Message: <blockquote data-quote="Kaptain_Kantrip" data-source="post: 163109" data-attributes="member: 546">My problem with GF is the price and scattershot content. My apologies to GF's staff if my comments were taken as being stated in too incendiary terms. "I believe continued publication of GF in its current format seems economically ill-advised," is what I meant by "doomed to failure." I notice there is now talk of the possibility of changing GF's format in the future, so that appears (at least to me) that there was merit (foresight?) in the arguments presented here by myself and others. I think many (not all) notables who have expressed positive opinions of GF have also cloaked, implied and/or blunted these endorsements with dubious (dire?) predictions of its future. Read their statements closely and you will see what I mean... I don't want to put words in anyone's mouth, so I will not cite specific examples.I think an $8-10 price tag for issues with specific theme content would be appropriate and make GF more useful. It should have at least one adventure (with maps) included, IMO. We don't need the color or huge page count, and I'd drop all the fiction and (most if not all) reviews. It would appear to be less of a "magazine" then. However, GF is still a serialized publication with issue numbers, which will always make it a magazine, IMO.BTW: A couple of points need clarifying:How I got the $20 per issue price is I took $17.95 cover price (no discount at my store) + 8.0% sales tax equals a little under $20, rounded up = approx. $20 per issue. I was not the one who mentioned Scenario magazine. I've never even heard of it, let alone seen it. FYI: I've heard of Campaign mag, but never seen it.</blockquote>
