Dragon Monster 3.5 Update article


Dragon Magazine General Discussion


You know what would be good? An article similar in fashion to the 3.5 Update Booklet for Monster Manual II, but for Dragon's monsters pre-3.5 issues. From #274 to whenever the first issue of 3.5 began (forgot which).

There are quite a list of monsters that could use the update, and doing it via update booklet style will ensure that not so many pages will be taken up.


sure, that would be useful. :)


That could put you out of business BOZ. ;)

hardly! :)

i don't do updates from 3.0 to 3.5 for official products, so it wouldn't affect me at all. ;)


While it would be cool, its probably not likely for several reasons.

1) The monsters tend to end up in Monster Manuals, FR Supplements, etc., and get updated then.

2) Some of these monsters will undoubtedly appear in future Dragon Compendium volumes, updated then.

3) It requires owning previous issues, and offers no value to a new subscriber who doesn't have any of these issues, so could be considered a page waster. (Of course, they did include a multi-page Oriental Adventures update, so this isn't necessarily a definitive reason).

a fraction of them, no doubt. ;)

that part has the most truth to it. however, i still don't think that it would be a bad idea to print an update. just skip the ones that have been fixed elsewhere! :)


I usually don't worry about updates unless it's something really important.


They could post it on this website as a Dragon web enhancement?


that would actually probably work a whole lot better. ;)


Exactly, and also, if WotC ever needed to grab a couple monsters from the pages of Dragon that were 3.0 but not 3.5, well, the job's been done for them! :D


The Dragon Staff are silent on this matter it seems...I wonder what they have planned? :D
