[QUOTE="countgray, post: 1889100, member: 18338"] What inspires me to buy Dragon Magazine? Sense of wonder. Articles that capture my imagination with the possibilities I can use in my game. Tips on DM'ing, puzzles & riddles to use in my game, interesting characters, cool campaign ideas. I really love [B]Forgotten Realms[/B] lore & history & details about unexplored places. I love stuff about the [B][U]planes[/U][/B] and if I hear of articles dealing with the planes or oustiders I will go chasing around to find particular Dragon issues. I love the articles on Monster Ecologies -- how they fit into the world, secrets you didn't know about the monsters, odd little tidbits about anatomy, what they eat, their origins, history, psychology, relations with other races. If you can supplement such articles with maps of their lairs or graphics illustrating their biology you can really capture my attention. I do like the Sage advice with helpful advice on using and interpreting rules. I like tips on painting minis, or on making scenery or battlemaps to use. I love the [U]battlemap inserts[/U] that Dragon sometimes has, I can't get enough of those! I really do not like new prestige classes & new mechanics. I much prefer [B]ideas[/B] to rules & mechanics. Sorry, but I do not care for fiction in Dragon. While I have enjoyed the odd fiction piece or two in Dragon, for the most part I skip them and kind of resent them taking up space that could be better used. I really enjoyed some of the material supporting older editions. I got a big kick out of the issue that had articles revisiting all the old campaign settings. I loved the Dark Sun updates you did. I would love to see more of that in the future. If you could do a Planescape Setting issue sometime, or even just an occasional planescape article I would jump for joy. I love the Ed Greenwood Forgotten Realms articles. If you could have an Ed Greenwood article in every issue I would be thrilled. Languages also thrill me. You did some articles on Elven & Draconic & other languages awhile back. I would love to see articles on Orcish language, Celestial, Abyssal, Infernal, Aquan, Sylvan, and other fantasy languages, complete with glossaries and interesting grammar. If you could commission alphabets/scripts/runes to go with the articles those would be must buys for me. [/QUOTE]
