Sure, it has full color and excellent production values, as well as useful material and info on d20 games... It's an excellent magazine, I'm not disputing that. But it is a magazine with a $20 price tag!!! I barely scrape up enough useful material from Dragon or Dungeon each issue to justify their $6 price tags... I'm sure not gonna shell out $20 for a magazine, even if it is d20 related. United Playtest, the publishers, are completely out of touch with the gaming and magazine buying public in my opinion. Cut the page count, cut the full color, and give us a $6 magazine (preferably with more crunchy bits) and maybe more people will buy it. I just don't see this publication thriving, let alone surviving, in its current $20 format. I mean, which would you rather have? A $20 magazine or a $20 rule book or supplement? Or two $10 adventures? Or five to six $3-$4 mini-modules? I know I go for the "crunch" every time, not a hodge podge of information--most of which I will never be able to use in my games, even if I enjoy reading it or find it interesting. I have ENWorld to fill me in on upcoming products and give me reviews and links to interviews, sites, etc. I have Dragon and Dungeon to give me crunchy articles and adventures for my games. So why do I need to shell out $20 for a single issue of Gaming Frontiers? The answer is, I don't--and I won't--not at that price or anything near it. Just my two cents.</p></blockquote><p></p>
