[QUOTE="Scribble, post: 5306786, member: 23977"] We can go back and forth on this like Aegeri mentioned, but suffice it to say- I think there are a lot of people that tend to approach these things with "What's the negative slant that could possibly fit this particular issue? How are they screwing us?" I don't see it that way. Personally I see a section of the magazine that is going to offer us stuff that doesn't "fit the mold." This offers people who don't need/want everything to fit the mold a place to get that content. Look how much back and forth there was by people about that original "magic items we can't publish" blog post. Clearly there's a group that wants stuff like this. I see it as akin to deleted scenes and blooper reels on DVDs. Some people think it's a waste of space, others think it's a neat look at content that otherwise wouldn't see the light of day. If this type of content isn't your thing- I got no beef with that. I just don't agree with the "I've found the secret reason they're doing this, and here's why it's bad" posts... Pretty much ever. :P Would it be better if they also published more "official" content... Sure (Although I think the quality of articles in dungeon has actually increased) but I think that's a discussion for that other thread I'd say. [/QUOTE]
