Oh, by the way, the article, at least on my Mac, has a Reader view.

I think that's a Safari-only thing (so no-go for Windows), although I haven't used Firefox in a while. I mostly stick with Chrome.

Not everyone has a Mac (very few, actually). So, it's not a "10 second" thing to figure out.

Chrome does support reader view. Quick google search brought it up - you need to add it to Chrome though. IE does it naturally and I'm not sure about Firefox. Let's check:

Apparently it's an add on in Firefox.

Again, ten seconds of Google is your friend.

So, in other words, I'd have to know before hand that a "reader view" exists in other browsers. Search for, download and enable the extension.

That's more than 10 seconds.

And you can save the sarcasm instead of being a prig.

He has a point.

I'm not so sure he does. I want mine delivered upon embossed gold ingots. I don't think for a second that WotC is incumbent to deliver it in said format.

Where is the PC/Mac announcement? I've read the linked article above several times and it only calls out iOS and Android. Can you post the other link?

First page, first post, from Morrus. Where it starts, "Dungeon+?"

Not everyone know that.

This is the fourth time I've posted it to this thread. There is no excuse for people in this thread to not know it by now.

Seriously, the level of entitlement in this thread from some is astounding. It's FREE. You didn't expect it to begin with. And you're demanding it be delivered in the format you prefer? It's free, and dropped from out of the sky. Nobody is forcing you to do anything with it. Nothing about it is required in any way. They have explained how it will come in different formats in the future, but if that's not good enough for someone then everyone is free to ignore it and live their lives just like they were before this dropped out of the sky.

Moderator Hint: You don't get people to stop being sarcastic by calling them names. What you've just done is made it *less* likely the two of you can have a useful discussion.

So, how about this - no more sarcasm (which is really fundamentally failed communication anyway) *and* no more name calling from anyone in the thread!

Clear enough? If not, please take it to e-mail or PM with one of the mods, please.

Carry on!

No offense, but that doesn't say at all that the magazine interface will be browseable on a Mac/PC... Yes, you can "email to friend" every article to yourself to view on the web and technically that counts as "Mac/PC" content, but I see no official announcement anywhere in that text that the magazine will be browse-able outside of the app... or they would have specifically noted that on the wizards.com website.

You are jumping to a conclusion that is not supported by the quote.

You didn't expect it to begin with. And you're demanding it be delivered in the format you prefer?

I made no such demand. Go back and re-read all of my messages. I never said I demanded that it be in a certain format. I merely supported the assertion of others that it will not be available outside of the app.

...that doesn't say at all that the magazine interface will be browseable on a Mac/PC...

"we want Dragon+ to have DM and Player content, along with pc/console/mac/mobile content."

If you interpret that different than I do, you're free to do so. I truly don't care.

But it remains true that they are about to release this as an android app, and android apps can be used on a PC or Mac easily for free, and regardless of however many other people know this YOU now know this so YOU have nothing to worry about if you are concerned about your own ability to view this on a PC or Mac.

Me, I will be viewing it on my android devices, or iPad. Because it's convenient, and the way the world has moved.

My thought, exactly! I have always insisted that any content provided be made a available on onion-skin-thin pure illithium sheets!! It makes reading so much easier and they last forever!

As for delivery methods, I would be willing to pay 5x the current cost for delivery by express Copper Dragon, of course.

I was with you until the last paragraph.

Out of curiousity, how long of APs and random articles on WotC's website would need to happen before you are with me on the last paragraph?
