Online Content


Dungeon Magazine General Discussion


I am a big fan of the online content! However, I noticed that you're putting more than one thing on a page. Wouldn't it be more conveniant for DM use if you were to put one map to a page? What's the concensus on this?

Also, I hadn't really been paying much attention, but is it standard that the online content isn't released until the month after it's been sent out to subscribers? I know you're busy, but the sooner the better, if you know what I'm saying..

Both points well taken.

Thanks,

I must also say, so you know, that I appreciate the fact that you guys actually read, acknowledge, consider and act upon our ideas and criticism. I am happily downloading and printing the new .pdf for #123 two weeks earlier than I was anticipating having access to it! Thanks! :)

That said, what are the chances of you guys releasing just the maps in a super high-resolution format so that they could be enlarged to miniature scale?

Hmmm. That's an interesting idea.

I've been asking for this for a long time.

I, of course, think it's a great idea! If you could pull it off that would be totally cool, 'cause it would not be very much hassle and it's not very expensive to get this stuff up blown up at Kinkos. It really enhances the game to have good, solid maps to play with your minis on.

Thanks again for you consideration, btw. ;)

Hey-

I posted this months ago and I've heard nothing about it. I was wondering if this was at all a possibility. I still think this is a great idea, obviously, and I figured I'd rib you guys about it a little more.

I also thought I'd bring up the idea about high-resolution maps again. It doesn't COST you anything more to put it in super high res, does it? It does take a bit more cartographer power, I'm sure, but I would surmise that these are, in fact, coming into the office at a very high resolution level anyway, right? For those of us with a desire to use minis, it would be totally awesome if you did it.

Hope you guys don't mind me revisiting this point. ;)


I too would like an official position on this.

Thanks.

The maps are great ... and if there were anyway to present them on mini scale that would fantastic!

Let me say the biggest boost to my game has been the npc portraits. Giving the pcs a picture of key npcs has really raised their sense of the world they are playing in.
