Message: <blockquote data-quote="SteveC" data-source="post: 3821041" data-attributes="member: 9053">I have to seriously disagree with this, at least in part. Publishing an online magazine is a completely different skill set than what WotC does: they know print publication quite well, but have no experience with professional for pay online publishing, and they also don't do a periodical either. Those are completely different issues than putting out a core rulebook.I would make the argument that WotC knows how to put out core rulebooks better than anyone else in the business. From a "quantity sold" perspective there's no arguing this, and I'll subjectively stack the current PHB/MM/DMG against any core rulebook that's out there,Once we get into splats, I think things become far more subjective, and I'll grant that there have been better splat books of a particular type made by third party companies (again, that's pretty subjective, since by sales alone this isn't the case).So the launch of 4E is something that WotC has done before, and done quite well with.Dragon magazine online? Little or no experience with something like that, unfortunately.As a result, I think we can't take the quality of the online publications as any sort of indication of a lack of quality for 4E.Of course, YMMV.--Steve</blockquote>
