[QUOTE="Garnfellow, post: 3494630, member: 1223"] To me, this is a crucial point. I'm not congenitally opposed to taking Dungeon or Dragon online. I can apprehend the huge advantages to both the producer AND consumer by going electronic. Personally, I love to have my adventure material in electronic format so I can tweak things to my heart's delight, and I love the idea of having content online and INDEXED, rather than hunting through six books and 16 issues of a magazine for that one feat that should be perfect . . . But to me, Erik and James have been doing great stuff with the magazines, and frankly, I think right now Dungeon and Dragon are the best they have ever been -- and my first issue was #46. I think all of the former editors and such that Wizards trotted out a couple of weeks ago are probably all good folk and they all did decent enough jobs back when they ran the magazines, but for my money none of them did their jobs anywhere near as well as Erik and James have. And despite all the benefits that an electronic medium will bring, at the end of the day it's all about the content. And while I don't think that anything Wizards is going to put out will be junk, I also don't think the content will be quite as consistently good as what Paizo has been producing for the last 3 or 4 years. That, to me, is what really bums me out about this deal. [/QUOTE]
