Dragon/Dungeon Survey Online

[Jefe Bergenstein]

Fluff hater.

Would you also like them to abandon English and use L33T? Much closer to crunch-speech.

I like fluff thats tied to mechanics and interesting. The ecology sections are great (I miss them a LOT from 2nd edtiion MM entries), the demonomicron, the campaign backgrounds etc are great. I've got tons of rules, good fluff helps me flesh out a game, and is always welcome. The crappy stories are well... crappy, and dont give me enough of the information I want. Even if they coincidentally deal with a topic (say, they encounter a monster I'm wanting to read an ecology on), I might learn one tidbit, but not how their society works, how they think of other races, their life cycle, etc. I dont even consider it fluff.

I responded a week ago and thought the survey was very good. Lots of specifics on the content of the magazines (I'm a regular Dungeon reader but only get a few issues of Dragon a year). I hope this helps Mr Mona and the editorial team make a better magazine (and I already think Dungeon is fantastic and Dragon has moved up to very good, imo).

Well, considering there are huge swaths of the survey that I had to answer "I don't know" because I haven't actually read either magazine in over a year, I am not sure it is going to help them. Now, if they had a section for comments and suggestions...

sure it is. it means that you and those like you aren't being enticed into reading them. it makes a statement.

I like that I was specifically queried on my thoughts on Downer. Heh.

Too bad there's no option for "Erik is pretty awesome" and "Bring back d20 mini-games!"

I wanted an option for 'Bring back the proper Ecology articles: I want Buntleby of the Western Grove & co', but it wasn't their.

So I just had to give the current Ecology articles a bad mark which wasn't really what I wanted to say. They're not that bad, they're just a shadow of their former selves.

Done. Dang, but that was a long survey. And it really pointed out a lot of differences between me and most of the world. I had to keep clicking "Nope, not me" to a ton of stuff.

Me too.

Maybe, and maybe not. What it indicates is that you're different from the assumed reader that they had in mind when they wrote the survey.

If the "nope, not me" respondents wind up only being a few percent of the respondents, then, yeah, you're an outlier in their reader base. But, if they wind up being a significant minority, then that, alone, should tell Paizo something.

What is with these questions: What video game companies do you support?

Support? I don't care who publishes the video game. I care that the game is good. I had to mark other because even when I buy their products, I do not do so to support them.

And I wish I could remember the dungeon adventures from their titles. I have to say don't know to most of them because the title did not sparke my memory. A bit of description would have been nice.

Everytime I hit finish is says it can't find Paizo.com. I hope I don't have to do it again.

You could always post something on their message boards.

I like surveys!

But I don't like having to sign in to take one.
