The long running Dungeon and the even longer-running Dragon magazine is now being discontinued.

Wizards has decided to just do on-line only articles. Paizo's coming out with some replacement product.

I'm showing my age but I'm sad that Dragon magazine is going away. This thing lasted about 30 years. In the dawn of D&D and the role-playing industry is was the chief periodical covering the hobby. I have the first 250 issues on CD-ROM, and you can see a lot of the history of the hobby.

Looks like there's a lot of sad people--probably a bunch of drunk people last night. (Also, the writer of the second version of "Basic D&D", Tom Molvday, passed away around the same time, so there's a definite sadness in the air).

Just one more sign of how things change.

Aww sad.gif That was a great magazine, my father started reading it when it came out, and I used to read all his old collections. I've now got every issue for the first five years together, most of them still in decent shape. Might be worth a nice penny now that they are discontinuing.

It (they, rather) will be missed.
