[QUOTE="Erik Mona, post: 85129, member: 2174"] Congrats on the good review, Jeff. That said, the reviewer is a little too quick, in my opinion, to discount Wizards of the Coast for not covering d20 material in Dragon. Dragon is the official magazine of Dungeons & Dragons, not of the d20 system. For more coverage of the d20 industry (though certainly a different fish than Gaming Frontiers), folks should check out Polyhedron, which now comes as part of Dungeon magazine. I'm not sure a straight comparison between GF and either of WotC's publications does a service to any of the pubs involved. Still, it's nice to see you guys getting so many good reviews for what was, in my opinion, an extremely ballsy move (essentially marketing an $18.00 magazine). Yes, _I_ know it's not a magazine, but it's not really a normal product, either. I prefer to view Gaming Frontiers as a great way to "sample" from the d20 industry that can help gamers home in on companies and products that might be interesting to them, but that would otherwise have been lost in the glut. Good luck, and I hope to see Gaming Frontiers continue for some time. --Erik Mona Editor, Polyhedron Magazine [/QUOTE]
