This fellow's critique mirrors my own opinion...  <a href="http://www.enworld.org/showpost.php?p=2099513&postcount=11" target="_blank">http://www.enworld.org/showpost.php?p=2099513&postcount=11</a> I like the historical bits, or characters and plots inspired by legend. Like I said, the Beowulf issue had plenty of meaty stuff in it. So much of the character stuff would only ever be allowed by Living Greyhawk it's of little or no use to me. No DM I play with would allow any of the feats, gear, spells etc. I just skim over those articles. That leaves me with the news features, comics, fiction and setting ideas. 330 was thin in usable material (yes,  I mean usable to me. Others mileage may vary, I'm well aware). Since I buy Dragon issue to issue, unless I find at least one attractive article, it's a no buy.  I'm loving Dungeon right now, and wish there were ongoing articles like Monte or Wil's in Dragon. Something I could bank on being interesting or useful every single issue, or even just fun to read. When that happens, consistently, I think I'll subscribe.  Did I mention the Beowulf issue was great? 'Cause it was. And the bit on Gilgamesh was a keeper, too. Issue 330 lacks anything as good as those, and 331 looks much the same.</blockquote>
