[QUOTE="Jesse Decker, post: 220829, member: 742"] There's a good deal of useful material in #297, including suggestions on ways to use the epic material even if you're not using the ELH. Even if you work as hard as possible to close your mind to the epic material, there are 8 new races, a new prestige class by Monte Cook, an FR story, a new monster template (nether creatures), new chainmail scenarios, and a prestige class in the Living Greyhawk section. Plus there's a free poster map. Like some of the other more focused issues (like the psionics or the strongholds issues) the material is undeniably easier to use if you have the supplement, but there's a lot of useful stuff there regardless. Now, let's hear suggestions. Imagine a supplement like the Epic Level Handbook is approaching and there's an opportunity to support it with an issue of Dragon. You want the content to do three things -- give readers who aren't sure about the product a way to try the material first, offer those who buy it some cool additional material, and keep those who aren't super keen on the idea behind the supplement from kicking you in the spleen. What kind of material do you want to see? How much? How soon before or how long after? [/QUOTE]
