1. That's sad news

Back when I role-played, I loved Dragon, especially for the comics like Snarfquest and What's New?

But I see the point about the internet as competition - it's just cheaper to go online. Phil Foglio publishes Girl Genius as a web comic and then sells TPB collections, which seems to work for them.

So, does that make Knights of the Dinner Table the last RPG mag???

2. Suckage...major suckage

I'll miss their April issues...the humor was great.
