Folks,
I was just over at the Amazon.com pages that feature subscription information for Dragon and Dungeon, and some of the reviews are pretty awful. I don't object to negative reviews, but it does kind of suck that anyone going to Amazon to subscribe to the magazines would think that half of all Dungeons contain Polyhedron magazine.
Given the recent "thanks" threads, I wonder if any of you with some extra time would consider dropping by Amazon and writing up a quick review on the subscription pages. I'm not asking for 5 stars, or anything, just for an honest appraisal of the magazines as they are today, not as they were two years ago.
Here are the links to the relevant pages. Any help in this regard is much appreciated.

Thanks!

Dragon & Dungeon
Done....I also purchased a subscription to Dragon. I wasn't going to, because the one issue I did see seemed so "colorful" and geared towards 15 year olds, but I'm going to give it a full year subscription "review". I will subscribe to Dungeon for as long as it is published.
Done. Happy to help.
(I'd advise any future reviewers from these boards to "spread out" the reviews a wee bit ... it might look odd if Amazon gets 15 good reviews of Dragon/Dungeon on the same date!)
And I'll post on this one too! Why not? Done deal! How can I not help my favorite magazine? Anything else we can do to help, oh Editor-in-Chief?
OK. I've done it twice.
Hope it helps.

Sir Mona,
You didn't ask for five stars or anything, but you got five stars and a qualifying explanation.
You guys deserve it.
I wrote one for Dungeon and one for Dragon.
This, single-handedly, will usher in a new era of subscribers. Little construction paper inserts accompanied by checks are soon to inundate the folks at Paizo.
True, the millions at your disposal will lead to embezzlement and hefty jail sentences, but think of the upside. D&D will become core curriculum at city schools. All immigrants into the US will be forced to learned the thieves cant before earning their green card. They might even release that silly Mazes and Monsters film on DVD!
Help "Erik Mona?" (Again. ;))
Okay. :)
Stop referring to yourself in the third person. Its poor form unless you are the Queen of England. You're not the Queen of England are you?
Its pretentious and reads that way. Your sig appears beneath every message and is unnecessary in the title line. If you must, try for example - "Editor Dungeon/Dragon Needs Help."
Its bad enough they are calling you "God-Tyrant" of Dungeon/Dragon after your ill-advised rant on EN World. You don't need to perpetuate this bs by using the third person or "royal 'we'."
You are "the fan made good." Lose that "common touch" and you lose something most appealing.
I'll get off the chariot, now. :)
I assume this "royal" reaming appears once for Dragon and a second time for Dungeon?
I've Got Reach wrote a nice review of Dungeon for Erik Mona. You can see his review as the one that claims "Every self-respecting Dungeon Master worth their weight in Dr. Pepper and Cheetos should have a subscription to Dungeon." I've Got Reach will leave you all to prepare new and exciting ways to TPK his party in the Cairn.
Steve Greer wrote one, too.
chatdemon refuses to write one until Paizo and WotC remember that D&D existed before GenCon 2000.
Oh and he also generally refuses to write reviews for those who have to ask for them.
:-P

You can remember the time of shadows before 2000?
I'm having trouble with last month.
As Steve McCroskey (Lloyd Bridges) said in Airplane, "Looks like I picked the wrong week to stop sniffing glue."

Erik lost the plot? Oooh, where, link please?!
LOL. . . you jackals.
