[QUOTE="Acid_crash, post: 1887105, member: 16278"] I stopped purchasing the magazine for many reasons. One is cost, I don't have the money to spend 7 bucks a month to get a magazine that seems to be filled with randomly put together articles that 'hopefully' make sense. Two is that some magazines have themes that just don't interest me (if it's about Planar travel, count me out). Three, sometimes the magazine is on a theme kick, but the articles in the magazine seem to harm the theme more than service it. One example is issue 305 on Urban Adventuring. First off, those feats in that article are crap. Second, no article in that issue did any good for me in trying to establish an urban game. Third, there was no How To guide in the magazine on how to create urban settings/towns/cities. If there was, I missed it. Waste of 7 bucks. Many of your magazines are like this. The only things in your magazines I like and tend to use are the Class Act type articles towards the back. Other types of articles include the Campaign Act articles similar in issues 299, 301, and 303. (What happened to those?) The best articles for me are those that best teach how to do something, and not those that just give me a city in the deep abyss, it's history, and hope that I use it. Crap like that will surely persuade me to keep my 7 bucks. [/QUOTE]
