Oh god, those are some of the most horrifying scenarios in any TV show. Sinister clowns, evil puppets, hallucinogenic candy, impromptu gladiatordom, vampire feeding grounds, being kidnapped and renamed Dave, the possibilities are multitudinous. Let's see what darkness lurks behind the bright lights and music of this troupe of troubadours and harlequins. Editorial: They've had a full year to work out the kinks by using their hardcore fanbase from Dragon & Polyhedron as test subjects. This is the issue that Dungeon goes on sale on the newsstands. How very exciting for them. Of course, that also increases the risk of overprinting and losing money on the unsold returns compared to being subscription only, but that's life. You've got to speculate to accumulate, or go digital only, and see if anyone'll pay for what you have to offer when they could probably wait a bit then pirate it instead. Hopefully their sales will increase rapidly at this point. To hedge their bets a bit more, they're offering special deals if you sign up your friends. Get recruiting! Adventure is better with a good set of stalwart companions! The atmosphere in here is definitely much less stressed out than the Polyhedron newsroom. It's good to be able to jump between the two and get a breath of fresh air. Letters: Once again, letters are a bit thin on the ground here. The first one says it's about time they started selling the magazine in stores, which gives them another opportunity to smugly say they already have. Now if only they could get up the demand to do non-D&D adventures as well, which would stave off repetitiveness in the topics they cover by a good few years.The other one asks once again why they don't do adventures for evil characters. They're not bending on this one, no matter how many complaining letters you send, because no matter how strident your complaints are, trust me the Satanic Panic ones are louder and shriller. It'll take a complete change in circumstances and management before we even consider changing that.</blockquote>
