Hello,

This Saturday Jan 27, 2007 I went into my local shop and automatically grabbed the latest Dragon to come out. Now I also work there on Saturdays and it wasn't too busy so I took some time to look at this months Dragon. I am so glad because I DID NOT BUY IT! It was full of some artilce(s) about some book world I have no clue about and no interest in. I did note in the other threads people have mentioned this with great anticipation. Perhaps it is a good read, but I have no interest in it. If it was just a single article that would be different. But the whole book is full of this "The World of China Mieville " stuff. Now I don't say "crap" because maybe it is top notch but not to me. There was one article about Sasserine which was ok but as my party isn't at that point yet I may never buy tis issue. Having so much of this normally great book devoted to a single theme is not a good thing. Dragons is fine though really do we need more of them. But I can live with a volume exclusivly about dragons. But this all about the world of this author. Please don't waste my time. Then at the back there are usually a few good two page spreads with cool ideas and game variants but there were anything good, very flat infact as I did read those over. I am so glad I did have the time to look it over but it would have been a waste of my time.

I normally find Dragona dn Dungeon great reads, ideas, art, etc. I am presently running my Sunday group through Sasserine and the Isle of Dread. I can usually milk some goodies from any Dragon. i just of late have been going over my stock of them and gleaming some great stuff I had iether forgotten or hadn't thought of at the time. I have seen over these 20 years how things have improved. I really enjoy the magizines. I will very likely buy the next one but it won't be sight unseen as I once did so quickly. I will take the time and see if it really is worth my money.

Best to you all
