I would also argue that not all of Dungeon is usable as there is always at least 1 adventure that I don't like. Note however that the theoretical 80 pages for $14 comes out more expensive than the mega-adventures which only have nominal advertising and only slightly less than the Bastion of Broken Souls. Yes Dungeon is glossy and color, but how much real benefit is this really worth.If you like Poly then this does work out to a great deal, if however you are like me and don't need poly (I don't hate it I just don't use it) then you are going from the best price per page for adventures to average price per page for 2/3 Dungeon issues and highest price per page for 1/3 Dungeon issues. This is why I will only buy the 2/3 Dungeon issues.[Edit: Just checked another as well. City of the Spider Queen: $30 for 175 pages (+1 page of ads) full color glossy = 17.1c per page]</blockquote>
