Wil Wheaton Drops Dungeon Column

[Jupp]

Hm something like a "What happend to...." column would be nice. It would cover people that work or worked in the industry and explaining what they do at the moment and what they are working on. It could also cover items (from introduction up to today, who owned them and who owns them now), spells (how they evolved over the different editions, how they were invented), NPCs or Monsters. Everything everyone always wondered "Hmm, what happend to xyz" The good thing with that sort of column is that you have endless possibilities each month what you want to have in it.

Yawn.

This barely picks up on the radar.

Now if he said he was taking his own life because of bad feedback, that might be interesting. He'd finally have something to say.

You do realize that he is an actual person, right? You know, a human being of flesh and blood, just like you and me. Don't you think this kind of statement is somewhat cruel?

Hell, while you´re at it, drop Mt. Zogon and The Portent, too. Bring back Nodwick or get Dork Tower or OotS into the mag.

I loves me the Mt. Zogon. Creepy Underdark chick and her talking mushroom are too too funny.

I want to like Downer more, but I really think the format isn't working for the story. There are bits of it I've really liked, but it's hard to get into half-way, and that's a problem when the story lasts this long.

This I agree with. If I had a choice between Downer, Mt Zogon or Wil Save, Wil Save would win every time.

My hat of Downr nos know limit.

Yeah I hate that cartoon. I just can't follow it and it makes no sense. You'd probably sell more if you replace them all with battlemaps.

Outside of battlemaps I like any idea that is human interest related and not related to the adventures in any of the magazines. Unless you take the concept from computer gaming monthly in which they do dialogue based on them playing a game they reviewed in the magazine. But the dialogue is less about the game than it is about their personalities and competitiveness. I could you doing that sort of a DM vs player. Whereas a DM gives his thoughts and then the player gives his thougths on a situation. However, this would have to be done in house or using the same writers in order to insure consistentcy.

This is typical of the paizo boards. Stuff like that on here will get you banned

On here, it sorta depends on who said it. If it was you or I, we'd probably get taken to task (prolly not banned unless it was a common occurence). As it is, I'd lay down even money nothing will come of it.

I am sorry to see it go. It was the first thing I read.
I would really like to see Maps of Mystery fill the spot if at all possible.
Maps make my day.
Or at least replace Downer with Maps of Mystery

Didn't say he was a jerk or anything. His column does nothing for me and his reaction is childish and adds nothing.

Am I wrong for stating that this is basically non-news for me and that it's impact is pretty minimal?

 

[JoeGKushner]

So how does one overcome the poor art and complete lack of writing skill? Downer is avoided like the plague in my issue of Dungeon.

This is a ditto for me too. Downer is well, a downer.
