Unfortunately, that "Monster Slayers" PDF is GAWD-AWFUL. Any of the "pony" games linked above are likely a kabillion percent better. http://ragingowlbear.blogspot.com/2015/06/dnd-you-know-for-kids.html

I flew in, so for me getting downtown was tantamount for my experience (and I found some roomies to share). However, there were some hotel rooms (outside of the Gen Con housing block) that were only about $350 for Thu-Sun about 6 miles out (Yes! $350 TOTAL... and not all of them flea bags...

The wording is little a bit off. There was 9% growth this year, but in prior years, the growth has bounced between 10% to 20% depending on the year... So the average rate of growth has been more than 9% over the last 5 years. 2010 - 30,000 2011 - 36,700 2012 - 41,000 2013 - 49,000 2014 - 56,600...

Yeah, the hard covers are a little ridiculously priced. I got a softcover for something like $8, but the spine graphic didn't line up even after I excessively tweaked it as much as I could.

Because it's the right thing to do for the consumer? If I'm playing those campaigns with Basic, wouldn't it be easier to house all the monsters together instead of spread across 3 to 4 PDFs? Wouldn't it be better to have all the spells together instead of spread across 3 or 4 PDFs? Are you...

I gladly paid money during the 4e version when Dragon and Dungeon were PDFs with lots of really great 4th edition content. I'm not pining away for a paper magazine, because I understand the cost/profit ratio (though I have purchased some issues of Gygax). But after they discontinued the 4e...

Heck, one could take this even further. Compare Dragon+ with literally the worst issue one might find over in its entire 300+ issue history and you'd probably find more usable 5e content in that issue than in all of Dragon+.

Well, #$%* me with a sharp spoon. Wizards went an updated the Basic PDF rules this week. AND IT WASN'T EVEN MENTIONED IN DRAGON+... What the hell is wrong with their social media team that this wasn't all over the Dragon+ feed? Instead we get pictures of "Snowball". (sigh) EDIT: Ahh... now...

(sigh) No, I was giving an example of reputation management. And then I stated that essentially it's not worthwhile to pay someone to bash another's product when money is better spent polishing one's own image (i.e. - that a person posing as a positive astroturfer is much more likely occurrence...

Nailed it. EDIT: Damn, I really wish I had thought of this first. ;)

I wasn't defending the accusation. I was merely pointing out, that your criticism of his original post was not applicable because he wasn't criticizing the other user's low post count. He was laying out what he thought was evidence that there was someone pretending to be a consumer who was not...

In my perfect world, a digital Dragon magazine would be available in a number of formats. I actually came to really like the 4e PDF Dragon and Dungeon issues. At first, the odd landscape layout annoyed me (I often forgot to print landscape), but as I perused more of the PDFs on mobile devices...

Positive astroturfing is a very commonly paid practice for a business. Reputation.com isn't the only big league player in this industry (just the most well known). It's a multi-billion dollar industry because large companies (even one like Hasbro) do use these methods. Unless you are a...

He wasn't harping on the person for having a low post count. He was making the assumption that the low post count (in addition to the inferred cheerleading) might be evidence of astroturfing (like a Reputation.com poster or WotC employee). I don't agree that it was astroturfing, but the...

If that were actually the case, the app would be waaaaay better than it is. I'd love to see articles like Arcana Unearthed show up in the "magazine" I have to disagree here. I found the 4e Dragon to be pretty good. Not quite as good as the 2e era printed version, but pretty darn good. Even the...

Except that those people will never download the app. If I'm not well-informed about D&D, I'm not going to know that there's a "Dragon+" app that has anything to do with D&D. Which means, the ONLY people who are downloading this app are people who already know about these things because they...

1 out of 5 rating for DRAGON+ #2 Who know what's going on with this update, but the app is horrendously unstable. Freezes constantly requiring a force quit action (double-click the home button on iPad/iPhone). As for content, it's about on par with Issue #1 except there isn't a single useful...

2 out of 5 rating for DRAGON+ #1 A full review is posted at my blog (see links), but I will summarize here. Issue #1 is advertising content from one end to the other. The few "feature" articles serve as advertising in disguise. The amount of gaming content gotten from Issue #1 is extremely...

Full review now available... The owlbear is pretty angry today. http://ragingowlbear.blogspot.com/2015/06/dragon-issue-2-review-spoiler-alert.html

App consistently locking up on me after "Checking for updates" step in iOS (both iPhone and iPad). There's a serious bug that strikes whenever it tries to update itself. After an app restart, I usually can peruse the content, but overall it's a severe disappointment (still). Even the newsfeed...
