[QUOTE="Minicol, post: 3520619, member: 17308"] [b]Sadness[/b] After my initial anger over the news, I am now sad. DRAGON meant a lot to me. I discovered it around issue 160 back when I was stuck on holidays in a shop that no longers exists. I had been playing D&D for years, yet things were stagnating. DRAGON opened a lot of new ideas to my mind. I jumped through them all, and started collecting the back issues. Got almost all of them now.... A few years later I submitted an article and amazingly enough, I was published. The meagre amount I earned for this was immediately spent and beyond to buy every copy I could for my geek friends... ah. DUNGEON, DUNGEON ! It hurts even worse. Contrary to the name, it was about more than mere dungeons (which are just crap smelling places anyways). I could write homebrew dungeons. I still can. It was About ADVENTURES ! And lo ! there were plenty. Far more in fact were published than I could possibly run. And that was perfect. I could choose from them, and find locales, NPCs (no ! PEOPLE), Scenarii... And I could fit it all into my campaign. DUNGEON, was the DM's ally. A few years ago I was running a home FR campaign. Due to a freak teleport accident, my PCS were separated from Waterdeep, and spent the whole part of two years getting back there. At the start of every session, I started an adventure, they declined it (wanting to return to waterdeep), so I dug another issue and got them another adventure that they had to do to return to Waterdeep. These were the days. And this is not the only campaign I did on Dungeon. On average 70 % of my adventures over the past 10 years as a DM were from DUNGEON. For now, I will use the stock of back issues... And for the future I dont know. But it will never be the same. Farewell old friends. [/QUOTE]
