This has the advantage of being distinct, useful Huge creature that wouldn’t require investing in concept, molding, and production a mini and not releasing it in a set. | |

| | On the contrary I believe it is clear that the map comment was specifically intended to dispel the rumor that it would be a map because he said that the news was HUGE and then subsequently said that maps don’t have sizes meaning that it therefore couldn’t be a map. | |

subscribers usually get the mag the second week of the month (at least I do) and it hits the shelves roughly a week later.
The issues are dated a month in advance so the issue I got in febuary is the March issue. So the June issue should come in May.
you can go to paizo web site after you subscribe and see exactly what issue you start with and when it will be mailed. | | | |
