How fair is that to me?Flakey concepts are anything not proven to be a bestseller; therefore it is safe to assume that they will have limited appeal. Pretty much everything in Poly qualifies as far as I'm concerned. Save "innovations" like Thunderball Rally and Hijinks for fan sites or third party publishers. Dungeon is supposed to be all about D&D, not about misc. genre rpgs. The internet is where flakey concepts belong (since that's where so many flakes are, LOL); no sane publisher should risk money on them. IMO, Paizo is mistaken if they think they can turn Dungeon into a "player's magazine". How many players are going to pay for two $6-7 mags each month (Dragon and Dungeon?). Not many. None of my players even buy Dragon! Heck, I rarely buy Dragon (too many stupid comics, too many useless [for me] articles).Poly was formerly a free zine sent to RPGA members only, and like its counterpart, the near-useless [to me] LGJ, is now it's being forced upon the rest of us and destroying our beloved magazine month by month, piece by piece, just like cancer (as another poster pointed out). You say if we don't like it, don't buy it, and that's true... I haven't been buying many issues since Poly crept in, but the point is, Dungeon is one of the few cheap sources for D&D adventures and if I want them, I'm stuck getting less D&D in each issue. The magazine is so hit or miss that limiting D&D adventures to only a few per issue is a guaranteed way to ensure fewer people will find each issue useful. The sheer quantity and variety of D&D adventures is what kept the magazine as popular as it was with so many DMs over the years. With less content to choose from, it's now a struggle to justify paying for the magazine at all, and certainly not monthly if the past three issues are any judge. Frankly, a few band aids like cutting subscriber only content isn't going to have enough impact... Wait! I've got it! Make Poly the subscriber only content! That way, I never have to subscribe or even see the accursed Poly in my Dungeon ever again! Iron-Chef, you're a genius!  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" /> </blockquote>
