[QUOTE="velm, post: 1888947, member: 25998"] 1. Why don't you buy the magazine? 2. What sort of changes would make you more likely to give it another look? I actually had a subscription for a while. Think it was for about 3 years or so, been a while. I think it started with issue 167, might have been a little over, not sure, I remember a few after the issue with the holographic cover, 200. I dont play as regular as I would like to now, back then, I think i was also in a lapse for players. I was still into it, but hard to do with not as many players. I really love some of the articles, they can really throw alot of good ideas into the mix. Some of the ones that I like are: the various ecologies, they give a 'feel' for the monster new magic items, always a welcome thing new monsters, again, interesting challenges variations on something standard, like the witch, and various paladins (from 1st ed, obviously) but the effect is still the same. They can add to gameplay. I miss the various reviews of computer games and other role playing games. why do i NOT get it anymore? tough one there. Very hard to answer, I used to look forward to seeing them at the Waldens, and flip thru them, now I just give it cursory glance if any. Not sure why. I think the current 3E system is a great thing but hard to place why the magazine does not spark anything in me anymore. I have not seen any current artwork, but back in the day it had a had a great feel to it. Still not in any regular group, i have a few dry spells whenever i move. I am in the military, and sometimes when I go on deployments it can be difficult to get mail, and storing in on a ship when underway for 6 months can be rough. kinda bad excuse, but that is one minor reason. One of the best things ever done was that DRAGON on disk setup. It is a great reference tool. It is a shame another cannot be done to update it. I would gladly shell out $30 for a current listing of dragons on cd. it is also a great space saver as well. (WOW, I started this BEFORE GHOSTWIND did his post. Strange on how close they are. So you can tack this onto Ghostwinds :) ) [/QUOTE]
