[QUOTE="der_kluge, post: 1386038, member: 945"] Ok, I'll admit that I am a mere "casual" reader of Dragon magazine. I have a few back issues, and I do own the CD, but I have only really browsed it occasionally. The only two articles that I could think of (and one was mentioned - once) are the following: The article that details adventure hooks for things that you might pick-pocket from someone's pocket. Interesting article. The other article that I can recall really enjoying, wasn't really an article at all - it was the cardboard cutouts for the Deck of Many Things. Wish I had those in their original form. Now, to be honest, most of my Dragon's nowadays, I give a cursory glance to, and toss aside. They don't really speak to me. I've stopped being impressed by rules and "cool" things like I was when I was 16. I'm looking for ideas now; something to inspire me. That said, I would like Dragon magazine to speak to me, as a gamer. I'd like to see Dragon become more of a gamer's magazine, rather than a WoTC magazine. I want more reader mail, more reviews, more feedback from gamers like me. Articles about the meta-game - finding gamers, resolving gamer conflicts, that kind of thing. How about an issue of nothing but reader mail describing their campaign settings, and the campaign that they are currently running? How about issues of the 2-10th entries in the campaign setting contest? How about Dragon actually recognize and legitimize the d20 community, and interview talented, yet no-name authors of some of the better d20 products in the community. How about actual reviews of said d20 products? I don't need info on the Forgotten Realms, and I care not for Dark Sun. I don't read fiction in Dragon, and for the love of god, I don't need new core classes or even Prestige Classes. I haven't played even 2% of the stuff that is already available to me. I like the editorials by Gygax, and I like the sage advice, and the fan mail, and you know what, I generally just gloss over the rest and ignore most of it, frankly. [/QUOTE]
