Why can't you buy it? The more people who buy Dragon specifically for D20 content, the more D20 content they'll put in Dragon.

I dropped my subscription to Dragon after 14yrs the day they announced[0] they were cancelling Role-Playing Reviews, because i had been justifying to myself the cost of the magazine on the strengths of that column, the only thing i had found reliably high-quality for the previous year or three. As soon as Dragon starts carrying official acknowledgement of the rest of the RPG world, i'll consider buying it again[1]. I don't care if, in practice, there's less than one article per issue on other games, so long as it's because they're trying to get other content and the articles aren't submitted, rather than because they refuse to carry them.


[0] well, ok, not that day--i first made an impassioned plea, and then merely didn't renew--i have no idea how many issues i received after that point, but it wasn't very many.
[1] There's a good chance i still won't buy it if it primarily supports D20 System, stuff, especially if it focuses on WotC games (i think D&D3E and D20M are particularly poor examples of a game system i'm merely look-warm on to begin with), since i mostly play *much* less-crunchy RPGs, and prefer fluff to crunch in my magazine articles. But i'll at least *consider* giving them my money once they change their exclusivist stance.

There once was a young girl from Gwent,
Who was trying to put up a tent.
   She banged at the peg,
   It went straight through her leg,
And right after that happened she went
("AAaargh!")
