Manual of the Planes is here, just in time for some late-night holiday reading.

Talk about this article here.

I didn't expect much, given that it was an Editorial, but it really drew up short of being interesting by a significant margin. Really could have been free content since it was basically advertising.

One of the worst articles I have read. 553 words, including the closing questions paragraph. Did the author write that while waiting in line for his latte this morning? There was nothing in there worth reading and no information to speak of.

When it comes time for editorials I expect editorial content. Did you catch that content.

I can imagine that the folks over at WotC are really busy getting their actual jobs done and making sure that fans out there have the game they love and so probably don't have a ton of time in which to write the articles for us to read. I sympathize but if you plan to offer pay content it needs to be something worth paying for.

I would be happy to put my money where my mouth is, if someone at WotC is interested in sending me some preview material or something they want written then I would be happy to handle it for them.

He should have just talked about the holidays. December has barely started, and I already like this issue the least.

*Two previews advertise PHB2.
*Another Playtest article, this time for AV2.
*The editorial is an advertisement for MotP.

Here's to hoping that the three original articles are that good to at least make this issue far from being the advertisement issue. I'm looking forward to the Mercykillers, and the Agents of Tiamat would hopefully make for some good draconic-themed villains.

All in all, I remain optimistic even if it has been disappointing so far.
