Ouch! Elves get no respect! But, I suppose dimunitive, stone-squatting, aesthetically-challenged, thick-headded dwarves are not too bad.


I must say that this was one of the better issues in some time. I would concede that First Watch is not much more than a curiosity, but the fiction was enjoyable. I would not mind seeing three or four fiction articles a year, possibly in "themeatic" issues.

The cartoons are entertaining! Nothing wrong with those as they are.

I see improvement in the magazine, and am looking forward to the future. For a wide enough audience to make the magazine profitable to publish you will not satisfy everyone all the time. I am willing to put up with a little fluf if it will keep the publishers producing Dragon and Dungeon magazines.


I noticed that Dragon #327 was listed on your web-site as shipping already. But, later the #326 listing was re-inserted and no mention of what happened? Is there a significant delay or problem with the new issue that we may not get it by Mid-December.


from what I have read the duergar article sounds really good. problem is, it is the 26th of October and I have not recieved my copy of 325 in the mail yet. I did see it on the newsstands this morning as i picked up my cup of coffee. I am dissappointed as a subscriber in good standing not to enjoy the same articles as many of you are. I can only hope this is a fluke. I await my copy.


I am a long-time reader and a short time subscriber, from #289. I have not commented about the changes in Dragon, feeling that with all new things a chance should be given for review and reflection.

However, one of the things that attracted me to Dragon and Dungeon for that matter was the unique and exciting logo as well as cover art. I grew to enjoy the articles and enjoyed the fiction as well.

I must add my name to the growing list of subscribers who are not impressed with the changes. My specific critique is the Logo. It no longer holds the excitement and uniquness of the previous design. I gives the reader the impression of a generic product, inferior and unsubstative. Not the eye catcher that the previous logo held for me. It is; in one word, Boring.

You have a lot going for you, and a renewed interest in Gaming, you need to bridge the growing gap between longtime, loyal subscribers and the new potential subscribers. That needs work.
Ecologies, I miss. Theme issues were good, I would like to see you continue those.
THe ultimate issue you, the editorial staff is looking for me to answer is; will I cancel my subscription over the logo? Probably not. will I renew my subscription? We will see. I want to give Paizo a chance, but I have not been blown away by the new look or format.

Good Luck, I will be watching for attempts at improvement.
