Message: <blockquote data-quote="Lord Fyre" data-source="post: 3899529" data-attributes="member: 56168">Actually, that is part of why getting rid of Dragon was a bad move.  With their desire (need) to build up enthusiansm in the new edition of D&D, Dragon magazine would have been a very powerful means of hyping the new material!   <img src="http://www.enworld.org/forum/images/smilies/paranoid.png"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":uhoh:" title="Paranoid    :uhoh:" data-shortname=":uhoh:" /> And not having the resources (and will) to really push their Digital format, ending Dragon at this critical time was an even worse decision for the coming edition.   <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f641.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":(" title="Frown    :("  data-smilie="3"data-shortname=":(" /> I am also, even more disapointed that Dungeon was ended.  Game Companies rightly point out that modules do not sell well enough to justify the publication cost, yet many adults (like myself) don't have the time to write every adventure from scratch.   <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f631.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":o" title="Eek!    :o"  data-smilie="9"data-shortname=":o" /> Dungeon was a good compromise.  Because it was a single item, it does not bear the publication/marketing/etc. costs of a module, but none the less provided a large number of good quality pre-written adventures.   <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /> Further, just as Dragon was the best tool to market the new edition, Dungeon was and equally useful instrument to generate interrest in the settings that WoTC has announced that they will be creating (I believe "one new setting a year" was the word on the street).   <img src="http://www.enworld.org/forum/images/smilies/paranoid.png"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":uhoh:" title="Paranoid    :uhoh:" data-shortname=":uhoh:" /> I expect that the Gleemax/DI digital magazines will be high quality, I just think that they might not be the best tools right at this time.   <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f641.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":(" title="Frown    :("  data-smilie="3"data-shortname=":(" /> (B.T.W., no I do not work for, nor have I ever worked for Pazio)</blockquote>
