[QUOTE="Imban, post: 4560826, member: 29206"] Hey, I resent that. I thought the Draconomicon preview with the purple dragon was awesome, and said so! I mean I [B]also[/B] used the post to slag off the brown dragon's new Gourmet Chef Dragon flavor, but I'm occasionally happy about stuff! ;) If I wanted to, I could easily get the E-Dragon and E-Dungeon magazines for free elsewhere, yes. I am admitting this on a public forum because it's blatantly obvious that piracy exists. (My assessment of DDI as being borderline in value to me didn't take this into account, though. $6/month for Dragon Magazine and a flash tool to create monsters is worth it on good months, but you're banking $72 on there being a lot of those. And December already looks... ...well, I'm not sure, really. <s>Playtest</s>Preview material is always nice to find out about, but it means Dragon #370 is going to be MONUMENTALLY less useful a year from now than every issue leading up to it.) Honestly I'd buy that assertion - most "munchkins" do indeed want to get a DDI subscription, as long as you're talking about people who are playing 4e D&D. That people playing WoW who have never played D&D and don't ever want to don't want to pay for DDI is both hardly surprising and irrelevant. [/QUOTE]
