[QUOTE="Emirikol, post: 1078195, member: 10638"] [b]Dungeon is only as good as it's readership wants[/b] Dungeon is THE only D&D scenario magazine out there correct? Anybody wonder why? I've recently been informed by the dudes at MONGOOSE that SCENARIOS ARE THE LOWEST SELLING ITEMS OF ANY GAME COMPANY. What do they sell? Well, from the numbers DM's tend to purchase campaign settings and players buy occasional 'splatbooks.' Gamers on average tend to be, well, cheapasses who complain a lot about perfection (must be the left-brain people, because you certainly don't see the right-brainers griping about the artwork or clinically-sterile scenario writing-styles). Should we purchase an inferior product? No. But, let's look at what Dungeon could be that without exception we wouldn't want to purchase... You have to give gamers credit though. At least their computer-programmer mentality and lack of personality are being put to work minimally enough to insult productive guys like Erik to demand a better product..at the very least. I've seen a lot of personal attacks and defenses on these threads, however not enough suggestions. And, I'll bet Erik hasn't seen an increase in submissions. Erik hasn't specifically asked for it yet, but it may be useful to continue with suggestions about what we like and what we like less. Speaking of..I've got a review coming up about a scenario we just played... cya Jay .. [/QUOTE]
