You can look below at the history of the last 12 issues I have.issue-------Cost -----Pages dungeon----Pages poly85----------8.99----------96---------------086----------8.99----------128-------------089----------8.99----------114-------------091----------8.99----------116------------6493----------8.99----------112------------6694----------9.99----------94--------------6295----------9.99----------98--------------6696----------9.99----------89--------------6797----------9.99----------115------------6498/99------19.98----------115------------88Averaging about 100pages of dungeon every other month some shorter some longer. This is understandable . page count can’t always dictate the adventures you have.At Sept 2002 a 1dollar increase in cost a few issues after poly had been incorporated.Honestly I didn’t find that to bad really to me poly was worth the extra buck. And for all the poly fans Dungeon is probably worth a getting with their poly for a buck.So overall I see this as a fair compromise of how to combine both subscribers into one mag.Now the switch to monthly is where things just get out of control. The price DOUBLED! For the exact same dungeon content and an increase in poly content of about 25%! Now I understand the American price was nocked down 1dollar a month going back to basically 2 bucks cheaper every 2 months.. WHY was the Canadian price left up at 9.99??? This has been a real sore spot for me especially with issues like 99 where its basically 10 dollars for one 20page module.. i could have paid 13bucks for a full blown commercial retail module instead. Very hard to swallow.Now the other big issue is why has the poly content thru 2 issues increased and the dungeon content stayed the same? I can almost guaranty you that if that extra 24 pages of poly in 98/99 had been dedicated to another dungeon adventure the majority of the feelings of being ripped off or extremely disappointed wouldn’t be.When was the decision made to increase poly content and not dungeon content and honestly why? I don’t mind poly but I don’t want more of it per say.As far as poly content, I’d like to see more d20 and ogl modules and less minigames.Give me some more COC,Bablyon5,Everquest,D20 modules and supplements to support the other d20 games I play and I’d be happier then an endless stream of minigames that seem to just showcase d20’s ability to diversify.I think looking at this all unless you increase the quantity of Dungeon content per month the practically doubling of cost is just not justifiable to the average customer and the magazines percentages need to be adjusted back to a 70/30ratio.Take that 24 pages and put it towards dungeons and add a few more.80pages per month of dungeon and 34pages of poly each month would work for me.</blockquote>
