[QUOTE="Stormonu, post: 9167748, member: 52734"] Amusingly, this almost feels like a "Direct to DVD/VHS!" release - either not enough space in the book or not big enough to stand as it's own printed copy. During 3E, Dragon Magazine was constantly filled with articles that expanded, added or discussed the book releases for the month - sort of an ad/extra content thing. In some ways it was good, but started to feel like the broad content the old magazine was disappearing to be replaced with target content that was aimed at upping book sales. I don't mind getting more content, if it isn't something that feels was stripped out of the book to make more money as DLC-style content. Getting additional details on each faction would be excellent, and putting a small cost on the writer's work seems fair. But honestly, wasn't this sort of stuff dropped as a free PDF with or shortly after the book came out (even as recently as Spelljammer Academy for 5E, various PDFs for 3E) ? How times have changed.
