[QUOTE="Simplicity, post: 1473578, member: 1496"] I don't buy this for a second. Take out an old bi-monthly Dungeon and compare the number of adventures in it to a monthly Dungeon. Most monthly Dungeon magazines have two adventures in them. Two. Most bi-monthly Dungeons had four to five. Now compare the latest Adventure Path adventures to the ones in the bi-monthly magazine. The adventures literally go from being 2 fifty room dungeons per adventure to 2 twenty room dungeons per adventure. That's not cutting in content in half. That's cutting content in a quarters (half as many adventures, and half as long each). I actually think we were getting quite a lot more adventures (and adventures of greater length and quality) in the bi-monthly Dungeon magazine. The real reason to go to monthly is that you can get twice as much filler. Twice as many dungeon letters, tables of contents, next issue columns, smaller adventures mean more boilerplate setup text, etc. I would be happy if they went back to bi-monthly, personally.
