Campaign components?


Dragon Magazine General Discussion


The 'new' dragon magazine , with its updated look and shifting of articles, seems to have forgotten a very important article. The Campaign Components articles, which I believe I speak for most of your readers when I say were probably the best articles in the magazine, seem not to fit into the new format, as they're rather DM oriented. Dungeon has selected only a few articles alongside adventures in its magazine, and Campaign Components doesn't appear to be there either.
Are you really going to give up on your best article?


The didn't drop the article series... they dropped the article title. Now the entire Dungeon Magazine (except the adventures) is a giant Campaign Component!

I've got two issues of the new Dungeon. The Isle of Dread, with poster map, is in one. The latest has articles on fairs, forest ambushes, and fences (for goods). Issue 117 will have a fantasy city.


Do either of you know what campaign components is? It's not a new backdrop, it's an idea for a whole new kind of campaign. The existing ones were Knights and Paladins, Swashbucklers, Galdiators, War, and Spies. They are unique kinds of campaigns, not locales.

Yes, I do. And if you check out the contents of Dungeon Magazine, you wills ee that the majority of the articles now appearing there (besides the adventures) reflect *elements* of the Campaign Components formerly found in Dragon Magazine.

You will still see *elements* of the Campaign Components in Dragon Magazine. With the Dungeon = DM and Dragon = Player focus shift, the elements (components) of the Campaign Components article(s) will now be found as elements of existing and continuing articles in both magazines.
