[QUOTE="Razz, post: 2084656, member: 3014"] I get Dragon for the crunch mainly. And the fact it's 100% WotC official. WotC has taken Dragon material and has been placing them in their new products every month. I do not and never will use 3rd party products, I have my reasons. I like Dragon, it has never disappointed me and I don't think it will. To me, Dragon is that official source I get every month to provide material for my games that WotC don't have time or space to write up. Plus Dragon comes out with a good balance of fluff and crunch (lately they've been doing better with that aspect). Dragon has provided tons of material that has made me and my gamers happy and interested. I don't see anything wrong with it. The only wrong thing that can happen would be if its publications were to cease. The problem with gamers nowadays is everyone's too picky and likes to nag about things they don't like instead of just accepting things the way they are or making the best of what is there. People are starting to sound like fanatical, dissatisfied, classy movie critics (hence, one reason I never read movie reviews until ~after~ I've seen the movie, or sometimes never at all). If there's something you like, take it, tweak it, enjoy it. If not, ignore it, rule zero it, whatever. If you have a problem that is minor in part to the community, roll with it. If it's a big problem to the community, band together and speak to the authorities about it. Maybe it's because I'm a simple person by nature, and that is why I don't read between the lines with everything published by WotC. The only thing I get frustrated about sometimes is when they haven't published something I'd like to start seeing more of (like psionic articles), or more crunch material, etc. etc. but then again, that's my lone opinion against an entire community. I can't do anything about it except to be patient. I have to remind myself they have to please the majority over the minority (primarily for monetary reasons), that they're doing what they can to please a community, to please the current generation of gamers, and not everyone is going to get what they want all the time. You know, this is just a game. People are starting to turn this into politics. This shouldn't turn into a debate similiar to the 2004 elections. [/QUOTE]
