Message: <blockquote data-quote="Sketchpad" data-source="post: 914188" data-attributes="member: 9168">I'm part of the rare encampment of using both Dungeon & Poly ... and honestly I don't completely know where all the aggression is coming from.  Are we getting adventures?  Yup.  Are we getting extra info for other games?  Yup.  Now I can hear it already "I only care about D&D" and that's great <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />  But, first off, the magazine isn't made for just D&D.  Secondly, we get D&D every month now ... which is better than waiting every other month.  Sure, it's less content every other month, but in some ways, how's that different then what we had before?  I mean, honestly gang, if you want a magazine bi-monthly that concentrates on D&D, just buy the mag every other month. I love the new format personally.  The extra d20 Modern info and Star Wars info is great!  I've been hoping they'd do something to support the Star Wars game more since Star Wars Gamer bit the dust, and finally I got some <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />  And the funny thing is, I know I'm not alone in this.  I realize that the bulk of the people here are strictly D&D players, but to be honest folks, there are more players out there ... and Dragon is all D&D.  For those long-time collectors, perhaps you remember Dragon's Ares section?  It used to have sci-fi/superhero rules in it ... and people didn't complain about that ... in fact, there were some issues that gulped up a horde of the magazine with lilttle D&D content ... and people didn't complain about that either <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />  I commend Chris & Johnny for giving us the info and responding to a thread about their great magazine.  And as far as the art heavy content of Dungeon, and Dragon for that matter, I love it.  Speaking as a Graphic Designer, I find the layout and graphics to be appealing and interesting, giving the magazine a unique feel.  Sure, Dungeon & Dragon aren't Time or Newsweek ... but in some ways they are ... they're the lead trade magazines for the role-playing community.  For many years they've been an example and showcase for other companies, indie writers and freelance artists.  That's something that shouldn't be forgotten easily <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" /></blockquote>
