[QUOTE="Jürgen Hubert, post: 3469404, member: 7177"] There seems to be a lot of anger these days against WotC. I can understand that a lot of people are upset about the cancellation of two print magazines that many people dearly loved. But I, for one, won't be changing my buying habits of WotC books one bit. For one thing, I never subscribed to either Dungeon or Dragons. Yes, I bought a few issues of either - but ultimately, they were too D&D-centric to be of interest to me. I've always had an interest in a large spread of RPGs, not just D&D, and I thus had a hard time justifying the expense for me. I do subscribe to a gaming magazine - [URL=http://www.sjgames.com/pyramid/]Pyramid Online[/URL] by Steve Jackson Games - which at $20 per year and rather extensive archives full with mostly generic gaming articles does give me far more bang for the buck than either Dragon or Dungeon ever did. As for other WotC books, the publication of these magazines has no impact on them. I will likely continue to buy all Eberron supplements as they come out, just as I did before. I might also pick up new Forgotten Realms supplements, but that will be decided on a case-by-case basis, depending on internet reviews. I am unlikely to buy any new pure "rule supplements", but this is nothing new - the only such books I purchased were Unearthed Arcana and the Psionics Handbook (both editions). I am far more interested in settings, and thus am spectacularly unexited in new D&D rules - if I want to play something radically different from normal D&D campaigns, I will just switch to an entirely different RPG system rather than trying to muck around with the standard D&D rules. I wish luck to both Paizo with their new magazine as well as WotC with their new online scheme, in whatever form it might happen. But neither of these ventures is likely to have any impact on me, and thus I see no reason at all why I should change my buying habits. So, does anyone else feel the same way? [/QUOTE]
