I just don't believe the majority of DMs are using even half the Dungeon adventures, not really, so much as lifting pieces- and even then, how many aren't even downloading the PDFs? I bet it's a fair number. And when it comes to Dragon, I suspect the vast majority are utilizing its offerings via the Character Builder and Compendium, not the articles themselves. The anemic condition has forced, perhaps, a sizable chunk of the 4e population to simply create their own stuff. Truthfully, there's bloggers and posters on this very forum I consider to have a greater 4e system mastery than the current design team anyway, and I've always preferred my creative ideas to most others. With an edition which so readily serves reflavoring, homebrewing, and transparency, maybe they created something that doesn't much need them. I mean I don't NEED the content, I just WANT it very much.This kind of goes back to the idea that what I'm really paying for is the CB and Compendium, which by far are what I use the most. Still, that doesn't mean Dungeon and Dragon should be in the state they're in, not with the physical product schedule non-existent like it is. 4e has a short enough lifespan without being neglected the rest of the year into 2013.</blockquote>
