[QUOTE="Hussar, post: 3958857, member: 22779"] Imagine the screaming for a second. You're going to have almost a year of Dragon and Dungeon from Paizo supporting an edition that is going out the door. And, you still don't build any support for the online offerings. It's funny, I downloaded the first Dragon and took a look. It's 76 pages long, so, it's about 25 pages short of what we had before. Except, there's no advertising, so, there's about 10 pages, no comics, about another 4 pages. So, now we're up to 90 pages equivalent. Pretty much the same size. Articles are pretty much the same as what we saw before. Same writers anyway. So, we've gone to a bi-monthly format, but, we're getting it for free. Sure, it's advertising. I realize that. But, how is several free issues of Dragon and Dungeon not a major gift to the community? I mean, come on. Name a single magazine that gives out SIX MONTHS worth of material for free just to get you to come on board. Name a single gaming magazine that's going to give you about 20 full length professional quality adventures FOR FREE. I'm failing to see how they've "bitten off more than they could chew". They said they were going bi-monthly. They've given us professional quality magazines. What more do you want? Since you brought up Mongoose's Signs and Portents, let's compare shall we. I just took a look at issue 51. We've got a 74 page pdf, with advertisements, no full color art, and six pages of product listings for Mongoose. It's a far cry from what you got with Dragon or Dungeon. ((Very cool material though - :D )) [/QUOTE]
