It only took a suspicious 7 minutes for a response:http://boards1.wizards.com/showthread.p ... 713&page=3You'd think they realize they messed up and fix it, but they'd rather spar with me over semantics. I think it'll be a fun week!

Dragon Magazine did not go peacefully into the night, it was kidnapped, butchered and exploited as a hostage of the powers in control. To think that this evolution is somehow natural and warranted without any sort of outrage and anger is jacked up. Where are you at?

What You Won't Find Here:Much information at all on items produced 1990 and later. The primary focus of The Acaeum is on items of collectible value; the sad fact is that most items produced after the mid 1980's are pretty much still going for cover price at auctions. Info on playing D&D. There's a plethora of other web sites that cover every possible aspect of playing this game, as well as provide homemade modules, accessories, etc. The Acaeum was created in response to a perceived need for hard data on collecting D&D materials. We are the only known web site on the Internet currently doing so.
