[QUOTE="GQuail, post: 3140564, member: 30709"] The vibe I got from earlier posts is that they can only get votes on an article being good or bad when it's published. They haven't done such a big non-RPG ad in this Dragon lifetime, so it's a test into uncharted territory: and as the comments seem to indicate, it's not without it's criticisms. However, they DO know what people think of Silicone Sorcery, and it's clearly not a strong point. I certainly never used anything from it in the past, and while Novel Approaches have sometimes been to my liking, it's often depending on my familiarity on the source material - Dune and the Black Cauldron were great, whereas I can't remember another I found cool. (Chocobos had their moments, I guess. ;-) I guess too many people looked at them as "only interesting if you know the original game" and so it got lobbed? As others have said, I buy Dragon for D&D stuff, and two solid pages on a computer game ain't what I pay the cover price for. but considering the nature of the game (one of the most popular computer game series ever) and that it has some clear connections to RPGs, I'm willing to let it slide. But would I rather see Twilight Princess complete with Epona and Master Sword stats? Yeah. I'm willing to let this sort of article in every so often, as two dead pages is acceptable to me. Hell, if that's all I'm not using in the magazine, then it's a damn fine issue. B ut I agree with others that it's not, and enever will be, what I buy dragon for. [/QUOTE]
