[QUOTE="The Gryphon, post: 1474270, member: 17286"] LightPhoenix is right on the money about the monthly vs. bi-monthly costs. When I enquired why they had changed and wouldn't return to a split bi-monthly magazine (Dungeon one month and Polyhedron the other) when this all started, I was told that they had to maintain two sets of everything running it that way which greatly increased costs. No-one complained about the amount of content 30 issues ago (2000), just before the change to 3rd Edition. At that time a Dungeon issue contained about 70 pages of adventures, was on lower grade paper, there were only two staples holding the magazine together which could rip out if care wasn't taken, and had a cover price of $4.95. We've just been spoiled by our recent good fortune of getting so much in Dungeon (issues #82-90) and then the combined Dungeon/Polyhedron (issues #91-96) for so little since the advent of 3rd Edition D&D. I think they should have taken more than $1.00 from the cover price when the magazine became a monthly though, and reduced it to the same price as Dragon. [/QUOTE]
