Concerning ecology submissions, I was wondering what creatures can be submitted? Obviously submitting an ecology on dragons is silly, and many of the iconic monsters have already been done. How can I know what creatures are possible?

Thanks in advance!


I wrote a similar post on Dungeon. Here's why.

Me and my brother sent a query to dragon a while back, giving four article proposals. One of them was a "campaign components" idea, aiming to do another in a series we considered excellent. When we sent it, the response was "you should pitch this to dungeon". I submitted a thread on the dungeon messageboards about this and they suggested re-sending it to dragon, since dungeon is mostly about adventures and standalone articles don't fit in the new format.

My question: before I send in an unwanted query, is there a possibility of a CC article in Dragon, or is it a thing of history by now? I personally would love the idea, but with the new format and the huge amounts of template articles which have to be in each issue I thought it might cause a space problem.

So, is it worth resending the query?


In a query to Dragon I once proposed a "campaign components" article, like the "war", "spies", "knights", "swashbucklers" and I think a few other articles, involving all the different elements required to make thematic campaigns. The response was "check in with dungeon on this one".
I was wondering whether such an article, which would obviously help DMs a ton, could ever appear, as the responder said, in dungeon, in place of the usual fourth article, usually a backdrop, bonus adventure or somesuch. It would come up probably less than once per year; it would be a highlight. Though this is more dragon-esque, I think it fits as a Dungeon issue and dragon seems to have passed the ball over.
I know the space is little but I think every single CC got hugely positive reponses; the magazines with those articles are considered major classics and are extremely memorable. It could be another one of the staples of dungeon.
Just a thought.
