I voted wait and see. I can see good and bad. When I read Dragon, I'd be kind of peeved if it was online only. It just isn't that portable as a digital product, and I don't like the idea of printing everything out. Now I wouldn't mind it as much. I'd put it on Lappy and be good to go.

I haven't read Dragon since college. I still read Nodwick online though, so I guess this is a good change for me.

I'm not a fan of reading zines or books on the internet or a computer at all. I'm also not a fan of watching a 20 minute or longer video on a computer. If the computer is hooked up to a TV and I'm in my recliner, this last is fine. Reading zines and books electronically still sucks, though. Sorry Codex...
I've always been crazy, but it's kept me from going insane.

If this was 12 years ago and I still played D&D, I wouldn't be too happy about it. Although it does say its going to be an online publication now, there are a lot of quality online zines; the HSCodex just to name one.

Being that I don't play D&D and am now a Board Gamer, I'm more upset that Games Quarterly is going to cease publication. I was looking forward to getting board game expansions and not having to buy a German gaming magazine to do it.

I hate this. I've been buying Dragon as well as Dungeon for my own games. I've got a massive collection of clippings of my favorite articles in a notebook, essentially making one of the most-referenced D&D books in my collection. Plus, I love sitting back in an armchair and reading gaming goodness.

I used to read Dragon back in the day just for the game ideas even when I didn't play AD&D. I guess it is a sign of the changing times. I don't mind reading online at all, so I'll take a look; even if it is just for nostalgia's sake.

You wouldn't happen to have a copy of the old Dragon Mirth with devil making a snow angel and the other devil says, "WHAT IN THE HELL ARE YOU DOING?", do you? If you do, could you send me a copy of it, please?

Good stuff. No, once I've finished reading one of those mags they get cut up and only bits and pieces survive.
