What about Greyhawk fiction by Gygax?

 

[Erik Mona]

Wouldn't that be fun?

The desire to tell you guys about changes I've _already made_ to the magazine is overwhelming, but I'm going to hold off for another day or so.

Fair enough.

BTW - what is the current readership of Dragon? I was trying to convince a friend to submit an article idea and one of my arguments is that far more people will see it in Dragon vs. a pdf on RPGNow.

Thanks!

We're currently quoting a paid circulation of 65,000. If there are PDFs that get that kind of audience, I'm in the wrong business.

Just for reference could you provide the numbers for Dungeon?

What about Greyhawk fiction by Gygax?

Um. OK. I've firmly been in the no fiction camp, however, I think perhaps D&D setting related fiction, bundled with an introduction to a class, spells, or fleshed out town and/or NPCs might be a good fit.

(especially it is Greyhawk penned by Gygax)

Forgive my ignorance, but is that subscriptions, or subs + regular distribution to game and book stores?

And thanks for asking for our opinions. We all needed to have our egos pumped up a little more.

and stop teasing us, what changes are you making?

Since we have this forum I would like to contribute. I have been a subscriber for a while but am thinking of letting it lapse.

Please get rid of the fiction (It's like beating a dead horse, sorry)
I use stuff like the name generation tables (Inns, Taverns, etc.)
The Creature Catalog idea is great
I like the the ecology articles, they are a little bland though
I did not like the Samuri vs. Ninja article at all (whoever is the better fighter wins, duh)
The how to create a campaign series was great (Maybe next time a City)
I really dislike the article series about kicking out a disruptive player, using a quater as a token, or finding a quiet place to play like the local library (those were bad)
I like stuff like 101 plot hooks, rumours, hauntings, etc.

Thanks for listening

Hey Erik, on a tangent, is it possible we'll ever see the d20 minigames from Polyhedron collected together into a single source, maybe with a few new minigames?

I'd buy such a book in a second.
