[QUOTE="jshelky, post: 1887569, member: 17631"] First, I'd like to chime in and agree with the many people mentioning the desperate need for a yearly index, be it online or in the mag. Since the advent of 3.0 there have been so many crunchy bits published that it's almost imposible to sort out. Add the fact that so many of them are feats that appear somewhere in the middle of an article makes it a huge hassle to find what you're looking for. As a consequence even though I have subscribed since 274 the only issues my group and I use are the fighter and magic themed issues that came out for 3.5. There's lots of other stuff I'd like but it's not readily available. Currently the usefullness of an index would inspire me to re-up my sub just knowing I'd get better use from the magazine. Second, I'll also say that although I understand that people may read the fiction is has always been a waste of space in my opinion. I subscribed/purchased Dragon from issues 100 to 200 and 274 on and in all that time I've only ever read "The Test of the Twins" and ignored all the other fiction. On the reverse end of that I always loved pages from the mages, not for the new spells but rather whatever story Elminster had to go with them this time. I guess I just prefer the short stories that go with the actuall articles rather than just the stories themselves. Last, and this is a little off topic. I realize that a number of both prestige classes and feats have made it into "official" products over the years, but I and my group as a whole would love to see some compilation books that reprinted and update to 3.5 articles from dragon. There's easily enough info out there to do a Dragon magazine Greyhawk special edition. Or a book of feats and equipment, a book of prestige classes etc. It's a product we've hoped for since the 3.0 issues began and would happily gobble up. Thanks for your time, I hope you continue to grow the fan base and keep Dragon going strong. [/QUOTE]
