[QUOTE="Vocenoctum, post: 3140284, member: 2477"] I'm not really sure why I still subscribe. My general policy was that if even half the issues were useful, it was worth subscribing, but now it's more about never getting to the stand to buy them, so subscribing is easier. The Adventure Path is a neat idea, but the current one doesn't interest me at all, which translates into quite a bit of wasted space for me. Basically, I figure I'll subscribe so I don't have to worry about missing an issue I'll actually like, but at some point that becomes pointless. I've bought stuff via ad's before, but nothing so remarkable that it improved gameplay. I've enjoyed articles, but nothing so great that I need it. My Dungeon Apathy began around the AoW Overload issue, having to constantly defend against fans when I'd ask for the overview that was promised, it wore me out on the magazines. Now I see a lot of that same attitude in regards to the magazines, and I think the quality has sort of stagnated. Too much of the stuff is regarded as "we're on the right path", to the point that it's not really original. Current issue of Dragon was pretty bad for me. The artwork looked subpar for the most part, the articles were bland also. I loved Zuggtmoy, but Dagon? I already got the KuoToa=Deep One link, and the article didn't really do anything to expand it in useful ways for me. Either way, I don't judge the magazine by one issue, but if I look back when subscription is due and can't remember the useful material, I'll probably let it drop this time. [/QUOTE]
