[QUOTE="vagabundo, post: 5306700, member: 55864"] I remember someone doing a break down of the authors that have come in print since the mags went digital. They were all, pretty much, mostly insiders - including some former WotC employees and a handful of freelancers who are known quantities. I think they're was a dash of new authors that have been published - I think I seen a new name in this months mags. I find it hard to believe this is caused by a lack of submissions or a lack of quality. I think it is an understaffed editorial/layout team. They pick in-house stuff first and then the known freelancers and there is very little space left for the rest. I wish they would invest more in the mags. I enjoy my sub for a few different reasons and am happy to support the DND brand with a couple of quid per month, but if I had to cut something then the mags would be on shaky ground. They are not giving me value for money. It is a shame, because I love 4e - best DND ever IMO - but the limited pool authors shows. Also, Layout: I enjoy the readability and appreciate that people like to print out the mags and that complicated layout can waste ink, but I miss some of the article specific layouts, they added to my enjoyment of the article - I've been going through some of my old Savage Tide issues for a 4e conversion.
