[QUOTE="der_kluge, post: 966855, member: 945"] You know, I guess I would challenge any who think Dragon is bad, to list out what they think they'd do to fix it. So, Zogg, if Paizo made you editor of Dragon tomorrow, what steps would you take to ensure that Dragon returned to its former glory? I mean, you claim you hate the magazine, now offer solutions on what needs to be changed. As a side note, I've always been really fond of this cover: [url]http://www.rpgunited.com/mag/dm174.html[/url] One of the best covers, ever, IMHO. I think Zogg, in his not so politically correct approach, points out that some people don't like the magazine. It's not a new discussion, just a more abrupt one. Turning inward, I find that I don't care much for Dragon myself, though I have a subscription to it. I'm afraid to let the subscription lapse, since I'm still holding on to that thread of hope that some issue, at some point will actually have something in it that I find useful. It hasn't happened yet. I usually read each new issue in about an hours time, and then toss them aside. I get zero use from all the crunchy bits for one of three reasons: I don't like them, it's not OGC, and it's not campaign independent. In terms of crunchy bits - fix those problems, and I'll probably be more excited about some of the crunchy bits. That said, I do like the GM discussion articles, the Sage Advice, and even Gary's article. I would like to see more meta-game discussions, and maybe articles from the writers about the creation process, and why they chose to do certain things over other things. I think those things would make it more worthwhile. [/QUOTE]
