[QUOTE="tlantl, post: 3769633, member: 55225"] When third edition was coming I remember how every month Dragon magazine had teasers and little tidbits of information on the up coming game. Perhaps once these basically useless "preview" books are released we'll see more useful information (or the same stuff from the previews) from the magazine. With that said I realize that there are no more magazines. Just the misguided electronic thing that I will likely not be subscribing to. I never bought Dragon every month I usually thumbed through them to see if there was anything useful. I don't care for much of the junk published in dragon. I bought only the ones with decent content. Now that I would have to pay $10.00 a month for something that would be relatively useless to me, I don't plan on going there. As for usable content before the game launches, well we all know that the WotC people are in it for the money. Maybe not the people actually doing the work, but the corporate managers and the head of the division who are constantly under pressure to turn a very large profit. Things like previews are designed by the marketing people who's job it is to ensure that there uis a constant stream of cash flowing. Not by the developers who might be more inclined to actually give us something useful. I know that I wont be forking over $40.00 US for a bunch of essays and half way accurate information on something I'll have to wait half a year to actually use. [/QUOTE]
