Previews for Dungeon 146 and Dragon 355 (May 2007)

[Banshee16]

I imagine that the gamers who have internet access far and away eclipse those who get Dragon magazine. The idea of something being in the magazine to reach the audience that buys Dragon but can't get online seems ludicrous; even if you don't have access to the internet, it's easy and often cheap (if not free) to find someone who does, or at least use the public library or a cafe.

Maybe I'm just having a failure of imagination, but...are there any gamers who both get Dragon and don't have internet access? If someone said no, I wouldn't be surprised at all.

There's a difference between having Internet access, and actually using it to get content and articles from the WotC or another site. In my group, though my players are all Internet-savvy, few of them are spending much if any time reading the WotC website.

A significant number of our subscribers are in active duty armed forces and have spotty to no access to the internet. A perhaps larger number are in prison, and have absolutely no web access.

Should we be worried about that last statistic?

No I mean more like a program specifically designed for D&D material reference so they can easily double check to see if something they have an idea about hasn't or isn't already being done by another author within the company.

What's funny is that there actually already is an index like this on Wizards' own page. As well as ones for PrCs, etc.

 

[Alzrius]

Ironically enough, WotC's online indices don't list the material they have on their website.

You'd figure, by now, they'd have a central database for all their work to avoid this sort of thing.

unless it already exists, i don't see such a thing happening.

Que?

 

[BOZ]

why not?

 

[takasi]

Sorry, nothing to see here.

 

[Whizbang Dustyboots]

why not?

Seriously, what's with bumping threads when there's no outstanding questions and nothing new to add? You've done this a few times.

 

[Nightfall]

Tak,

I'm not surprised...
