[QUOTE="Sir Whiskers, post: 1474834, member: 6941"] Erik, thanks for the response. I completely forgot about advertising. I wonder what percentage of Dungeon's operating capital comes from advertising vs. subscriptions? (No, I'm not really asking) Whatever the figure, I can understand that getting more ad revenue matters. Unfortunately, I think one thing that has happened is (by going monthly and reducing each issue's size) the perception that we're getting less has been greatly strengthened. Perception may not be reality, but it's usually more important. I have two issues left on my subscription, and I'm still on the fence. Page counts aside, I just don't feel like I'm getting my money's worth. This is not a criticism of the magazine's staff - as has been said, production values have increased. Basically it comes down to, for whatever reason, I just don't use as many newer adventures as I do older ones. Whether or not that's due to the changes in the magazine, it's a concern when I have to decide how to spend my gaming dollars. I do hope Dungeon weathers this storm - it's been a class publication for many years and I'd like to see it continue. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
