Wil Wheaton Drops Dungeon Column

[WayneLigon]

In his blog Wil says he's dropping the Wil Save column in Dungeon, apparently because of bad feedback from it.

How bizarre. I've never heard anyone say anything bad about it. I've enjoyed every single column, and I'm a pretty critical person. (Of course, I wasn't a Star Trek fan, so I don't have any kinda hate for the guy.)

I'm sorry to hear that. I really enjoyed Wil's column. In fact, I frequently flipped to it before reading anything else.

Still, the man's got to do what's right for him.

First thing I read every month.

Same here. And I liked it when he wrote about games other than D&D.

Just a guess, but it may be some people objected because they don't like anything in Dragon/Dungeon not related to (official) D&D. This seems to be a common trend.

When I first heard he was doing the column, I just knew I was going to hate it. When his first column published, I flipped to the back of the issue to read it with trepidation, thinking to myself, "What in the world can this guy possibly have to say that I'll be interested in reading?"

Lo and behold, it was actually really good. And I've read and enjoyed his columns every month.

I guess I'll miss them.

That's too bad. I enjoyed the column. It's kind of refreshing to read a column about gamer lifestyles and general gamer commentary rather than specific ideas on how to run your games, fluff, or crunch.

I enjoyed his column quite a bit. It was refreshing to see something that showed that games are a part of life, not life itself. It's sad that he got such negative feedback for what I felt was a positive step forward for both Dungeon and gaming itself.

[Posting Opinion]

Sorry, I just didn't like any of the articles. I thought it got kind of old talking about playing D&D with his stepson after the first article. Maybe it had to due with the fact that I had read some of his blogs relating some of his same experiences. A lot of it just seemed like a lot of cheese.

Not that I have anything against him (I'm not much of a Trek fan), his articles just didn't appeal to me.
