Maybe they need to steal their authors. I think WotC got the game designers, but I sometimes feel they just don't have the authors - or at least they don't let them write great adventures often. And maybe I shouldn't limit this to adventures. Generally, in the fluff department people say they want to see more, and WotC doesn't seem to find the right way to do it.To pick a recent example -there is some fluff in the "Big Trouble" article in Dragon. But is it really enough? Couldn't it have been more?Maybe it is not the inability to do it, but just not leaving enough space for it. The PHB layout discussion touches a little on that. People are missing play example and connecting fluff and all that. It makes sense it is missing, since it would delude the use at the game table. It makes sense to have it, because it can inspire people to play or to create new adventures. I don't know how to combine game table usability and reading fun in a good layout either. Maybe it's not possible. Maybe they need to use Dragon articles or dedicated books for it. (If you combine good artwork and good fluff with very little crunch, you might have something that interests a different set of people.)</blockquote>
