[QUOTE="Echohawk, post: 4775829, member: 9849"] The answeris "very much so" for one of my gaming groups (just the 4e one), but only because Dragon and the Character Builder are part of the same package. Three of my players have subscribed to the DDI purely to get access to the excellent Character Builder. These are not people who would ever have subscribed to Dragon in print. Nor, in truth, do they currently [i]read[/i] Dragon articles, unless a power or a feat that pops up in the CB comes from one of those articles. if Dragon becomes clearly more player-centric, I can definitely see these folks reading more magazine articles, and thus getting more value for their current DDI subscription. If the eventual plan is to move to a tiered pricing structure for DDI, where the tools (Character Builder/Campaign Tools) and the other content (Dragon/Dungeon/Compendium) are sold separately, now is a good time to get DDI subscribers who are primarily players hooked on the other content. Keeping up the current tight integration between the digital content and the tools will also help. [/QUOTE]
