It must have been a challenge. Well done on your part <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />Scott Rouse: Thank you for dropping by the lion's den! I am glad you have to courage to post and I hope you will interact with people here on a regular basis (although I imagine it cannot be very frequent - how about every Friday? Um, Fridays are usually days of last-minute-hell for everyone, so how about Mondays then? <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /> ).[lion's roar]While I do not level any personal blame at Scott, Bill, Chris or their subordinates for the Dragon/Dungeon PR debacle, I do cast an vile eye at their nameless superiors - it is those heartless corporate hacks who have created this situation and it is their hive-mind corp-speak culture (that's sooooo Walmart) that tainted the answers to our concerns. I agree we received some information, but it is, as the expression goes, "too little, too late". I ain't buyin' no DI/DRM content. Period. (What? One year foreknowledge and not so much as a simple webpage preview? Dudes, you folks at WotC are waaaaaaaaay behind the eight-ball!)[/lion's roar] I do like the idea of hardcopy compendiums of best material - that works for me. Part of the joy of this hobby for me stems from not using a computer but reading when I want to, by the the most convenient medium, doing things buy hand, and applying my mind to synthesize an efficient way to run entertaining game sessions as a DM. (IMO the digital age is not the be-all and end-all that some foolishly believe...)Given that Dragon and Dungeon are wrapped up print-wise - which is the same as dead as far as I'm concerned - I would love Dragon #360 to be a special final hardcopy by WotC, extra thick, few adds if any (I'd pay $20 for it), that is part retrospective of the very best ideas over the last 359 issues (including some old crunch converted to d20), and part new material (perhaps somethings that have been overlooked for a long time) by the best team of writers available. A very special farewell-see-you-on-the-online-side issue. A turning point where some of us can say good-bye to a great icon of our gaming era, and others can leap into something new - so everyone is happy and there is some closure too. I think this is quite feasible and a classy way to let things "evolve".Please consider our concerns by deeds and not words, and I bet many of us customers will become appeased if not pleased.Thank you <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />PS: It's 5:00 a.m. E.D.T and I'm in no shape to polish my post <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" /> Nighty-night!</blockquote>
