Lame, lame adventures... LAME! The "Beast Of Burden" adventure is just a variation on the Iron Man (forget the title) adventure from #97 (the giant shogun warrior of Heironeous thing run by the evil gnome wizard in the Ming The Merciless costume). This new one isn't even as good as that, replacing the giant robot with a giant dinosaur with buildings on top of it. One of the worst ideas I've ever seen. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f641.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":(" title="Frown    :("  data-smilie="3"data-shortname=":(" />LAME! "The Lich Queen's Beloved", IMO, is never going to be used by most gamers as it's not only too high level, it's basically impossible to pull off unless you're Epic Level. Maybe I can use the maps for something else, but that's about it. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f641.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":(" title="Frown    :("  data-smilie="3"data-shortname=":(" />LAME! "Flame" is no good, either. Do we really need another adventure with a dragon as the main villain? It's so cliche it hurts. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f641.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":(" title="Frown    :("  data-smilie="3"data-shortname=":(" />LAME! Poly is, of course, as unusable and unwelcome as always (PULP HEROES excepted), but better than last month's miserable Jabberjaw/Josie mini-game "Hijinks". What were they thinking? <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f641.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":(" title="Frown    :("  data-smilie="3"data-shortname=":(" />LAME! The Critical Threats are always dumb, and this issue serves up more than the usual number. A rotten feature that adds nothing to the magazine except to waste space. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f641.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":(" title="Frown    :("  data-smilie="3"data-shortname=":(" />OVERALL: The 180 pages are only "value added" if they don't suck, LOL. I appreciate Paizo keeping #100's price down, but I still feel ripped-off when I only get about 20 pages of usable content in an issue. That's about twice as much as an "adventure booster" from AEG for only a couple extra pages. Paizo is not winning me over with continued inferior quality content like this.MY PREDICTION: Dungeon will cease publication within six months to a year, possibly being folded over into DUNGEON as a "flippy" format.</blockquote>
