[QUOTE="Dire Bare, post: 8718966, member: 18182"] I agree that WotC is unlikely to start up a revival of Dragon Magazine, in any format. But I think you're reading a bit much into my post. The appeal of a D&D magazine published by WotC (or under license) over Arcadia, Warlock, or the other D&D 5E magazines is the official stamp of approval. But that doesn't mean that those wanting such a beast need to see something in the same format as the original magazine. Times certainly have changed. You are right that the DMs Guild takes the place of one of the functions of the classic magazine, the gaming articles authored by the fans. You are also right that we don't need a magazine to give us the news and preview of upcoming D&D products . . . although WotC needs some improvement there IMO. What would a new magazine do? What would be a good format that would work? It would have to be a different beast than classic Dragon Magazine, and even Dragon+. The uncertainty is one of the reasons WotC won't likely go there, but I do think there is possibility in this space. Personally, I would love to see a magazine available both physically and digitally, catering to the hobby space rather than the supermarket magazine stands. It would be similar to Pathfinder Monthly, with an adventure and supporting articles. It could include content from the D&D staff, upgraded content from the DMs Guild (re-edited with new artwork), freelance articles, articles with new content, articles supporting D&D releases and settings. Heck, I'd put the digital version of the mag on the DMs Guild website. Would this type of format be successful enough for WotC to invest in it? Maybe, maybe not. I'd dig it though. [/QUOTE]
