[QUOTE="Three_Haligonians, post: 1887151, member: 19546"] I have never bought an issue of Dragon. I have friends who collect them, and I sometimes peruse them. The only time I considered buying Dragon was back in the days when Knights of the Dinner Table was published. I really liked that comic! I know I could buy the comic book, but I felt it was a rip off that something that once came free in Dragon, was now published seperately under the same company. And then Phil and Dixie went away. Anyway, aside from my love of the funnies, the reason I would NEVER buy a Dragon now is the blatant recycling of artwork. I mean, come on, give me a break, Dragon is an expensive magazine, and all I see in it anymore is reused pictures of Mailee. I think you guys had some really good artwork on the go for awhile there. I'm a girl, so I get tired of seeing chainmail bikinis, and their ilk, but it seemed Dragon was moving away from that. But then the new design came out, and it looks to me as though you don't have any artists on the payroll anymore. I just feel that with the new design came less artwork, less diversity of content (seeing as how some content seems to have shifted over to Dungeon), and that friggin' Class Acts article. That article would be great if it had a theme each month. And on top of all that, it seems (in Canada, anyway) that there's been a price increase. The business of gearing Dungeon towards DMs and Dragon towards players just feels like a ploy to get subscribers to get both magazines, seeing as how Dm material is relavent to players and vice versa. Anyway, sorry if I sound confrontational. Dragon has only very recently made me angry, I think for the most part it's a great magazine. And, if it's any consolation, I think I'm way out of your demographic, being both female and Canadian :cool: . R from Three Haligonians [/QUOTE]
