My general pattern with Dragon & Dungeon is that for the first year of a new release, I'll be all over it, but after that, my enthusiasm trails off, and despite the excitement I usually wind up using exactly none of the content in my game anyway*.Paizo's Adventure Paths changed that for me, and I re-upped for them, so I'm open to the idea that something they'll do with Dragon/Dungeon will be great, but so far, I'm not seeing the <a href="http://forums.gleemax.com/showpost.php?p=13433164&postcount=2" target="_blank">"quest for excellence" James Wyatt was on about</a> with regards to the online offerings.In fact, I'm seeing a "quest for git 'er dun," which isn't likely to result in anything special.Upside? 4e is going to be very good.  Downside?  The internet/electronic aspect won't be.Net?  We'll all just keep on like we have been.  <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=":)" />-----* Not entirely true, I let the LoT heroes kill Warduke with extreme prejudice.  They, of course, had no idea who he was.  <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=":)" /></blockquote>
