I'm not a subscriber so I'll probably get some of this wrong but I'm going to assume they will exclude material that has seen or will see print elsewhere (class and/or race playtests and such).

The Demonomicon articles are the obvious choice although I could see saving them for their own hardback.

I would like to see something like what Paizo did with their Dragon annual: old articles updated to the current edition. If that happens, then perhaps we could see the death master paragon path (1E article) and various types of aboleths (another 1E article) as well as some updated articles from the 2E and 3.xE eras.

I definitely don't want a hard copy of articles from the past year.

I think you'll be disappointed then, as that is exactly what the Annual is going to be.

I would love to see a 'Best of Dragon' with 4e updates though.
 

I have never been much impressed with Dragon. I do not subscribe to DDI so I don't know exactly what is going on now, but I see no reason to buy the annual.
 


For some reason I keep wanting to see the Organizations, Incarnations, Demonomicron and Codex articles all in Dungeon rather than Dragon and make a Dungeon Annual with those plus the Dungeoncraft articles.

As for Dragon: Class, Equipment and Fluffy articles is what I want to see.

I don't think the Dungeon Annual is going to see the light of the bookshelf, but I'll buy the Dragon one just for leisure reading if it contains some nice flavor articles.
