[QUOTE="JoeGKushner, post: 3892500, member: 1129"] In terms of Dragon not being able to do new game mechanics.... seems off the wall in some aspects. They could use this time period for several things. 1. Convert Now: Not a peak at how things are going to be, but ideas on how to take your 3rd ed game to 4th ed and including some mechanics for all core classes to give them daily abilities. A preview of sorts that would be useful to all people playing now. 2. Support For Game Products: Incarnum, Legacy Weapons, Shadow Magic, and all sorts of other options have had very little support. 3. Setting Support: We've seen a little of this but more of it would always be welcome. If Greyhawk is going for good as the default setting, I'd love to see more Core Belief Articles with lots of fluff that would be useful to any edition. 4. Bizzare of the Bazzar, Ecology of the..., Creature Catalog/Dragon's Bestiary.... etc... could play around with the formats and showcase. Ecology of the Death Knight had some potential but complete lack of goods and it's sneak peak at Dungeon made it less than perfect in myh opinion. 5. Reviews including board games, miniatures, etc... If Dragon is online and part of the DI and part of Gleemax that's trying to encourage ALL gaming, it's time to open the magazine up to other game systems even if it's just in reviews. [/QUOTE]
