[QUOTE="Steel_Wind, post: 2075624, member: 20741"] I don't buy Dragon, I buy Dungeon. For the most part, the articles in Dragon have not met my needs as a DM since the early to mid- 80s. The non-fiction approaches are re-treads and re-hashes of old themes (for the most part); the fiction is iffy; the class approach has ZERO interest for me and the PrCs... I have hundreds of PrCs already that I don't need. Getting new ones I don't need is of no value. Magic Items are always cool. Bazarre of the Bizarre or whatever it is you would like to call it is on interest and value to me. Does it justify me buying Dungeon on its own though? Nope. While I believe Eric is going to bring the direction of Dragon on a new bearing, I must be candid that I am not sure what that should be. I am sure that I would enjoy more gaming news and reviews of products other than WotC's. The explanations offered in the past suggest this is unlikely to return. The problem of print publications being a news source is difficult when faced with online competition. *shrug* I am left with a product that I find it hard to justify buying. Dungeon - I will buy faithfully every month without even bothering to even look at the cover to see what's in it. I KNOW for a fact that I want it and will find it useful. Maybe I'd be happier if they just put out two issues of Dungeon a month :p [/QUOTE]
