[QUOTE="Riley, post: 3830378, member: 12870"] What do I want in my magazines? Dragon: [list] [*]a lot of articles of varying size and type [*]an emphasis on creative/unique ideas that will inspire the creation new adventures, characters, and worlds [*]No 3e rules/mechanical articles [*]Articles that stand on their own, and are NOT 'enhancements' advertising other products [*](After 4e's release) Articles on making the best use of the new 4e rules. Many WOTCites have been playing the game for a while, and they should spread their insights around. [/list] Dungeon: [list] [*]A wide range of size, type, and style of adventures [*]Mostly submissions from OUTSIDE and new authors. New people with original ideas should be the big part of Dungeon. [*]The adventures should be a lot MORE flexible than the recent WOTC published adventures. [*]Their ideas should NOT be pounded to death to fit a predetermined mold. They should not all be forced into WOTC's Delve Format, which seems to turn every adventure into a series of focused miniatures skirmishes. And monsters should be chosen because they fit, not because there's a miniature out there. [/list] Oh, and I want a quality printed version at the end of the month. Please make the end-of-the month PDF a well-laid-out product that is ACTUALLY suitable for printing. That is, make the font a size reasonable for printing, not that large print used for reading off a screen A BIG AND EASY/REASONABLE REQUEST: Please make a formal arrangement with a Print-On-Demand publisher to print off copies of Dragon/Dungeon Magazine, linked to from the WOTC web pages. You will be able to say you've accomodated paper-loving Luddites like myself at a minimum cost to yourselves. You'll have made it easy to get a quality paper copy, and you might even be able to arrange a slightly better price per issue than we'd get if we took the PDF to them ourselves. [/QUOTE]
