I've finally read through issue 329 and I'm impressed. It's got an excellent piece of cover art. The crunch-to-fluff ratio is perfect. It isn't geared towards any particular setting. It's got a dragon in it (every Dragon should have dragons somewhere in the issue). Did I mention the excellent cover art?
If this is the new look and direction of Dragon, Thank you.
Now if we could just replace some of the interior art with black and white illustrations, get rid of the blurbs on the cover, bring back Wormy...

#329 is easily the best issue of Dragon since this whole'unleashed' nonsense started;). a very solid issue indeed.
may Pazuzu bless mr. Mona!

I agree. Good show.
I rarely have any reason to complain over an issue. I rarely use a thing in any of them but enjoy them anyway. I was surprised they had the triskele and awen mixed up in Class Acts for the Druid. The fact that they tried to incorporate some of reality into the druid however pleased my tree hugging friends and I despite the minor boo-boo. Still, I was surprised they goofed the two major symbols and not something more complex. Their are more symbols associated with Druidry and Druidism these days but those are the only two that really can be traced back.
Reality and history often present a lot of ways to make a character more rich. The tree alphabet ogham was used to inscribe on stones or small sticks. They were usually just markers or headstones and things of the like but a Druid with scribe scroll could be made more interesting by having scrolls with ogham symbols on them instead, no real affect on the game, just a thing for looks and to help set them apart from arcane spellcasters and the more clerical types.
