No Price Increase for Dragon Dragon's not going up in price. The price for issue #300 is the same as it's been since the release of 3rd edition. (OK, it went up by 4 cents somewhere in the last year, but that's it for price increases for a while.)

Although it doesn't specifically address every monster from MM2, Dragon #302 will have an article on summoning monsters by CR, including advice on creating custom summon monster lists for each spellcaster. I quite like the idea of individual spellcasters having unique summon lists, especially...

Don't Judge XCrawl by that Ad Don't judge Xcrawl by that ad. The ad looked fine on the proof that we saw in the office, there was just some kind of production glitch at the printers that screwed up the font. We're making things right with the XCrawl folks by giving them some free ad space (with...

Here's a quick list of the Paizo editors' schedules at GenCon. Hope to see you there. Jesse Decker (Dragon): --------------- THURSDAY 11:00-2:00 Paizo Booth 4:00-6:00 D&D at Epic & Deific Levels (WotC Seminar) 7:00-8:00 Paizo Publishing Seminar FRIDAY 8:00-10:00 What's a DM to Do (WotC...

Tattoos Tattoos are a cool idea for dwarves, but there was only so much room in Hammer & Helm, and I felt it better to concentrate on new things that other books weren't likely to have (like exotic armor, spell-channeling feats, and other ideas) than things like tattoos that have been seen in a...

If you have a problem with your subscription, please contact: dragon@pcspublink.com There is no change in shipping or fulfillment procedures because of the recent formation of Paizo. While I'm at it, here's the rest of the Dragon contact information: letters and simple magazine questions...

Dragon, Dungeon, and Polyhedron are also great places to get published.

"Paizo" is actually an acronym for "we have your computer tapped". Now that you know the secret though, a paizobot will be paying you a visit.

Thanks for the kind words Doug. Chris is right - it should be Craft (Armorsmithing). -Jesse Decker

Use the name you like. The names and intent sure seem different to me, and no one at Dragon's going to worry about you repeating the word "Ashen."

It doesn't exist yet. As soon as it's up, we'll make some kind of announcement.

Campaign Components The #299 knights content is a bit of an experiment. The occasional series that it kicks off is called "Campaign Components." These are big (10+ page) articles that show how you can add a certain theme (like knights, swashbuckling, etc.) to any campaign world. Once Paizo's...

I'm pretty sure an audit will happen now that we're with Paizo, but there are lots of other new-company oriented details to get to first.

Actually, you're both right - the 70,000 number at the top of the ownership statement in issue #290 is the number of copies printed. Go a little further down and you'll see total paid sales of just over 58,000. That's a little higher than the 56,000 that Samothdm got from the SRDS because the...

Two quick notes about the issue: The battle map is suitable for D&D as well as Chainmail play - there's a not-so-subtle pattern of dots that delineates the 1" grid. The tokens mentioned on the front page are actually printed on a regular magazine page, and they're meant to be photo copied...

Hey folks, There are lots of ideas floating around the office right now, and I'm particularly interested in thoughts and opinions on Dragon, but we're sorting out our new work areas and working to get issue #299 to the printers this week, so I appologize if I've missed a question or two...

It certainly seems like a promising new era to those of us working on the magazines. For those of you asking - all of the staff has been retained by the new company. Chris Thomasson will still head up Dungeon and Erik Mona will still run Polyhedron and the Living Greyhawk Journal. Living...

Sorry guys, the issue won't be double size, but there will be a cool insert that came about at least in some part because of comments on this board.

What makes a theme "overbearing?" Just so that no one takes this question the wrong way -- we work hard to give D&D players what they want to see, and the answer to this question matters to the editorial staff when we're planning future issues.

Dark elves are evil Dragon #298 stresses that drow are evil. It gives DMs tools to make drow (or any race, if you're flexible with the ideas presented) interesting villains, and it gives players tools to fight against them. I'm guessing that Robin Laws' "Secret Life of the Drow" might even make...
