[QUOTE="TeaBee, post: 915409, member: 1431"] I haven't read this whole thread, I just saw that it has a bunch of people bashing Dungeon/Poly, and felt like posting. I've been a subscriber to Dungeon (and then Poly) and Dragon since about 6 months or so into 3rd edition. I plan to renew both subscriptions when they run out. Dungeon: I like the new circle thingies that say Forgotten Realms/Any Setting, Mid Level/Low Level, Dungeon/Wilderness. I like the Critical Threats and the new Agents & Allies features as well. I love the counters. Poly: I love all the mini-games. I love the Living Greyhawk Journal. I love the Star Wars content. I liked seeing Call of Cthulu content. I hate not having the flip Poly cover, as a subscriber (If I had to choose one, I'd want the Poly Cover). I hate that the mini-games never have character sheets, when they ALWAYS should. Dragon: I don't like that I can't think of any parts of a Dragon issue I look forward to (past ones were Class Acts and LGJ). I like setting specific articles like the recent Cormyr prestige classes (if they have a Greyhawk, Forgotten Realms or other specific setting slant, I find an article much more useful than a genric one. Generic is what I can get from other d20 companies, and often do). I like that some issues have had counters, though I prefer the cardboard pullouts of Dungeon to them being on a normal page or a poster. Miscelanious: I don't like that my last issues of Dragon and Dungeon/Poly came to me very damaged (not anything to do with Paizo, I guess) and had to be replaced. I don't like that there aren't message boards on the Paizo website. I like the web enhancements (though I'd like to see more Poly ones). Personally, if I was going to cancel one of the three mags, it would be Dragon. I mean, a year from now what good are those 3.5 preview articles? One thing I could think of adding that would interest me is fiction that includes relevant "crunchy bits" at the end, like Star Wars Gamer did. Just some NPC stats would greatly increase the usefulness of the fiction to me. Also, fiction set in WotC properties would be prefered (Forgotten Realms, Greyhwak, Ravenloft, DragonLance, etc.). What else would I do to make me enjoy Dragon? I don't know, and I guess it dosen't matter because it sells well. My biggest complaint about Polyhedron is that I can't get enough of it. I wish there was LGJ and SW in each issue. I absolutely love Poly. That's why I don't post much on the subject. Content people don't feel the need to tell others how content they are. I want Paizo to know that these are coments from someone who supports them by subscribing, not someone who used to buy issues off the news stands. I think there's more people out there who like Poly, like me, they just aren't as vocal as the "rip-Poly-out-and-burn-it" people. As a whole, Dungeon has only gotten better. The Poly "half" is great, and the Dungeon side has only improved with things like Critical Threats. What a great magazine! [/QUOTE]
