[QUOTE="kreynolds, post: 917379, member: 2829"] I don't. The quality and value of Dragon/Dungeon (though Dungeon didn't used to be so bad) is about as reliable as a burlap condom, so I don't buy the mag until I get a chance to look at it. I can actually count on one hand how many issues I've purchased over the last year, and I can even do it while holding a cigarette. I suspect that one of the biggest problems with Dragon is lack of articles. Perhaps they just don't get near as many submissions as they once did? Or perhaps they still get a lot, but most of them suck? I don't know. I don't mind buying the mags, if they don't suck that month, but there's no way I'd pay for a subscription. That's like paying $40 for one of those "Make Money At Home Taking Online Surveys!" gigs. It wasn't always this way though. I'm hoping it will turn back around. To Paizo: "What would get my money" More support for the books! I.E., don't release an article about a new book once and then drop it forever. Come back to it every now and again. For example, the dragon magic article. Expand on that. If you get another submission about monster magic or monster spells, and it doesn't suck, and it's about a different monster/monsters, and you have space, put it in! Examples: Troll Magic, High Ogre Mage Magic, Demon Magic (possible mature content right there! :D), etc. When you've got a good idea, roll with it. Don't drop it. [/QUOTE]
