D&D 5E Dragon/Dungeon Magazines?

[VorpalBunny]

I don't know if I missed it in a previous thread, but has there been any scuttlebutt about when Dragon and Dungeon mags will make their reappearance?

 

[Shroomy]

There hasn't been an announcement yet.

Are the old issues worth getting?

Depends which edition you're playing. There's great stuff for 1E through 4E, but nothing for 5E yet.

 

[Shroomy]

Are the old issues worth getting?

Definitely. There's hundreds of good adventures within it's pages and even if you don't want to adapt them, they're filled with tons of great stuff you can yoink for your own game.

 

[VorpalBunny]

Yeah, what Shroomy said.

Should be easily adaptable to 5e and worth their weight in gold to mine for ideas. Personally, I think Paizo's run alone has enough stuff to keep a campaign running for years.

Every issue of Dungeon is worth getting. Dragon is much more variable, with earlier issues being more generally useful and later ones being more edition-dependent.

I actually usually have the opposite approach; I made extensive use of Dragon but I usually skipped over Dungeon since it was mostly adventures, which is good and all but not what I was interested in content-wise (since I generally engineer my own adventures).

Old dungeons espicially for 1st and Paizo era 3rd ed are very good. 2nd ed has a few campaign specific adventures set on various world and 4E the quality took a nose dive even when you try and mine them for maps.

As a writer for 4e Dungeon I have to disagree; while I think there was a bit of an initial dip, by 2009-2010 the magazine was regularly producing high quality adventures.
