D&D General How would your perfect D&D magazine look like?

[M_Natas]

I was looking trough older dungeon Magazinen and was a little sad, that there is no real 5e Magazine (that I know off) today, that you can buy (Except the UK one which seems is only useful to get cheap dice and maybe for total beginners).

So if you could wish a new 5e Magazine into existence, how would it look like?

Mine would have a lot content:

• at least one small adventure
• a solo/cyoa adventure
• a short story
• an essay with advice for dungeon Master's
• an essay with advice for players
• player options
• rules options
• magic items
• interviews with content creators
• an advice column

I created a mockup of what my perfect Magazine could look like (contentwise, the design is very rough):

There is so much content out right now, including magazines.
It is overwhelming (for me at least).
I cannot even manage the thread explosion on here.

So wouldn't a magazine that Filters out the best content be something that helps you?

I'm not sure it works that way. Who is the arbiter of the best content and that would mean one would have to subscribe to everything else and reproduce it for a fee and that is illegal likely for the original creators of that content.
Unless ofc this magazine acts as a catalogue of the best quality content.

As a DM I source my stuff from DMs Guild for specific storyline content (APs).
I check on some monster stuff (additional legendary actions, lair actions, expanded monster manuals...etc) + peripheral (herbalism, alchemy) and maybe a few hardcore ideas. I generally ignore the rest, cause I have to - there is just too much. I did for a good few years subscribe to En5ider and that had some pretty decent ideas.

Thankfully I'm not interested in player content.

Wouldn't be complete without a centerfold

Could put a foldable battlemap in there too in there. With nice mountains, a wet river running between two shores, the forest cut down to give a nice view on a Mountain, where the river starts. Rolfs that curve nicely trough the country side ...

A centerfold map is a nice idea!

I would buy for new PC species, monsters and some class ( I mean 20 levels, not a subclass).
