[QUOTE="DDK, post: 574093, member: 6469"] I've never been much into Dungeon and so as a Greyhawk fan I was disappointed when I heard that the LGJ would be moving over to Dungeon. However the reduced price and a monthly, rather than bi-monthly edition means that at least I'll now consider buying the mag. One thing I'd love to know, though, is how you go about distributing the mag to Australia and the Asia-Pacific region. Here the magazines are around $18-20 and our wages are not that disimilar to America's so that's quite a hefty price to pay for a magazine. I'm guessing that you ship copies from America to Australia which is where a majority of the price increase (a straight USD $7.99 converts to roughly $14 AUD so there is a $4-6 AUD jump in the price) comes from. Wouldn't it be better to produce copies here? At a price point of around $12-14 AUD which could be achieved by simply printing copies here, your sales would increase considerably, IMO. I know I'd be much more likely to buy the mag. Btw, have you ever considered dumping the entire Dungeon/Polyhedron name and split magazine concept and just combining the mags under one title with a format that is altered to reflect the combination? Your plan seems very convoluted which is no doubt due to having to cater to the different preferences of buyers but what, ultimately, are just cosmetic differences. [/QUOTE]
