(Yep back in the day you had to pay money to let everyone know how fast the sky was falling! And it took a whole month for people to call you a grognard!)76 pages left... Then there's a page just announcing TSR's insane release schedule... 75 pages...Those 75 pages are devoted to features, book reviews, news, fiction, sage advice, and some stuff about other TSR products (which I guess fall under features depending on your PoV...)All in all my point being I think they're just trying to get to a manageable level of content per month. I think they were over producing... Which was cool, and I can understand if people are disappointed by less page content... Myself? I'm ok with it if they continue and improve the quality of those articles. A lot of the stuff I was paying for in my paper magazine is free on the site. My money now goes to things that actually improve my game experience... An ever increasing pool of digital content for one... And yeah- I believe the CB and MB are just going to get better.So I'm still ok with my subscription dollars. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />Shrug.</blockquote>
