[QUOTE="Ketjak, post: 1546320, member: 1083"] [b]Thumbs... neutral[/b] On Dragon Pfft. Who cares? I stopped subscribing to Dragon Magazine more than a year ago. The new classes (several per issue), feats, races, and so on ad nauseum - along with stupid Forgotten Realms junk (junk that's not only useless, it's [i]stupid[/i]), predictable stories, and six-month-long countdowns to the next big Wizards product - were more than I could tolerate. Sayonara, Dragon, and these changes just underscore my decision. On Dungeon I have been happy with Dungeon as it is. Then again, I liked Polyhedron... On Polyhedron I only resubscribed to Dungeon this year after a wonderful customer service experience and because Polyhedron was included. I never use the adventures, rarely read more than the summary, and have not used a Critical Threat. Polyhedron, on the other hand, is read from cover to cover, every word. It's [i]interesting.[/i] Dungeon sans Polyhedron will have [u][i]one[/i][/u] issue to impress me. Even then, the moment I detect more suck than good I'm out. Perhaps Wil Wheaton will keep me on board, and the Dungeoncraft articles shifting here might lend a hand in terms of retention. But they better be freakin' gold to the experienced DM, or I go with Polyhedron. On Wil Wheaton The guy was jacked by unfriendly script writers and directors. He's a good man, the best man I've ever gotten to "know" by his web log. It's not the whining self-aggrandizement you find from most other blogs, including/especially those written by people in the game industry. Wil, I hope they publish your best the first time out... otherwise I'll find another way to read your columns without wasting my money on Dungeon. - Ketjak, Breaking his vow never to post again to protest this change to Dungeon.
