[QUOTE="Stormonu, post: 8240491, member: 52734"] To be honest, I wasn’t even aware of the existence of Dragon+ until this thread came up. And I think that’s the biggest problem. I’m aware of White Dwarf and even Kobold Quarterly. I used to have a subscription to Dungeon & Dragon and read them regularly. I had no awareness a form of Dragon had come back and I bet most other folk do not either. It doesn’t have a prominent presence like the old newsstand version did. Unfortunately, looking through the recent issues of Dragon +, I don’t see anything that really interests me, unlike the old run of Dragon (say, up to about 250). I don’t know if they could capture that old bottled lightning, but it would take a great deal more effort than they appear to be willing to put into it now. The old Dragon was a cornucopia of articles - beastaries and ecologies, game tools - classes, races, magic items, gear and whatnot, short fiction, research articles, campaign world in-depth dives and off-the-wall articles that‘d make you think about including things you wouldn’t normally consider in a D&D game. It would be a full time job to correlate and print that sort of material these days and with WotC/Hasbro just working with a barebones staff wouldn’t cut it. [/QUOTE]
