[QUOTE="Alzrius, post: 3874523, member: 8461"] The new incarnations of the magazines weren't that bad, but weren't that great either. I missed several of the old [i]Dragon[/i] staples, such as Class Acts, Bazaar of the Bizarre, and the comics, among other things. Still, the main articles were very nicely done, so they got the central parts of the "magazine" done right. The [i]Dungeon[/i] wasn't so bad, as it had a nice classic mega-adventure, as well as a nice [i]Eberron[/i] adventure that seamlessly blended in with two previous installments. The Map of Mystery was a plus also. Still, I found myself missing the smaller articles - The Campaign, The Cast, Critical Threats, etc. - more than I thought I would. I don't ask myself if I'd have bought these issues or not, since I've always just subscribed. Still, it seems like so far the WotC guys have the main articles for each magazine down pretty thoroughly, but need to work on the smaller support articles more. The one thing I really didn't like was how the [i]Dungeon[/i] adventures now have their encounters listed separately, in the "Expedition" style. I really can't stand that, and wish they'd place the encounters as they occur in the magazine, and not on separate pages. [/QUOTE]
