[QUOTE="Acid_crash, post: 1899665, member: 16278"] The Martin short story was the only short story I've read in a Dragon Magazine, and when I saw the evil-words-that-are-four-letters-long, I was shocked, amazed, and thought to myself.... Now that's just cool. Why? Because Dragon published a short story written by an author who writes the way he does and didn't censor it. It made it similar to his book series and it fit with the feel of the story he wrote. To any who had a problem with a couple words, oh well. As for the magazine itself...if the fiction was reduced to three to four times per year and it was related to existing worlds (FR, Eberron, DL, Dark Sun, etc)... I would have no problem with that. In the end, the reason why Dragon is selling and Dungeon is not is because the primary purchasers of these magazines are Dungeon Masters and you moved all of the good articules to help with DMs becoming better DMs into Dungeon and left Dragon with useless, mindless, and boring articles with lame fiction and bland writing. It's like, you took the life out of the magazine and put it all in Dungeon... and it seems like you are trying to make up for a couple years of Polyhedron in Dungeon by making Dungeon so great all of a sudden. So, what are ya gonna do with Dragon? My suggestion... put Polyhedron type stuff in with Dragon. Take out the articles on crap that has nothing to do with gaming...we all know what those are, and put in articles that pertains to d20 in general. Paizo owns Dragon, not WotC, so WotC (unless I'm wrong) should have no say as to what gets put into the magazine. Dungeon should be the DM's magazine, Dragon needs to be the d20 magazine (and also primarily aimed at DM's because they are the ones that say yes or no if something in Dragon is allowed in their games... PLAYERS have NO say in this so don't cater to them). Repeat: PLAYERS have NO say in what goes in the game, so DON'T cater to them as much. DM's are the USUAL buyers of your magazines, so cater to them instead. [/QUOTE]
