[QUOTE="Glyfair, post: 1000936, member: 53"] Probably. Personally, as long as there is the equivalent amount of useful subscriber only content, I'll be satisfied (say a few side treks, critical threats, etc). Unfortunately, Paizo painted themselves in a corner by announcing subscriber only adventures. I'm sure many bought their subscriptions with the understanding they'd be getting these (although it may not have been the most significant reason for the subscription). To tell the truth, Dungeon isn't a magazine I'd pick up at the newstand. It's something I'd subscribe to, or page through on the shelf. I admit to having mixed feelings about the changes in the magazine. I really didn't like Polyhedron as an RPGA member. It suffered too much from a lack of focus for my tastes and I found very little of use in the magazine. The Living Greyhawk Journal was [I]much[/I] more of use to me (and much more focused). However, when they moved to Dungeon, the magazine jumped several points in my eyes. The removal of most of the direct RPGA coverage (which didn't add anything to me), gave more room for articles I found useful. I really don't like the change to a monthly magazine. While I would have loved to get Dungeon/Polyhedron monthly (for the obvious increase in cost), what I'm getting is about 1/2 a Dungeon/Polyhedron per month. This certainly has left me with an unsatisfied feeling every month (well, except for issue #100, which was what I'd really like the magazine to be). I'd rather they go back to bi-monthly. However, my biggest issue is when I do business with a company, I expect a certain amount of professional integrity from the company. If they announce something, I expect them to follow through. Sure, somethings may need to be modified (this article was late, so it'll be in next issue). However, promising things I would make buying decisions based on, and them removing it, isn't showing respect for me as a customer (indeed, someone who was a loyal enough customer to subscribe to the magazine since I returned to playing D&D) Then again, Erik wasn't clear with what his intentions are. Maybe he's not eliminating the subscriber only adventures. Maybe he's just planning on dealing with the issue in some other way. I'm awaiting his clarification. Until then, I'm not renewing my subscription, though. I expect to know what the conditions of my subscription are. [I](As an aside, the first renewal notice last month was for the old bimonthly issue deal - I found that odd they'd still be sending that out. My current one is currect, though.)
