[QUOTE="ivocaliban, post: 3250986, member: 17596"] Glad to have been of help, Mr. Beef. I was just thinking that, instead of a subscription you might want to shop for some back issues at [URL=http://www.paizo.com]www.paizo.com[/URL]. Like I mentioned before, I don't have a subscription to either magazine, but I buy a few issues of [I]Dragon[/I] every year. You can check out the back issues on the website and see which articles interest you. It'll probably be more expensive (or you'll get fewer magazines for the amount you intended on spending), but at least this way you'll be sure about what you're getting. I'm sure folks here will be more than happy to suggest past issues of both magazines that are "must haves." Here's my pick of [I]Dragon[/I] from the last five years: [URL=http://paizo.com/dragon/products/issues/2002/294]#294[/URL] (April 2002) - Gods, vehicle rules, catchphrases, a couple of classes. A really fun issue. This was the first one I bought after getting involved with D&D 3.0e. [URL=http://paizo.com/dragon/products/issues/2003/313]#313[/URL] (November 2003) - Playable lycanthropes, half-monster templates, ghost elves, dragon insanity...and more! [URL=http://paizo.com/dragon/products/issues/2004/315]#315[/URL] (January 2004) and [URL=http://paizo.com/dragon/products/issues/2004/319]#319[/URL] (May 2004) - I list these together because they're both flashbacks of various settings from D&D history (although the latter focuses more on [I]Dark Sun[/I]). Both are filled with classes, monsters, feats, and various other useful tidbits. [URL=http://paizo.com/dragon/products/issues/2005/329]#329[/URL] (March 2005) - Myths and monsters! Describing both the origins of certain creatures of myth and delving into some serious literature ([I]Beowulf[/I]), perhaps my favorite article here is the one on Mesopotamian deities. There's also a great bit on Pazuzu! [URL=http://paizo.com/dragon/products/issues/2006/340]#340[/URL] (February 2006) - This issue gives you the sun, the moon, and the stars! Not only does it provide a zodiac, but feats that allow characters to make the most of their astrological sign. Also, an article for sun and moon worshippers as well as an astrologer prestige class. As for [I]Dungeon[/I] the only one that comes immediately to mind is [URL=http://paizo.com/store/magazines/dungeon/downloads/112]#112[/URL], the [I]Maure Castle [/I] issue. I don't particularly like running dungeon crawls, but I'd sure love to play this one! [/QUOTE]
