I am new to these boards, indeed, to paizo's online websight.
I've desided this was the easiest way to vent some anger.
I subscribe to Dragon, and a couple issuses ago, they take out what I started subscribing for, the info that all DM's find useful. The magazine is still good, but it was better.
Now, its more of a Players magazine instead of a good source of info for both.
Why? so Wizards can make money? I dont think thats the reason, but it sure seems that way. Now instead of getting the information I need and want in 1 magazine, I have to spend more of my all to rare money for another subscription, instead of useing it to buy more books that I would really like to have for my games.
I have always looked forward to the magazine every month, but now it comes later then what it did. It doesnt have all the info I looked forward to, and now they are starting to fill it with crappy short storys. If I wanted to read 3 pages of a book that might be interesting, I'll go to the library and skim all the books there, I dont want to pay for the privalage of reading something that might never be published.
The one thing that has offset atleast 1 of these, is the monthly riddle, that was a spot of brillance, and I praze the person that had that idea, but please tell me, why take out everything that made the magazine good in the first place?
To make more room for stuff that I'll never use?
I play in FR, I might be interested in Ebboron, but not right now, so I like the non-specific setting articals.
Ok, Im going to end this rant now and move on to something more creative, like surfing the web to find what once came to me...
