Firstly, good job! the quality just keeps getting better and better.
in #14, mr. ward made a comment about not enough letters to the editor. I suspect that the forum has supplanted that and if anything, 'culling' topical questions/comments/posts for further exploration from the forum in an 'official' manner may be worth considering. for me, sending in a letter doesn't do it any more, but writing a forum post does. [shrug]
the sample article for the Castillian's guide to arms and armour (Think #13) is IMO the perfect article for the crusader mag. a great teaser on an upcoming product, and that article sold the product for me. please keep more of that type of article coming.
During the early Dragon days, (never read the mag past #122 or so) and now with the crusader, I really like to see more advertising (gasp!!!), this is the only product I've ever liked advertising for, because it gives me a chance to see products I don't normally know about. Goodman has advertised in the past, but I can't wait to see more 3rd party ads.
I don't get the comic's from Steve. I like comics, but I don't get those???
I really liked the mini-adventures found in some of the months. having a drop in everywhere/anywhere one-shot taking up a few pages is worth the price of admission IMO just for that. Can't tell you the number of times real life has caught up to me and I've not had a chance to prep for a game and would love to just take a one-nighter and drop it in with minimal modifications...
Less CKG previews, more TLG previews. there's a pile of products both old and new that could deserve a bit more marketing. just off the top of my head - the basic game, star siege, the "A" series modules in broad strokes, HH material, upcoming other siege products, etc etc etc...
Good job guys. never cared about a subscription enough to comment on it. keep up the great work.
cheers,
J.

I have to agree totally with you on the ads stuff, Jman. Ads rock!
I've discovered so many great books and companies from old Dragon magazine ads (and one from KQ, and a few from KoDT).
If Crusader is short on ads and letters maybe you should write them a letter that is a transparent attempt to plug your favorite FLGS or something .... hey! I'm gonna try that now, too!
