[QUOTE="Alaric_Prympax, post: 3195484, member: 176"] From the News page- "D&D Insider Magazine, online magazine with new content updated daily, including: -Product Previews (articles showcasing upcoming D&D products) -Class Features (articles expanding existing character class options and debuting new character and prestige classes) -Strategy and Tactics (articles relating to D&D roleplaying combat and spellcasting, and to D&D Miniatures Skirmish play) -Design and Development (articles and columns exploring the many facets of the D&D experience, written by game designers in D&D R&D) -D&D Humor (comic strips devoted to the D&D experience)" Further down the page... "-Real-World D&D Search Engines (find D&D gamers, game stores, tournaments, and events in your area)" Could someone explain to me what of the above [I]Dragon[/I] doesn't cover? I've seen all of this material in [I]Dragon[/I] over the years in one form or another: -Product Previews- in every issue of [I]Dragon[/I], though not in article format -Class Features- in every issue of [I]Dragon[/I] -Strategy and Tactics- covered in articles in [I]Dragon[/I] -Design and Development- the editorals in every issue of [I]Dragon[/I] and an article every once in a while -D&D Humor- in every issue of [I]Dragon[/I] -Real-World D&D Search Engines- anyone else remember [I]Dragon[/I] having a list of conventions or am I just showing my age? Hasbro through WotC already did this in their magazine [I]Dragon[/I], but they sold them and now after a few years they decide to get back into the role playing magazine business. Will this lead to [I]Dragon[/I] being no longer 100% offical in a couple of years? It seems that Hasb... ah WotC already prevents Paizo from publishing products that would sell well- AoW Hardback to name just one. So far the only difference I see between [I]Dragon[/I] and the [I]D&D Insider Magazine[/I] is one is printed and the other is on a computer moniter. Or is Hasb... ah WotC really planning to hunt [I]Dragon[/I] into extinction. I don't know but somehow this just feels wrong to me that they had a magazine then sold it and now they plan on competing against what they didn't want (otherwise they would not have sold it). Why don't they just buy back [I]Dragon[/I] and then just make it avalible on-line? Maybe I'm being too critical, but I don't plan on subscribing till I hear some feedback on this which I'm confident that I'll be able to read somewhere here. [/QUOTE]
