[QUOTE="ColonelHardisson, post: 1073019, member: 363"] Sure you are. Nobody else prints modules with a similar amount of content for less than even $10, and the Polyhedron content (which I have been championing just as long as you have) only adds to that. But you knew that. What you mean, of course, is that the Polyhedron content may not be worth $7 on its own. That may be true. Even in issues which are Poly-heavy, the Dungeon content easily equalled that of just about any other print module, none of which, again, are less than $10. I'd say that there isn't going to be a clear-cut solution that pleases anyone 100% and keeps the magazine in print. Anyone who would rather have it go away rather than have one side or the other in the magazine at all, or have one side dominate the magazine - just stop reading it now. Pretend it's gone already. If you want to cancel a subscription, do so. Maybe Dungeon will eventually become the mag you want, maybe not. Maybe another mag will come along to take up the slack. Who knows? All I know is that I'm pretty picky about the magazines I read also; I generally don't have subscriptions to mags (Dragon and Dungeon were notable exceptions; I had subscriptions for years). I look at them on the newsstand, and if I don't like the look of an issue that month, I don't buy it. I figure if it's a magazine I generally like (say, Popular Science), that an issue will come along eventually I will like, and I'll buy it then. If not, I'll find something else to read. Especially now with the internet, one can find tons of adventures and any other kind of game content one might want, much of it all for free. [/QUOTE]
