WTF is up with dragon making its articles web links??????

the entire psion power section links to the compendium now? not only is it completly craptasticly hard to read these ON THE GO now, they had to go and make it so you need a web conection to even view the articles now??
even after downloading the complete issue!!!

thats just stupid

Except for the portability/printable part, it sounds like a brilliant move. Why typeset that many things when it's already accessible in other locations?

WotC already stated they are going back to the article format with all the information self-contained. While this change did not affect the Psion PH3 preview, it did go into effect for the Githzerai preview released today.

I quite enjoyed the fact that they sacrificed printing those mechanics in exchange for the commentaries by the designers. I love hearing their thoughts on the how's and the why's of it!

The commentary is still there in this month's PH3 preview with the mechanics in the article so apparently it wasn't an either/or situation.

You had to post in one thread about the very same subject, and then start a new thread?

I don't think there's a tremendous pressure for keeping the page count down ;)

They tried it out, almost everyone said they didn't like it, they decided not to do it again.
