To all those who cannot get in, I would repost the article...but its about 15 pages long!

Mr. Jacobs, good stuff...but then again, Nyrlathotep, Locki, Grazzt it doesn't really get any better then that.

Good, good, good article! Gorgeous artworks (I wish I had all the artworks from the print Dragons in that size!)! Kudos to you, Mr. Jacobs, and props to Jason Engle.

Cheers, LT.

I've captured it in my Google notebook. I could make it public for a spell...

Yes, I do have to say this is the first article in the new format that has the quality of the old dragon articles. The others look more like the free content that used to be offered a year ago.

Not sure what that means. The web enhancements content in general was never very different from a Dragon article in quality or content IMO. Especially the product tie-in Dragon articles.

I'd say this one, the Dukes of Hell and the Ecology of the Death-knight would have been high quality articles in any issue of Dragon. The Dragonmarked and dragon hoard articles are much less useful to me, but still of the same calibre Dragon used to put out.

So far, and now that we've got almost enough content to equal a single issue, I'm finding the online Dragon to be just as good as the print Dragon was.

Not as convenient, though. I hope they release pdf versions of the articles, or of the complete magazine as a whole.

Wow, I was underwhelmed by the art, to be honest. It reminds me of, well, I am not sure what it reminds me of, to be honest. Sort of low budget CGI meets old RPG art. Not impressed by the art. I have not had a chance to fully read the article, so I cannot comment on the text yet.

I know this is a matter of taste (de gustibus non est disputandum and all that), but I have absolutely no idea how you could have arrived at your conclusion.

Honestly baffled.

As you said, it's entirely a matter of taste. I can't really explain why I do not like the art, and the description I gave is a poor example, but it's the best I can do. I don't know, the art just looks bad to me. Not my taste at all.

Fantastic work as always, James!

If this is to be your swan song in Dragon, it's a damn fine one.

This is what I was worried would happen. Because of an eye injury I have slight double-vision and it makes too much screen reading painful. I have to cut one of my favorite articles from Dragon into small bite-sized chunks instead of devouring it all at once. What I read though, I did enjoy. I wonder how much it'd cost to have a printer make professional copies of these, I can't do it justice at home as I have just a black/white printer.

My sentiments exactly.

James - thank you for adding such wonderful depth to the D&D canon!!!!

(From this and all other similar articles you've written.)

Awesome article and artwork, James and Jason! Great read!

Fixed, sorry: but I'm surprised that it was even a problem (1000px isn't exactly huge...)

Anyway, thanks to James Jacobs for letting us in on the Graz'zt's dad issue, too!
