[QUOTE="Gnarlo, post: 1024309, member: 2995"] Just to throw in my 2 coppers: I've had a lot of fun reading the Poly side, and have even incorporated some into my game for later use (the Spelljammer clone for example), and have played a couple of one shot Thunderball Rally games (my friends still in the area are old Car Wars gamers from way back :) ). I'd be happy with Poly anywhere up to 50% of the mag, though I don't like the issues when it takes more than that (I did subscribe to Dungeon after all, not Poly). I also think my liking for it may be nostalgia and age; my "golden period" of Dragon was the time before it became a TSR only mag (indeed, I remember Gary ranting against the various "house organs" in one editorial :) ), and it had articles on Traveller, and Runequest, and all sorts of fun stuff that I liked reading about, and often tried out after seeing an article or adventure. I feel the same way about the Poly side now; I'd like to see more support for some of the stuff you've already put out, as well as support for the other d20 games out there; getting a decent, "free" d20 Modern adventure or Star Wars adventure in Poly might interest me enough to push me over the edge and buy the games. Unfortunately, my college days of buying every new RPG that came out because a) they wuz cool, and b) we had loads of time to play them all were a long time ago. :( (But I have an impressive looking bookshelf full of games from from 20+ years ago, and reams of DM and character notes to boot. It scares my new players *evil cackle* :D ). [/QUOTE]
