[QUOTE="Razz, post: 3468450, member: 3014"] This makes total sense and I agree. Because I have read a few times from the WotC staff that the reason they moved from posting "crunch" material on their website to posting more "fluff" is because they "didn't want to put anything on their website that they could sell in a book." Which tells us this: "crunch" material sells. Little by little you saw them disappear: [I]Monster Mayhem[/I], [I]The Mind's Eye[/I], [I]Epic Insights[/I], [I]Fey Feature[/I], [I]Spellbook[/I]..... .....and you started to see more "fluff" content appear on their website: [I]Save My Game[/I], [I]Character Class[/I], [I]Rules of the Game[/I], [I]Steal This Hook[/I], [I]Design and Development[/I]. But then you have the ones that want the "fluff" with it. Hence, the new monster, magic item, and prestige class formats. But it's still difficult to balance the two out with limited page count. After reading their "Reflections on the D&D Magazines" and seeing that the team is actually excited about what's to come in the future, I am hoping this e-zine offers those sorely missed "crunch" articles plus more. Hopefully we'll start seeing support for non-core material just like we did with Dragon Magazine. [/QUOTE]
