[QUOTE="kennew142, post: 4005872, member: 18490"] "Two best magazines in the industry" isn't saying much. What was the competition? IMO Dungeon was pretty good. I like reading adventures, even though I usually write my own. I have every issue of Dungeon and have probably ran fewer than a dozen adventures from it. IMO Dragon was mostly useless. I've purchased every issue since #49, but have seldom found anything that I could actually use. I enjoyed reading it, but didn't really [B]use[/B] it. I've always been more interested in articles that contain no crunch. We used to get more of them, but 3e seemed to be mostly about new rules in every article. I kept my subscriptions going for years just because they didn't cost me that much money and I enjoyed reading them. I've probably had greater interest in the paltry few articles that have appeared on DDI than I've had in Dragon for a few years. Even the cool ( :p ) articles on religions by Sean Reynolds were based on Greyhawk deities (or core deities, if you will). Even great writing couldn't make these gods interesting to me. I converted my remaining Dragon/Dungeon subscription to Pathfinder because I thought they seemed interesting. But Eric Mona's attitude on these forums regarding the new edition have convinced me that this is a waste of my money. I will likely be dropping that subscription this week. DDI will likely get my money for a few months before I decide whether to drop it or not.
