If you're a disenchanted (former) DDI subscriber hoping that Wizards of the Coast will revive the paper-format Dragon and Dungeon magazines, here's some bad news for you.

In a recent editorial, Steve Winter stated:

We’re committed to digital publishing for Dragon and Dungeon online. This medium offers many possibilities that we’ve yet to explore and raises questions that we’ve yet to answer. Is a web-based periodical that publishes stand-alone, unbundled articles still a magazine? If so, it’s a different model for the 21st century. If not, then what is it? Regardless of your answer, it’s here to stay . . . until the next new form comes along.

Throughout the editorial, Winter explains the inconvenient truth of the decline of paper publishing -- will future editions of D&D rulebooks be entirely digital? I can't imagine D&D without holding a solid tome in my hands.
