Good day, gentlemen. Has anyone noticed a striking change in Dragon magazine?

[QUOTE="zug_zug, post: 970435, member: 12382"] LOL this thread cracks me up-but to the "critiques" of Dragon. Maybe Im an old fogey too, but the covers have seemed a bit busy. But such is the state of the modern youth mag, most mags for that matter. The art is often of a mixed quality, but looking back at the Dragon CDroms, it seems on par with what came before. Of a different type and perhaps appeallign to different demographic, but no "worse" (whatever the subjective term means.) I would like to see fiction from time to time but its not a big thing for me. I want more cartoons and Nodwick though :) On the other hand, I miss having a module in Dragon like the old days. I like/want more crunchy stuff. I dont want examples of cities through the ages- I want monsters. I'd like more 1 off minicampaign setting material like the Drow Vault from last year. IMHO, alot of issues in the recent past havent had alot of useable (to me at last) content. After Dragon went thru all the classes, feats,etc.. and changes for 3e, it seemed it ran out of steam content wise. I still think 3.5 is a conspiracy to give Dragon something to put in its pages :) I almost wouldnt mind a merge of Dragon/Dungeon or a Dragon/Polyhedron(or something else slanted to d20) in order to prevent the rehash of the old again and again. /shrug [/QUOTE]
