[QUOTE="The Sigil, post: 1351852, member: 2013"] I'll relate the stuff I liked from the 3e Dragons before I let my subscription lapse (due to differences of opinion with Paizon about the direction of Dragon, especially as it related to the printing of certain four-letter words - but that's neither here nor there)... just a few thoughts off the top of my head... I suppose it would be difficult to do again, but I enjoyed the "Design a Feat" and "Design a Monster" articles. I enjoyed the "Rays of Light" article... not so much for the spells, but for expanding what can be done with Rays. Basically, I enjoy things that don't so much introduce "kewl new spellz and featz" so much as take an existing theme and play with it for a while. Also, I *loved* the "Just Give Me Money" article from way way back. Anything that helps add realism to "orc and pie" adventures is welcome. Things that DON'T float my boat... "mad-lib table articles" (you are a TABLE A from TABLE B who wants to TABLE C with TABLE D)... non-game-related fiction (can't STAND it - Dragon is an RPG magazine, not a fantasy fiction magazine)... anything to do with Drow... "Matching Dragon's Theme to WotC's Latest Release And Making It a $7 Advertisement For the Release" Basically, give me stuff that will be fresh and relevant *to my gaming sessions* three months from now. --The Sigil [/QUOTE]
