http://www.wizards.com/DnD/TOC.aspx?x=dnd/4new/drtoc/418I'm very proud to say I have a GREYHAWK article in this month's dragon, detailing a town in the Grand Duchy of Geoff that has been named, but never described, for 30 years!
Congratulations on the dungeon articial (yes I know its under the dragon title, but dragon stopped being dragon when they decided to stop putting player content in it and it became all dungeon artical like Eye on...Still congratulations, Its cool you published ;D.
 


AFAIK, the plan is for Dungeon to be just adventures, and for Dragon to be "everything that is not adventures", like the print magazines used to be.
 

Congrats, Claudio! You continue to carve your niche in modern D&D. I imagine you'll be right in there for years to come.


That said, and speaking to the thread topic, man I really wish I was happier with this last source of 4e support as it is. That has nothing to do with the freelancers, though, power to them for getting their stuff published. The product and magazine release schedules in general just rub me all the wrong ways. Per usual, things feel thin, anemic, fluffy, and non-nutritious (where is the actual, usable 4e content from Dragon... Flying Mounts was such a damned tease). Padding with rewards adventures in Dungeon leaves me cold, as well. Now had there been 3 adventures AND the Shrine, I'd feel a lot better. Then it's a real reward, a token of good will, a bonus. Maybe I'm crazy, but the current scenario feels almost negligent. Here, take the table scraps from last year and shut up because we made quota. And why can't there be something, anything, crunchy in the Eyes On?

Whoa, whoa, sorry about that. I needed some sort of catharsis after having looked over December in the Works, the Tables of Contents, the designer blogs, the backlogs, the news, and ads. This 'transition period' is the worst, particularly with it being a more like euthanasia for me.
 

The only thing I can say is: write an e-mail or post on WotC's forum, asking for the type of content you want to see? Me, I'd love to do a winter or autumn sentinel druid, or to expand on the tratnyr, and what differentiates it from a regular spear (come on, it's a longsword that you can throw as far as a longbow!), or to describe pantheon worship in the core D&D world.
 

Congrats Klaus. While I stopped subscribing, because I found the volume of content just not worth it anymore (and where are the really cool articles about gods and demons and archfey), especially on the Dungeon side, many of the articles still being published were well written. I just did not find it was enough for me anymore.
