My first reaction was "Wow...this has to be because of their online e-zine."My next feeling was similar to everyone else here. I will no longer have the feeling of rushing home to see if my next issue of Dragon arrived in the mail, pouring through it eagerly and giving each of the material a place in my games.I began subscribing to Dragon for a few reasons. 1) It was more D&D material2) It supported all sorts of books produced by WotC3) It was 100% D&D official content (I am one of those official-only guys)I feel sad because I believe Dragon and Dungeon have been producing better and better material in their magazines while WotC's material in their books have been decreasing constantly.But everyone here needs to calm down and pay attention to this: Griping about what evil WotC has done and boycotting their online e-zine AND their future D&D books is only going to hurt D&D even more! How do you know for a fact that the e-zine won't be as good as Dragon/Dungeon? I am willing to give it a try for some time before I make random assumptions. I was already prepared for this and the rest of you should have as well. I own a laptop. I bring my laptop to my sessions. I am always on my desktop to do my D&D preparations for the next session and I own several WotC books on PDF because it's a real bitch lugging them around all over the place. It's nice to have them, like a shelf of encyclopedias to make you look smart does, but I honestly don't believe the lot of you here really pack 15+ D&D books and haul them to your sessions. I don't lug around battlemaps nor do I use miniatures. I use a very famous softward program called Campaign Cartographer and using Dungeon and City Designer Pro with it and it works WONDERS when it comes to making your own battlemaps, world maps, or whatever you want to visually create. It's cheaper and a lot easier to handle. I have already entered the digital age and it's about time we all should too, because that's where the future lies whether you like it or not. I also do not hope this WotC e-zine fails or else you can say goodbye to anymore D&D content if it does.I am hurt that Dragon and Dungeon are gone, but let's not panic and raise pitchforks and torches to WotC. I think the only choice we have at this point is to give full support to this WotC e-zine.The only things I worry about at this point are two things:1) If this e-zine fails2) If WotC's e-zine content is as crappy as some of their books lately and not as good as what Paizo had produced</blockquote>
