Which Dragon column(s) would you like to see revived?

Yeah, this was one of my favorite features of Dragon back in that era. The copyright/trademark issue is a problem, but there are many, many characters from myth, legend, and literature that is now public domain that could be presented. It would be a good way to showcase how the rules could be used to create all manner of characters, and could also be a good way to tease material from new releases (as long as they provided all the information necessary to use the new abilities).

I'm not sure it couldn't be done now. First, did the laws change so much, or are people just wary of possibly stepping over-the-line now (or was it a big no-no that everyone didn't worry about).

Secondly, they could send the word out to fantasy publishers that they'd be willing to do these articles for fantasy series. It's publicity and I'm sure some companies would jump at the chance. The real question here is how much work it would require for it to happen.

3. ARES (for d20 Modern support).

I've been digging through some back issues (mostly on the CD-ROM) and seeing what was there when. The least useful time period of Dragon for me is when Ares appeared. Once in a blue moon there was an article I could use (9 times out of 10 it was superhero oriented). The only column that was more useless, IMO, was the Forum. (Of course, we have that today in a better format - HERE ).

What would "I" like to see?

Hhmmm....

1) Voyage of the Princess Ark or the Known World Grimoire (won't happen but want to see it)
2) Giants of the Earth (I really liked these articles, my favorte of the 3.x and beyond articles added)
3) Knights of the Dinner Table (we can always use a reality check of how so many games go down in real life)

I like the "idea" behind the new format for Class Acts, I just don't like how they are executing it. I would say there should be more minor variant classes (like more fighter variants inspired like the ones in issue 310), sorcerer bloodlines, some interesting traits and flaws instead of just a new neato feat, stuff like that ---- but that's just me.


Overall, the magazine is doing well though.

3. ARES

Meh.

How about they just publish it as its own title, and let it stand on its own merits? No need for Dragon to (ahem) hold it back.
