Re: Dungeon- Paizo PLEASE Listen Amen, brother.

A couple of points: 1) We've never seen any of the numbers or evidence to prove Dungeon was on it's last leg, only a claim. Lots of people make claims that when you look at the details are not entirely accurate. No offense to Paizo, I've just seen a lot of good managers make bad assumptions...

Hey Erik, You definitely come across as a nice guy and I'm sorry if us Dungeon folks have been more than a bit insensitive at times. Personally, the reason I have fought so hard for more Dungeon content is I really see Dungeon as one of the last bastions of quality D&D adventures. Because of...

As one of the hardcore Dungeon folks out there, I had dropped my subscription. Thanks. I appreciate the move toward more Dungeon content and will continue to buy on a per issue basis as long as there is solid Dungeon content.

1) 5 players, 1 dm 2) Yes 3) Yes, one other... plus a couple former DMs 4) All guys, though my fiance will play occasionally 5) At least one fairly comprehensive game shop 6) Modules with a lot of customization, integration, and reshuffling 7) 30 years... 23 years 8) Older kid in the neighborhood

True, this does seem to be more of a floor operations/customer service issue. However, a little process improvement probably would improve things quite a bit as well. The reason companies like Dell and Walmart do so well in the market has a lot to do with supply chain managment. There are...

Recommendation. He might want to get someone with a supply chain management degree and a specialty in logistics. There are all sorts of ways to optimize lines using queuing theory and such.

I basically use modules to cover my weak areas. Generally, I'm great with integrating story lines, creating unexpected meta plots, and subplots for individual characters. What I generally don't have time for is all the details given that I have a fairly demanding job and other outside...

Since the economic downturn is the main reason for bundling the magazines, would you consider unbundling the magazines as the economy improves?

So it seems to me that a fair compromise between the anti-Dungeon crowd and the anti-Poly crowd is 80% Dungeon content and 20% Poly content. I'm no fan of Poly but would be willing to buy it again if the content were allocated in this way. Given the results this far it seems that most of the...

Yet another interesting way of slicing and dicing this thing.

Well, thus far if this poll were of microcosm of the Dungeon subscriber base, Paizo would actually have 14.2% more subscribers by not bundling the two magazines. They lose 21 subscribers of the sample by bundling Poly, but they lose only 11 subscribers of the sample by not bundling Poly. They...

Re: Re: My take: Okay, then short of throwing a couple thousand in to do Paizo's market research for them, what would be a fairer poll? You'd think that because this is such an important issue, they would have sent a survey out about it and at least entertained separating Dungeon and Poly...

Humor me. There may or may not be a punchline to this. It seem a little different at this point but there is a method to my madness. Answer the following: How much money would you pay for a stand alone Dungeon between -$2 and 12? How much would you pay for a stand alone Polyhedron Magazine...

I'm no statistics pro but using Chi square expected vs. observed test it seems pretty significant to me. At this point there is a 0.000000000002% chance that this is some random effect. Granted that the EN world board is not a random sample, but its the closest thing there existing that is...

But you see that's relative. To him and myself removing Polyhedron would be a vast improvement. Customer complaints can be extremely valuable information as long as you validate that with numbers and research.

Just curious where the "masses" stand on this.

As someone who has opted not to renew my subscription due to a lot of the recent changes, here is one possible alternative where I might still be willing to pay for adventures out of Dungeon. Perhaps three months after the publishing date make individual adventures available for purchase online...

Trust your intuition. When I get a strong feeling about something and I'm not sure why, it's usually right about 95% of the time. When I was younger I would often discount it. Over time I've learned to listen to it. It's an unfortunate situation but you guys are likely doing the right thing...
