Blasts from the past: original jester class and Kim Mohan interview

I have to agree that this being the case, it is not a magazine.

How difficult is it to compile a multi-page pdf, for goodness sake?

Apparently, it is nigh-impossible.

Who needs the article when I still have the issue and have it on PDF. I got an entire run of Dragon from issue #1 through issue #250 on PDF from AD&D Core Rules program.

Plus, there were so many articles that were far better (in my opinion). What a shame that they did not use one of them.

 

[Dannager]

However this is not the 400th issue of Dragon. Dragon Issues ended sometime around 2008. It is simply a collection of digital information.

And what you call Dragon is simply a collection of ink on paper.

We get it. You're super bitter and you want everyone to know.

It's okay, over the course of the month they'll be posting Gygax's Dragonchess article, Ed Greenwood's Nine Hells article, Moore's Tucker's Kobolds article, and a few others. So you'll have plenty more chances to say "Eh, I've had better," while secretly thinking that those are actually some pretty good choices.

At least it was, ya know, collected.

That is not a plus in my book. When information is presented digitally and the easiest way to access information you are looking for is via search or bookmark, collecting everything into a single large file doesn't accomplish anything but forcing me to download 80 pages to get to the 6 pages I wanted.

But isn't that really more of an argument for making the individual articles available as well as the compiled issues, rather than instead of?

Right. And when you go into a magazine store, you must walk out with a stack of ripped out pages, right?

'Cause who wants all those useless pages around the articles you want to read?

Right. It's not really a periodical if it doesn't... uh... appear periodically.
