[QUOTE="Erik Mona, post: 1484884, member: 2174"] Thanks for the kind words, Jay. I generally try to avoid reprinting stuff from Dragon in my magazine. It's not fair to assume that my readers have that old material, and reprinting stuff a good chunk of my readers already have isn't always the best use of the space. The notes idea is an interesting one, but I think I'd rather see it as some kind of pdf you could download from our site and print out on index-card sheets of paper. That way, you could fill in all of the info yourself, and keep a little reference catalogue of Dungeon adventures you'd like to run in the future. The cards could have a space for issue number to help you grab the correct magazine from your collection. Back in the day, I used to write in my magazines and modules. My copy of Queen of the Spiders, one of the most valuable superadventures in the history of D&D, has the hit point totals of about half of the bad guys crossed out in pencil. Between then and now, however, I've become a bibliophile who can't imagine defacing his books or magazines. Based on several threads and letters, however, a lot of readers would prefer to be able to scribble notes in the magazine's margins and perhaps put big "X" marks over the faces of enemies slain by the party. :) There's a basic emotional value to that sort of thing, to be sure. My ears are always open to people with suggestions for how we might improve the magazine. Thanks for starting this thread. I hope lots of other folks will pop in with their suggestions, too. --Erik Mona Editor-in-Chief Dungeon Magazine [/QUOTE]
