Rocco,
Thanks for the response but I had already sent you the PayPal payment before you had a chance to post.
My additional 2 cents on the magazine -
Loved the layout! It looks to be very professionally done. I have to admit that I went in a bit skeptical and have to admit I very happily surprised.
Before I comment on the remainder I think I have to throw my one negative in because it will explain my thoughts on the rest of the magazine. From the name I thought it would be a bit of a throw back to D&D's roots as well. I see that it was your goal to go back to the old style of Dragon magazine. On that basis, you did a really great job. I believe this misunderstanding was entirely my fault.
Artwork - great! You might want to note it for more mature players.
Maps - great! Of course, with Kepli working on them what else would you expect.
What's Your Story? - A very handy article and is something I intend to tweak slightly for use with the older rules.
Be Thee for Law or Chaos - Another very good, handy article regardless of which version you use.
4th Edition Queries - My favorite article! It addresses my biggest disappointments with the d20 version of D&D and actually has me excited about version 4.0 coming out! Thanks! (PS - With this being said, I vote for making the swap to 4.0 once it is available but this is subject to change once I actually get to see it.)
Working Your Way Up To First Level - An excellent idea for issue #0. I also like the way that a lot of this first issue was geared toward lower level characters. Was this intentional? Are the initial issues going to follow this same trend of the articles advancing slightly in level with each issue?
A Day at the Fair - an interesting idea for a module and the whole Zero to Hero concept is the main reason I'm seriously considering a subscription. I love the way you use the module to teach the basics of the game as well. (And a new monster to boot!)
Overall, 4.5 out of 5!  |

Another good review. I'm glad you liked it.
Could you please post this review at ENWorld in this thread:
http://www.enworld.org/showthread.php?t=220783
or
start your own. I would be very grateful if you did.
It was intentional to have everything 0th or low level for our 0th level issue ;)
In future issues I will have, material allowed, theme based issues like all about dragons, artifacts, etc. There is a good chance that most of the material will follow along the lines of the campaign arc until I get a more source material.

Okay, I updated the website and placed Dundjinni in the front lines of resources. I also posted some quotes and links to where I got those reviews. If you are still on the fence, this should knock you over.

Sorry, guys.
I've tried to get into my Enworld account and for some reason can't get my password reset and I'm having trouble getting a new account set up since I have the same email address. 
You are more than welcome to copy my review and paste it there on my behalf.

Hi DM Rocco. Just wanted to let you know that the link to Dundjinni on the DR site is bad. I figured I would let you know before Kepli checked.

WTF, there is no pleasing you people
Okay, the link works now.
Kelpi, if you don't mind, you can post the review. I already have a link to it on my website.

Kelpi - A large multicolored seaweed, vine-like in appearance.
