bolen said:Boy, I wish I could get this in print. Are magazines really that unprofitable?
Grazzt said:This. I don't care for the delve format at all.
And Erik has since said that he never wanted to do another magazine again (or similar words indicating a dislike for the hassles involved).Vanuslux said:As far as I know, Paizo wasn't having much trouble keeping the mags afloat until WotC yanked them away from them.
This is a very good point. I love the concept, though. I think it would have been a whole lot better back in the days when you had box sets.NiTessine said:The delve format wastes space and breaks up the natural flow of the module, which leads to unnecessary page-flipping.
The concept is also to have all the information necessary to run the encounter on one page. Map with starting locations for monsters. Statblocks for all monsters. Details on terrain, illumination and other battlefield conditions, including the effects they have on the encounter.Hawke said:The format has to do with where the encounter information is... the older (what I think people are calling delve) format is:
Yes, that's a drawback. But honestly, I rank usability over space. Even if this means it's more expensive.Glyfair said:One thing that a lot of people hate is how it adds more pages to an adventure.

It died when stat blocks became as large as half a page?Ruin Explorer said:Pffft.
Whatever happened to having ONE big sheet with ALL the monster stat blocks on it, and then the encounters can just list the which ones are present in any given place. When you print it out, or even just have it open in another window, it eliminates flipping entirely, and also eliminates wasted space.
