[QUOTE="dm4hire, post: 4510447, member: 14848"] Dragon alone in print format was over 90 pages and toward the end it was over 100. Now they're saying you get over 60 pages between the two of them for the same price a yearly subscription cost for the print combined. How is that better? Granted you don't have the advertisements, but there really weren't that many ads in the magazines. The "Best of" is listed at 160 pages. If half that 60+ pages a month is Dungeon then you are effectively looking at close to everything printed this year minus the misc articles, probably all the adventures. Dragon seems to contain a lot of stuff which should have gone into the books but they decided to keep it out for some reason other than space as there is a lot of white space in my books, annoying the heck out of me when I read through them. Then there's the beta testing of classes that they seem bent on putting in Dragon to help get a feel for what they will be coming out with, that, wait for it....You have to pay for the final result anyway! Um, no. WotC needs to take a clue from Paizo in that regard and not charge for beta stuff. You're effectively paying them to beta test! I'd mention some of the other complaints I have about WotC and everything related to the web, but a lot of people have already captured it on this thread and others. [/QUOTE]
