Message: <blockquote data-quote="Oryan77" data-source="post: 1622888" data-attributes="member: 18701">I've never read any of the Dungeon Magazines or Dragon Magazines. I'm wondering how useful they are for a DM like myself. I'm always searching the net for new ideas to help better my games, DM'ing style, and game mechanics and I always hear people talking about these magazines. I've read their websites but I'm not sure if it's worth paying for a subscription based on what their own websites say about their product.Can you guys answer a few questions for me & tell me why I should or shouldn't buy these magazines?1. What's the difference between the Dungeon Magazines & Dragon Magazines and what kind of info do these magazines have in them each month?2. I assume they cover a wide range of D20 games. Is it worth my money & time reading them if I only run a 3.5 Planescape campaign with a little WOTC 3.5 Forgotten Realms setting thrown in? I'm not interested in Modern D20, Eberron, or any other campaign setting that isn't a WOTC product (don't want to spread myself too thin) so I don't want to buy a magazine that only has a tad bit of helpful info for me.3. What PC levels are they geared to mostly? I run a slow level progression game so I won't be interested in high level (13+) anytime soon. It won't do me much good reading info for higher level games.4. How different are these magazines each month? Would it be better for someone like me to just buy a magazine every couple of months from the bookstore instead of paying for a new one every month?5. Are they fun to read & what kind of visuals do they have?6. And last, what kind of information have you pulled from them and actually used in your games yourself?I know I should just skim through one at the bookstore, I just havn't had time to go check it out...maybe I can this weekend.Thanks for any advice!</blockquote>
