[QUOTE="Nellisir, post: 6549621, member: 70"] I'm not sure who you're responding to. My point, actually, was that I'm not (few people are) a logical buyer. $5 or $10 a month is an impulse buy. $50 is something I have to budget for. I pay more in the long run for the same or less material, but I also get an increase in diversity and the ability to customize my purchases to what interests me. Buying an AP is like purchasing a whole pig. It might be useful, but not so great if I want steak on Saturday and turkey on Thanksgiving. That said, it doesn't make any kind of financial sense for WotC to revive Dungeon OR Dragon in the traditional print format. It's unclear to me whether or not they would work in a non-traditional print format, or as solely digital formats, or a hybrid (ie, POD). But being the only game in town doesn't make APs more attractive to me, it just makes them the only choice. Edit: I buy comic books. Nowadays they run $4/issue. In trade paperback form, it's more like $3/issue. It's clearly cheaper to buy in tpb, and they are easier to store, display, etc. But I'm still buying the single damned issues, and even as I cut back, I'm not buying more tpbs.
