Message: <blockquote data-quote="Raven Crowking" data-source="post: 2090323" data-attributes="member: 18280">Hey Erik,Just so you know where I am coming from, I do purchase both Dragon and Dungeon on a regular basis, Dragon far more often than Dungeon.  By moving the DM materials to Dungeon, you've gotten me to purchase more Dungeons.  I appreciate the Dungeon articles that gave some examples of wilderness descriptions, encounters at the gate, alternates to taverns for seeding adventure hooks, and bridges.  I care less for the NPC bits that start with long stat blocks.  I might be willing to entertain the stat blocks after being told about the NPC, though...not unlike a dungeon room is described before stat blocks appear.What I am not suggesting is shifting focus away from D&D or the current edition.  What I am suggesting is that the current edition is rather rules-heavy already, and needs more material to help make use of the rules/create game flavor than it needs a new prestige class per issue.  The cool thing about these sorts of articles is that they contain, as a matter of course, general information that is usable in a wide variety of game systems even if the article itself focuses on 3.5.  A good recent example is The Petit Tarrasque, which I enjoyed.  An earlier issue had an article on setting up a campaign like a television series.  While I don't intend on doing so for my own campaign, it made interesting reading.  It made me think.  That is what I want.RC</blockquote>
