[QUOTE="Grantypants, post: 8716078, member: 6917406"] I'd love to see a proper 5e magazine take the place of [I]Dragon+[/I]. For me, [I]Dragon+[/I] was rarely much more than ads for WotC's upcoming products. Not that I mind getting ads, especially in a free app, but it wasn't ever anything I cared about strongly. What I'd really like to see is thick, physical magazines with mostly table-usable content and that are published regularly, like the old [I]Dragon [/I]and [I]Dungeon [/I]magazines. I recognize that the economics of magazine publishing have changed dramatically since those days, so it might not make financial sense to do it that way anymore. Writers, artists, editors, layout, printing, and distribution are all expensive, and advertisers don't want to buy print ads anymore. There's just something about a printed magazine though that's really satisfying to use. And there are third parties that have found a way to make it work to some extent. Kobold Press and MCDM have Patreons for [I]Warlock [/I]and [I]Arcadia[/I], in PDF with limited print options. And Lion Forge had a great thing going with [I]Rolled And Told[/I], using comic book distribution for a hybrid comic book/adventure compilation. (Of course, Lion Forge/Oni Press has their own huge problems now, so they're maybe not the best example.) [/QUOTE]
