[QUOTE="Marius Delphus, post: 1888334, member: 447"] I've decided to let my subscription lapse, after some soul-searching (I was a regular buyer for a long time before I was a subscriber -- my collection is fairly complete back to issue 80), for one fairly simple reason: I'm sick to death of new classes, new races, new feats, and new spells. And I don't play much at the moment. Two reasons. And the first few issues of the re-format went too far in the "crunch" direction for me and turned me right off. Three reasons. And I have no interest whatsoever in Eberron or the miniatures game. Four reasons. I'll come in again. Seriously, though, I don't have an axe to grind over it. Dragon needs to focus on where the customers are, and I respect that without qualification. I even believe the re-format was a very good move for the magazine (though I'm not, of course, privy to sales figures). It's just that I've known for a while that I'm not part of Dragon's core audience* at the moment, and so for me, personally, it's not worth renewing. For now, I'll consider picking up an individual issue or two per year if it looks really engaging. Dungeon, on the other hand, is a must have for me right now. The DMing articles are great, and the adventures, even if I can't use them right away, are always top-notch. * Players who participate in more than one game session a month, have more than an itty bitty amount of time to spend on the game outside game sessions, and who generate new characters frequently, it would seem; though I could be mistaken.
