This is what a simple copy paste gives me:

d100 Item
1 An angry groundhog.
2 A spool of greasy, fouled rope used as dental floss.
3 A set of nesting dolls in the image of giants, carved of wood (hill), obsidian (stone), ivory (frost), steel (fire), silver (cloud), or coral (storm).
...

Isn't this what you wanted?

(You do need to use a web browser, you probably can't do this from an app)

I do look at it from the web. I've copy and pasted before, but can't with this issue.

I can't be sure why I can copy w/o issues, but try the RightToClick Firefox extension.

(I have a few extensions to get rid of internet annoyances, and this one is the only one I can think of that could be the one that solves this for me)

I use a Chromebook, so I can't use Firefox. Can't seen to find a Chrome extension to help.

BTW, for those of you wanting to print stuff, if you use the mobile app, you can email any article to your inbox and that emailed article is a pdf which you can cut and paste from. A bit kludgey but, it does work fine.

I reinstalled the app. I can't see how to email an article, but I was able to copy and share it to my email, so that is a workaround for me! Thanks!

Nope, no freebies this time.

As for saving the page from the web version of the magazine, if you use Firefox, right click on the page you want, select save page as, choose text file for the format to save as, and there you go. If may have a lot of extra text in there too, but when I did it, the Giant's Bag table was complete in the file.

Chrome (at least on desktop) has a built-in capability to print to PDF, if that helps.

For those wanting to email from the app, touch the screen to bring up the share menu in the top right of your screen. Touch the Share icon and the touch Email. That will email a bit.ly link and you can click to bring that up in a browser. Again, kludgey but it works easy enough.

The interview with Mike Schley includes several of his maps. One of them is for a town called Hochoch, with an inset map showing where it is in the Duchy of Geoff in Greyhawk. Does anyone know if this is a map from a 4th edition product or is this a sneak preview for a new product they slipped in?

I found it on Mike's site, here: http://prints.mikeschley.com/p530730153/h268fd5c4#h268fd5c4
I'm afraid that it's from 4E...
"The D&D city of Hochoch from the world of Greyhawk; published in issue #418 of Dragon Magazine to accompany the article Backdrop: Hochoch by Claudio Pozas. An archetypal fantasy city in isometric view."
