I wasn't trying to bash you in any way, shape or form. I think you know that.I am more keyed on the Dragon articles when I said that. I guess generalizing to avoid naming specific articles then jumps up and insults the articles that were good. Sorry about that. Truly the writing on those articles isn't really that poor either, I just feel it isn't up the standards set by Paizo for Dragon.I guess the big thing for me is that I don't think that WotC is showing anything that makes me excited and interested in the "Digital Initiative" or in Dragon/Dungeon online and the people I know that would normally be drooling over this, well, they simply aren't. I am pretty much an easy sell, I spend a lot of money on gaming materials, and when you include how much I get in comps, well, you get the idea. WotC just hasn't sold me on this. If they haven't convinced ME to buy it, then there are a lot of people on the fence right now. If they want to get those people off the fence and getting ready to sign up, they need to set a firm release schedule, hold to it, and match Paizo's quality. In my opinion (take it for what it is worth), the managers at WotC should have KNOWN they didn't have the manpower to do this full strength and they should have hired the people required to get it done. This way people actually working like mad to get 4e out don't have to be distracted writing articles for Dragon. I agree that the people working on it are making a GREAT "online 'zine" but that isn't their goal. I think they simply don't have enough hours in the day to do the job they need to do on this and still work on everything else they are doing. They need more staff. Maybe they should hire Ari <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" /></blockquote>
