Message: <blockquote data-quote="Reynard" data-source="post: 4649837" data-attributes="member: 467">I finally got a DDI subscription to support my attempt to fall in love with 4E and am really enjoying it -- the character creator, the compendium, and the magazines.  But saitting at my desk trying to read the articles in Dragon has me missing print mags *a lot*.  I like to sit on the couch while the kids play or watch Handy Manny, right there in case they want to interact but at the same time having "my time". Plus, having a stack of magazines to flip through when an idea strikes just makes my heart sing.  Were these magazines in traditional print format, I probably would have devoured all the gnoll related stuff -- it looks really cool -- and really dug into the skill challenge stuff -- I have an idea for a subsystem based around skill challenges -- but as it is I "flip through" on my PC and don't manage to get deeply into any of them.It isn't a deal breaker, of course, because there is a lot of other useful stuff on DDI -- which is actually too bad, because if enough people dropped their digital Dragon and Dungeon subscription WotC might be motivated to bring them back to print.  I totally disagree with the attitude that "that's the kind of information people go to the internet for".  People go to the internet for news and additional information, but ultimately the websites for Wired, Entertainment Weekly, Playboy or whatever support the print magazines.(Note: my wife works for a print magazine so I am not just talking out my back end.)</blockquote>
