I love to read Dragon, but I don't use it.

[QUOTE="Scribble, post: 1758862, member: 23977"] Yes this is probably true, but there are a few things that the internet doesn't have in my opinion. 1. The appeal of something physical in your hands that looks nice on the shelf. Magazines I can take almost anywhere. The internet, not quite as portable... At least not yet. :) Also along the same lines of why I like physical game books more then pdf files. At the moment I can curl up in a comphy chair and read a game book... I can't curl up in an armchair with my desktop... :-p 2. Profesional editors/writers. The internet is wide open. Yes, there are tons of good articles, comments, suggestions, and home brews, out there, but there is also a ton of crud. At least with Dragon, I can reasonably assume that the editors and powers that be have picked the most entertaining and usefull ones out there, and that I'm never going to have to wade trough. "tHiS pRc I mAdE iS 1337!!!!" But again, like I said, the internet is an amazing resource for gaming, but, I like em both. :) [/QUOTE]
