[QUOTE="Priest_Sidran, post: 3480707, member: 30857"] Financially it would take clout to get a magazine as polished as Dragon, and Dungeon were. Restarting the Asgard Magazine (in print form) might be a nice start. Finding investors would be another great start. Equally finding the type of artist, and editorial staff would be a requirement. Only a few companies that exist now could handle a magazine of that nature, and I think that they would be making the moves to get it started, including letting us know that it was in the works. An OGL Only magazine is not as hard as some people are making it out to be. It might actually blossom due to the large amount of 3rd party publishers, Authors, and Artists who are looking for such work. As for the customers, being able to use the OGL material to write their own material would be far more appealing (to me) than having the content I write be Official. It would have to be a print magazine, and it would have to be a full color gloss, otherwise people would be let down by it. I could see it being functional, and I would even be willing to put some money into such a venture, should a company start taking the idea seriously.
