[QUOTE="S'mon, post: 6027172, member: 463"] I had stopped buying Dragon somewhere after issue 200, when I realised I hadn't enjoyed it since about 1990. :) And Dungeon was never widely available in the UK. When 3e started I looked at Dragon and thought it had nothing to offer me, it was all PC splat stuff. Consequently I was not aware when Paizo got the license, and I feel I may have missed some good stuff especially from Dungeon magazine, but that is all retrospective. My 3e era gaming was very much WoTC core rules plus 3rd party adventures, mostly Necromancer Games stuff. I only looked at the mags again with the free 4e online issues; I still didn't see much of value in Dragon, still PC splat stuff only for for 4e, but I have read a good number of the articles, printed out some of the Dungeon adventures, and I've even run two of them - [I]Menace of the Icy Spire [/I]and [I]Heathen[/I]. By contrast I looked at some of the free 3e-era adventures on WotC's site but none ever seemed worth running. Overall I'd say that 4e era online Dragon & Dungeon were of some use to me, but nothing like my personal golden age for Dragon which was 136 to ca 180 or so. But I was young, there was no Internet, and you can't go back. :) [/QUOTE]
