[QUOTE="JeffB, post: 1544334, member: 518"] Well, I cancelled my sub when it went to "more poly" so AFAIC Dungeon was cancelled when the dungeons got leaner and fewer per issue. That said I didn't mind the D20 content (other than the majority of the mini-games), but when it started to interfere with Dungeon content, it was time to vote w/ my $. While I sympathize with the poly fans (or especially the SW Gamer fans, lovedthat mag), it seems Paizo is simply returning to the original focus of the what the magazine always has been about until a couple of years ago...D&D adventures. For that I'm thankful. I don't think the anti-poly people are whiners, it's simply the fact that Dungeon went off on a tangent w/ Poly when the format had not changed since 1986 or whatever. You really cannot expect people to just say "OK...I'll take this other stuff I'll never use in exchange for material I will use in some capacity". And of course I suspect most of the big Poly fans were not fans of Dungeon previously. When the magazine shifted in thier (poly fans) favor, they were happy, but in the end Paizo only peed off the majority of fans the magazine had garnered for 15 years plus. If I bought Field & Stream for however many years, and all of sudden half the page count each month was dedicated to mountain biking, I'd be a little peeved. Not arguing mind you..just thinking out loud :) [/QUOTE]
