Dungeon/Poly #95

[Eridanis]

So is Eric on a special distribution where he always get his first?

I subscribe and it seems I always see post from Eric about getting his 2 or 3 days before mine gets here.

Anyway, is it time for Poly to go away? I'd prefer the subscription price drop a couple bucks an issue.

Well, I can't speak for Eric, but perhaps geographic location has something to do with it. I get my issue of DRAGON the same day or the following day that Aitch Eye posts his rundowns, and he and I (and Eric, too) are in the Midwest. (I think the magazines are sent out from somewhere in Illinois, but don't quote me.) You Colorado location *might* account for the day or two extra needed for your to get your issue.

Of course, I might be wrong, and it's just the Postal Fairies in your area don't materialize your mail quickly enough. Your choice.

Bwah ha ha! Just try living on the other side of the Atlantic. Believe me, the word "days" doesn't even figure into it!

It'll be interesting to see how much conversion is necessary between D20 Modern and D&D. My guess is the main issues will be hp vs. wound/vitality, AC vs. Defense/DR, and is there a metric vs. standard issue as well? Not sure...

Actually, d20 Modern is going to use hit points. Check out Charles Ryan's comments on the WotC d20 Modern board.

I always seem to get my issue (I subscribe) several days after the first reviews go up, like five to seven days!

I live in Massachusetts, that may have something to do with it.

This is extra painful this issue, as I cannot wait to see Mecha Crusade!!!

BTW, I use the Poly side all of the time, and the Dungeon side on occasion. I run all sorts of D20 campigns, including D&D, and Dungeon/Poly is the best value on the market (for eclectic GMs like me, at least).

And to underscore a point RobNJ made, I love miniatures, and have thousands. I therefore have no need for the monster counters found in Dungeon. But, strangely, I don't think they should be removed. If they help sell the magazine, that's fine by me!

Um, anyone need some counters?

 

[King_Stannis]

let me preface this by saying i love dungeon. but what the hell is with the "sealed section" stuff! were you supposed to just slit it down the middle? i made a horrid mess of my mag by cutting it out with an exacto knife.

That postman has always looked a little suspicious.

And I'm still waiting for my mag. So the count is 1 day so far.

Feel sorry for me! I haven't even received my issue of Dragon #300 yet.

I feel more sorry for Morrus and all our friends overseas though, but seeing all the debate over an issue for 3 weeks and not having said issue is pretty sucky.

I'm not hijacking this thread into another #300 thread...I'm not hijacking this thread into another #300 thread...I'm not hijacking this thread into another #300 thread... I'm not. So don't start.

I always get mine on the same day and I live in Kentucky.

Since I'm on the subject, here's an interesting little bit of news:

At the beginning of Poly, Osseum has a two-page add showing off their October and november releases, one of which is our own resident dwarf, Wulf Ratbane's, own Heroes of High Favor: Half-Orcs. Mmmmm.

I hate waiting!

I live in the midwest too, and while I usually get Dragon right away, Dungeon never shows up until at least a week or even two after people start posting about it on here.

I just figure it's one of those mysteries of the universe.
