[QUOTE="Shade, post: 221259, member: 287"] Jesse, Please don't let a small vocal minority sway the course of Dragon. I think the magazine is fantastic. I used to subscribe back in the 1E days, and lost interest in the way they were running it. Since 3E, I've re-subscribed, and have been very satisfied with the way it is run. Now, I'll admit that I don't enjoy, or have use for, some of the content, mainly the short stories and the Chainmail material. But I wouldn't suggest that it be removed, because I know others find the material entertaining or useful. With the addition of the "In Your Campaign" sidebars, I've found more use for some of the things I'd normally gloss over (like this month's Chainmail article). I have been looking forward to the Epic Level Handbook for a long time. Had this month's issue not contained alot of epic-level material, I would have felt cheated. When the Psionics Handbook came out, I had no intention of buying it or using psionics in my campaign, but I was not bothered by the large amount of psionics content, for I knew that many other people are huge psionics fans. And I was still able to use some of the material, such as the githzerai information. To those of you who find one or two issues out of your subscription "useless", consider them bonus issues. The fact of the matter is that you are probably still paying less than what you would if you had bought all the issues at the newstand. (That's how I consider last year's April Fools issue). If you feal cheated because of this, then perhaps a subscription isn't the best idea for you. If you normally buy them on a newsstand, and feel the need to buy the issue only for one article, then you knew what you were getting into before the purchase. Unless it is an official update to the core rules, you don't "need" to buy the issue for one article. Keep up the good work, Jesse. [/QUOTE]
