However I've bookmarked the thread and will try and read through it - I apologise if anything below has been brought up already.  When Dungeon and Dragon were revised I expected to stop buying both. Admittedly I was most upset about the death of Polyhedron, though it was dying a slow death anyhow. I actually think, on a general note, that although I'm not exactly doing cartwheels over everything in the magazines, I think they've both been significantly improved by the revision, and despite patchy distribution I'm picking up both.  I still, and have posted this elsewhere, heartily dislike Silicon Sorcery, and given the choice would can it immediately. A while back there was a thread where Psion expressed a (perfectly legitimate) contrary view - that Silicon Sorcery acted as a conduit for interesting rules twists, given that CRPGs typically implement non-Vance magic systems, for example, and in general implement non-D20 systems more often than not.  I still think such a statement is a stretch, but it subsequently hit me that Wizards has a huge non-d20 seam of material it never mines at all for the purpose of d20 adaptation, specifically MtG. Given that Wizards/Paizo seem perfectly happy to adapt material from properties they don't own (Dungeon Siege, for example), why aren't we seeing adaptations of Mirrodin and Kamagawa? Cross brand contamination issues?  On a similar vein, it would be far more useful to me if, given a choice of stuff to steal/adapt, instead of picking up CRPG stuff, there were monster listings for my considerable collection of Mage Knight minis, or for competing miniature lines like Rackham and Aegyptus. Campaign Magazine (barely) started adapting Mage Knight monsters for d20, with wizkids cooperation so maybe they would be open also.  Anyhow, just a thought/suggestion.</blockquote>
