D&D 5E Are you currently happy with Dragon+?

OT but corpsetaker was curious...

I see Zazzle has custom binders, could it be used as a source for EN5ider and TRAILseeker article binders?

They've had adventures for the last two (of four) months.

I meant when the first included an adventure. The author in an interview said he was surprised it was included, he had no warning. I've heard from others that it was a surprise as well. A welcome one.

you're going to have to point that out. cite. The article doesn't attribute those words directly to wotc.

In fairness, Chris Perkins does say "Dragon+ is a digital descendant of a much older print publication called Dragon magazine" in his intro to issue #1.

Edit: even better, from Matt Chapman, in his "Letter from the Editor" in issue #1: "If I'd told my younger self I'd one day be editing the successor to Dragon magazine, which my friends and I used to pore over, I'm not sure I'd have believed you."

I think it's a terrible approach. They should do Dragon (including Dungeon/adventures) as a free webzine with HTML articles. HTML is the way of the future, man - even 'The American Conservative' went HTML years
ago!

Edit: If they wanted to make money it could be advertiser supported, by games stores & other
publishers as well as by WoTC. There seems to be a big taboo these days
against allowing other companies' TMs to appear in your in-house magazines though, not sure why but it's done a lot of harm to the RPG games industry.

With all things being considered I still prefer PDF.

I prefer the pdf format as well.

If WotC is going to release an app, then that app needs to do more than just ape the WotC website, which is a platform capable of delivering all the content they are placing on their app.

The app needs to be a tool worth using, not something that leaves me wondering why I am using up memory on my smartphone for an app that behaves like a slow, clunky web browser that only delivers WotC content.

Aha! My spidey-senses detect a person who does not read the news page! Just this week --

Mistwell, I'm aware of that news item, thanks.

Thanks for that Delericho.

Well at least IMHO it got better with each issue. Just downloading the December issue and keeping my fingers crossed that the trend continues, in this case we could have a very nice e-zine by this time next year
