	When [[Dungeons & Dragons 4th Edition]] was on the horizon, WotC chose not to renew Paizo's license - instead, they decided to change it to an internally produced online, PDF-format download digital magazine, which would cross-pollinate with their planned online gaming medium "D&D Insider". Announcements of the end of the physical magazines were released in April 2007, and the final issues were printed in September 2007. The first four issues of the new online format, #364 through #367, were published on WotC's website free of charge in June 2008. Starting with issue #368, full issues were only available to D&D Insider subscribers.

	To call Dragon's content "eclectic" is hardly doing it justice. Dragon has '''everything''' D&D related; new classes (base and prestige), races, monsters and many other subjects that could be used to enhance a Dungeons & Dragons game. A popular long-running column Sage Advice offered official answers to Dungeons & Dragons questions submitted by players. Other articles provided tips and suggestions for both players and Dungeon Masters (DMs). It sometimes discussed meta-gaming issues, such as getting along with fellow players. It also included a number of different gaming-related comic strips - TSR produced issues contained Knights of the Dinner Table, Finieous Fingers, What's New with Phil & Dixie, Wormy, Yamara and SnarfQuest, whilst WoTC produced issues containing Zogonia, strips of The Order of the Stick towards its final days, and continued the presentation of Nodwick and Dork Tower.

	Dragon was the launching point for any number of rules, spells, monsters, magic items, and other ideas that were incorporated into later official products of the Dungeons & Dragons game. Perhaps ''the'' biggest example of this was the actual [[Forgotten Realms]] campaign setting; although this giant amongst D&D worlds launched as an official product in 1987, it got its start as a series of world-lore articles that [[Ed Greenwood]] began submitting from the early 1980s.
