[QUOTE="cjdc1973, post: 1887342, member: 20996"] I am going to go out on a limb and disagree with almost everyone on most everything. I definitely agree that Dragon could use an digital Index, PDF versions of the magazine, as well as timely rule set support for E-Tools and PCGEN. That's where I'll stop agreeing. Screw the Fluff. I don't need the help coming up with ideas. I never read a single Fluff based article. I never bother with Ecology, and ignore almost all of Class Acts. The Samurai versus Knight article made me want to burn my copy of Dragon. Lots of Crunch. I want more Feats, Prestige Classes, Spells, Magic Items. There are only ~2000 published spells by WOTC. I can never have enough. The magic item lists in the various books are woefully inadequate. I never get bored of new Feats to toss against my players. I eat Prestige Classes like candy. They are what makes my NPC's interesting for the 10 rounds and 3 hours of combat they are lucky to survive. More Forgotten Realms. Fiction;Ed Greenwood;Sean Reynolds;Eric Boyd;Bruce Cordell;etc. More statistics for characters from FR based novels. The entire line of FR based Fiction that lines my shelves isn't enough. I need more. I dislike the new black words on white paper layout. I relished the funky design with strange backgrounds and bright text. They made the magazine come alive. I could care less about the cover art. I don't by a magazine for its cover, I buy it for its content. Do whatever you want with the cover. I've been a subscriber for almost 3 years and have personally purchased all Dragon/Dungeon issues since 3E was released. I also have digital copies of every almost single issue scanned in so that I can always browse an issue or look up a rule. I'd love to have real authorized, OCR, text searchable versions that are not huge 100MB file sizes. Until then, I'lll acquire my less then legal versions while still paying for subscriptions to allow me to stay in a murky grey Fair Use area of the copyright law. *Energy Immunity Fire activated* [/QUOTE]
