Message: <blockquote data-quote="Simplicity" data-source="post: 1623002" data-attributes="member: 1496">Dungeon basically contains pre-made adventures.  It's very useful forany DM.Dragon contains WotC previews, prestige classes, spells, some fiction...I'm a little less enthused about Dragon, personally, but it does occasionallyhave some good "fluff" for creating your own adventures. Currently about 1/4 of Dungeon magazine is Polyhedron, which covers other D20 games.  The complete D20 coverage is going away after this coming issue, however.  The two magazines are going to support only D&D very soon.  If you're running planescape/FR then pretty much everything in both magazines applies to you.  The last Dragon had info on the positive energy plane, I believe...  The newest Dungeon coming out has a 8 or 9th level FR adventure in it.They're well-balanced to be applicable at any level.  Dungeon makes sure to have low level, mid level, and high level adventures (though a bit more low level adventures than high level... as you'd expect)...  And each adventure has a scaling chart in it to make the adventure apply for slightly higher levels.Well, the content is 100% different every month...  But it's a matter of taste.Personally, I don't have a subscription, but then again I wind up buying Dungeon every single month because the adventures in it are so interesting.Both are illustrated very well, and both have some pretty good comics...Full-color illustrations... full-color maps... glossy pages...  I think they're fun to read.I usually pull interesting monsters from Dragon.  Other than that, I tend not to pull much from Dragon (Though their preview articles are interestingreads sometimes).I have pulled entire campaigns from Dungeon...  Maps of Mystery are greatstarting points for developing a dungeon for my own campaign.</blockquote>
