[QUOTE="Mercule, post: 803971, member: 5100"] FWIW, I did just go out and pick up #306. Now that I've seen the cover up close and personal, I like it. Probably not the _best_ cover ever, but it is very good. I'm not saying that for the cheesecake, either (sorry, those talons kinda ruin the cheesecake effect for me). It's just well done. And the cover isn't swamped by text, either. If the guys from Paizo are listening, do more like this. Didn't much care for the new critters or the Killing Cousins article (caveat: I haven't read the whole thing yet, I might change my mind), but the content looks solid overall. Nothing exemplary, but plenty of useful bits. Of course, the Silicon Sorcery, being about video games will never get read by me even should I purchase or consider purchasing Icewind Dales 2 (for those who are slow, I'll reiterate: SS is a waste of space, IMHO). I'm also happy to see there isn't any fiction in the magazine (or I missed it). Overall, though, this is what I'd expect the baseline of the magazine to look like. There's nothing that jumps out as extremely good, but nothing extremely bad, either. Just generally useful. [/QUOTE]
