Mouseferatu,
You may have a valid point. What I suspect will happen is that Dragon will remain mostly focused on D&D and d20. I do not have a problem with an occassional article for other systems, if it is well written. Also, some articles should be able to be used across game systems. For example, economics and heraldry are two topics which need not be tied too closely to the rules.
Dungeon will likely remain focused on D&D, largely because of the market.
I wonder what will become of Polyhedron.
In the good news, Lisa Stevens has been mentioned in connection to the publications. If my memory is correct, she is a gamer and has worked at WoTC. She was at GenCon back in 1997 at a panel with Peter Adkison of WoTC.
Erik Mona, I know that you frequent these boards. Can you or someone else from WoTC provide some insight on this news? How will the publications change? I hope the staff remains in place.
Also, when will the changes take place. I think there are a few people who might want to find out what sort of articles the publications are looking for from writers.
