[QUOTE="Kepli Sire, post: 4100390, member: 36815"] cdenham over at [URL=http://www.dundjinni.com/forums/forum_posts.asp?TID=9986&PN=1&TPN=5]Dundjinni[/URL] posted a very nice review on Dragon Roots issue #0. Since his account on here is giving him problems, he asked someone else to post it ... so here it is ;) [B]cdenham[/B] My additional 2 cents on the magazine - Loved the layout! It looks to be very professionally done. I have to admit that I went in a bit skeptical and have to admit I very happily surprised. Before I comment on the remainder I think I have to throw my one negative in because it will explain my thoughts on the rest of the magazine. From the name I thought it would be a bit of a throw back to D&D's roots as well. I see that it was your goal to go back to the old style of Dragon magazine. On that basis, you did a really great job. I believe this misunderstanding was entirely my fault. Artwork - great! You might want to note it for more mature players. Maps - great! Of course, with Kepli working on them what else would you expect. What's Your Story? - A very handy article and is something I intend to tweak slightly for use with the older rules. Be Thee for Law or Chaos - Another very good, handy article regardless of which version you use. 4th Edition Queries - My favorite article!

Are the initial issues going to follow this same trend of the articles advancing slightly in level with each issue? A Day at the Fair - an interesting idea for a module and the whole Zero to Hero concept is the main reason I'm seriously considering a subscription. I love the way you use the module to teach the basics of the game as well. (And a new monster to boot!) Overall, 4.5 out of 5! [/QUOTE]
