Picking one core audience will kill both magazines. It seems to me that Paizo is fighting to keep two ailing magazine alive. You think they don't want to publish TWO SUCCESSFUL magazines? Of course they do! Right now they don't believe either magazine is capable of surviving on its own, so they're trying some admittedly wacky strategies to keep readers from both happy long enough while they figure out a plan that will get both magazines back on their feet.What do you THINK they're trying to do? Why would they want to kill a potentially successful magazine? They are actually in the business of publishing magazines. For profit. More successful magazines is good for Paizo. I think it's safe to assume that most of the people working there have figured this out.If you think there's a better way, get on it. Round up the subscribers and make a bid to Paizo for the Polyhedron rights. Or start your own magazine to fill the gaping void you think Paizo is neglecting. If there's money to be made, why not go get it yourself?That's not to say you shouldn't speak up when you see Paizo making mistakes. But I don't see you identifying any policy mistakes in this post -- you're just ranting melodramatically as though this were a battle you've been waging at great personal sacrifice. Which, you know, is fair enough. Everybody has to rant from time to time.But seriously, if you think this company is screwing up and missing out and driving people away, why not start up a venture to grab hold of that potential money? Online magazines are a lot of work, sure, but Asgard makes a go of it. And there's others. Sell some ads, grab some subscribers and you could be on to something.</blockquote>
