[QUOTE="Olive, post: 1888982, member: 1297"] Like many others, I do buy dragon but I'm not sure I'll keep buying Dragon. I mostly buy it now to collect. And like others, I'm pretty sure one reason is that Dungeon is now the killer mag. All the good stuff from Dragon is in Dungeon now, and given that I DM primarily, all the useful stuff is there. I have liked some recent articles: the darkness stuff, the home town stuff was all interesting. But my campaign is pretty much set and my players are fairly well along. Like others, I also hate the fiction, but unlike most fo the others I have an idea about how to fix it! I'm not sure if you've ever read Sep's Story Hour but he writes what is essentially fan fiction in a very interesting way, making a fair amount of in story and footnote reference to game concepts. Far too often the fiction bears no resemblence to the game that I play. With Sep's SH, there is never any doubt how that worked in game terms. Like someone said, I can get normal fiction anywhere, but a quality, game referencing on going serial would really hold my attention. But the best point is that Dragon alcks direction. I know it's the players magazine, but what does that mean? Dungeon isn't the DMs mag, it's the agazine for time-strapped DMs (and to a lesser extent Greyhawk fans). And that's a very clear focus that the magazine is currently filling extraordinarily well. [/QUOTE]
