[QUOTE="Zaukrie, post: 2617512, member: 2057"] Erik and Mike, I want to thank you again for interacting with this community so closely. It helps you a lot, in my mind. I was really hoping for Sheen and the Sunset World articles in this one as well. As I said, I was surprised at the amount of crunch given Erik's comments about the direction he is taking Dragon, and the fact that many of the classic articles aren't crunch. On the other hand, I'm not sure how "generic" fluff would sell. If future volumes are more focused, then fluff makes more sense to the buyer. I'll make another request. I'll have to go home to look in my archives, but I think it was Collins that wrote some articles on non-standard castles/keeps/homes. Underground, in trees (maybe on that one) etc. that seemed like they would really be in a fantastic world. That would be great. (I'm sure I'll have to edit this post to get that right). Also, while pronuciation tables are nice (what does drow rhyme with?), I preferred the AKA article. No way the average person always describes a monster with its correct name. No way monsters are all known by the same name. That was an article that helped me a lot in the day. I won't know if I'm buying this for sure or not until I hold it, but I do appreciate that it is coming out. There is a treasure trove of stuff there. Oh yeah, bring back Richards style of ecology articles with the monster hunters, please (I'll ask almost every post I expect Erik to read - sorry). [/QUOTE]
