[QUOTE="Erithtotl, post: 907402, member: 1971"] [b]Re: Re: Dungeon #99 - Is the end near?[/b] I should ask you the same question. Issue #98 was the first of the so called flip-flopping issues. In that one, 40 pages were devoted to Polyhedron, 60 to Dungeon. So, on the 'good' weeks I'm still getting %40 Polyhedron content (vs. the %20-%30 or so when the magazine was bi-monthly). Absolutely, utterly incorrect. As pointed out below, issue #98 had 3 adventures and a sidetrek. Issue #99 had 1 adventure and 2 sidetreks. Issue #97, the last bi-monthly issue (page counts approximate): 120 pages of Dungeon 60 pages of Polyhedron 3 full-length adventures, including 'Life's Bazaar, which was massive (nearly double the length of the adventure in issue #99) 1 side trek. Total cost: $7.99 (4 cents per page, 6.6 cents per Dungeon page) Issue #98 + Issue #99 100 pages of Dungeon (60 + 40) 100 pages of Polyhedron (40 + 60) 2 full length adventures (1 + 1) 2 side treks (2 + 0) Total cost: $13.98 (7 cents per page, 14 cents per Dungeon page) For those of us who read Dungeon for DUNGEONS, not only are we getting less content (even divided over two issues) but we're paying over TWICE as much for that content. I actually don't mind Polyhedron. But its not why I buy the magazine. I don't play other games. Not because I hate them but because I have a job and a life and don't have time to play more than one. It was fine when it was a subordinate publication, but now its eating up half of the space, and at increased cost, it's becoming very disappointing. [/QUOTE]
