[QUOTE="SneakyB, post: 908796, member: 2219"] Count me amongst the masses who are getting really put-off by Dungeon. For me, Issue #99 was pure garbage. Although I will never use the content in Poly, I renewed the subscription several months ago for the Dungeon content. I'm sad to say that after this subscription period is over, I absolutely will NOT be renewing unless some things change. The crux of the matter is that we have seen the price of the magazine increase by ~33%, go monthly, reduce overall page content and on top of all of that flip-flop between content mix. If 40% and alternately 60% of the content is completely useless to me, then I can see no reason to pay for such a subscription. For me, I suspect that after the end of my subscription, I will evaluate purchasing the magazine using the same criteria I do for gaming products, which is pretty stringent. Additionally, it seems to me as if everyone that writes in to the editor with a letter that negatively comments on the mix, pricing, etc. gets shot down rather rudely with statements such as the following: "You pay more now, but you still get more adventure material for your gaming dollar than buying nearly any module off the store rack. " This USED to be the case. I disagree that you get more adventure material. IMO, the quantity and the quality of the content has gone downhill since Paizo took over. This does NOT include issue #100, but let's all keep in mind here that this is a special, anniversary issue and doesn't follow the norms of the other issues. There's no right or wrong answer or mix here, but I think that Paizo is really frustrating people with their apparent unwillingness to listen to its customer base. Kudos are published as "Hey, we're doing great", but complaints are quickly shot down. Just my 2 cp, Dan [/QUOTE]
