[QUOTE="Jester David, post: 7698077, member: 37579"] Dragon+ was only part of your comment. You did say that: And posting links to 2-3 quality products on the official site is certainly that. Also, Dragon+ isn't the same thing as Dragon Magazine. Dragon+ is not a source of game content: it's a marketing tool and news aggregate, albeit one with a familiar name. There's no revenue for Dragon+, no subscription process or way for people to pay money for it, and its budget is likely tiny. It's a newsletter. There's also no advantage in taking content off the DMs Guild and giving it away for free on Dragon+. It's not like there's a wider audience. It'd be just as easy to highlight/advertise products on Dragon+ with links. Selling the rights doesn't seem very advantageous for the author either. A long-term best seller might conceivably generate more money than a one-time payment from WotC, even at old Dragon rates.
