[QUOTE="magnuskn, post: 1887371, member: 5249"] Okay, first off, I *am* buying Dragon at the moment, but if it continues in the new look as it is, I´ll be jumping off after a few more issues. So, with this in mind, here goes: 1. I won´t continue buying Dragon in the future, because the new sections doe nothing for me and have replaced better content. The miniatures stuff is completely uninteresting for me; Zogonia is a much worse comic than every other one which I saw before in Dragon, and instead of replacing it, its section has been enlarged ( bring back Phil and Dixie, I say! ); Winning Races just seems superfluous, aren´t there enough races already in D&D?; and last but not least, Class Acts is not a column which brings much interesting stuff at all to the classes, besides the flaws or once the new equipment for Rangers. At the moment, I´m just waiting for the flaws for the different classes to be completed, at which time I´ll drop the magazine. Also, on a purely visual level, the new "white on black" approach doesn´t look as good as the old "mixed colors" approach. 2. Well, first off, bring back Phil and Dixie. Really, please do. They rocked. Second, could you give some loving to the new core classes, which were in the Complete books? If there is a Class Acts section, go for those new core classes, too, they could need some new specials, the normal core classes already have tons of their own. Same goes for some of the PrC´s, which never get expanded upon in any venue. Change the layout back to the old multi-color style, please. The new black-on-white layout looks dreary and boring. Things that I *loved* to death were the statistics for the "heroes" from the War of the Spider Queen series. Yay, finally some high-powered NPC´s to use against my own players! Does anybody realize how much time it takes to build a threatening NPC of high level, not to mention several of them? More than it takes to cook up the plot for the week, I can tell you that! More of those would make me want to buy every single issue, be sure of that. Also, if WOTC doesn´t plan it by themselves, could you please make a new master table for random treasure, including all the stuff WOTC invented for the last years? Maybe after Complete Adventurer comes out? I know, not likely that you´ll be allowed to do it, but it would really be nice to be able to roll up random treasure, and to be able to roll anything of the current stuff, not have to include it by hand. Well, that´s it, I´ll now read the thread to see if someone else already gave those suggestions I gave. :p Magnus [/QUOTE]
