Everything Dragon (and the others) used to contain, is more conveniently delivered differently, online through digital media and the D&D community at-large. Sites like DriveThruRPG.com and DMsGuild.com provide just about everything Dragon did, and with a lot less work and expense on WotC's part. Reviews and commentary on the hobby are found in blogs and message boards (right here!).I really miss the good old days of a monthly Dragon Magazine, but it's not ever coming back in that form. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f641.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":(" title="Frown    :("  data-smilie="3"data-shortname=":(" />If WotC hired me to revitalize a new Dragon Magazine . . . I'd probably do something very similar to what Paizo does with the Pathfinder Monthly Adventure Path. Turn the monthly product from a magazine to a more structured gaming accessory. I would include relevant ads however, to bring down costs and to showcase other gaming companies in the D&D ecosystem. One or two adventures each month, sometimes connected in multi-adventure arcs (adventure paths), sometimes not. Articles expanding on the game, new player options, DM advice, perhaps pulled from "the best of" the DMsGuild and professionally edited and illustrated. It wouldn't have to be monthly, quarterly would be okay.I'd subscribe to that! It seems to work well for Paizo, although they don't have a behemoth corporate overlord to satisfy . . . .</blockquote>
