Previews for Dungeon 140 and Dragon 349 - November 2006

Little blurbs from the latest Previews magazine, which may or may not indicate what will actually end up in the magazines:

November 2006

Dragon 139
In this issue, Outlanders and Outsiders collide! A complete "Hordelands Gazetteer" details
the horse nomads of the Forgotten Realms, and the Demonomicon of Iggwilv returns
with a look at Dagon: Prince of the Darkened Depths.

Dungeon 140
This issue includes the second installment in the highly anticipated "Savage Tide" Adventure
Path, as well as “The Return of Graymalkin Academy,” an adventure featuring a wizard’s
school reminiscent of Harry Potter’s Hogwarts.

Other previews from previous posts:

October 2006

Dragon 138
This issue brings Dragon’s popular and long-running horror theme,
and is sure to provide scares in the form of Core Beliefs: Vecna, Eberron’s “Horrors of
the Daelkyr,” Ecology of the Wight, and articles on curses and variant vampires.

Dungeon 139
This blockbuster issue marks the beginning of the "Savage Tide" Adventure Path, a 12-issue
complete campaign that will take characters from the popular Isle of Dread to the heart of
the Abyss for a confrontation with Demogorgon, Prince of Demons! This issue includes a
free poster map and all the information you need to kick off the new campaign in style!

September 2006

Dragon 137
Special features on air, earth, fire, and water. Brave the treacherous hazards of the Inner Planes, face off against paraelemental monsters, learn the intriguing history of the Princes of Elemental Good and Evil, and explore Eberron's Sunless Feoral with setting creator Keith Baker.

Dungeon 138
Dungeon's special 20th Anniversary issue is packed with a complete adventure index and four exciting D&D adventures! Pit your problem-solving skills against a horde of adventurers in "Challenge of Champions VI," the latest installment of the popular series, and take a trip backwards in Dungeon's past with a revised edition of "Mud Sorcerer's Tomb," ranked the best Dungeon adventure by a panel of experts back in issue #116's popular "30 Greatest Adventures of All Time" feature.

Yeah, Dagon!

Ooh...and Hordelands stuff...and it isn't even the Campaign Classics issue yet...sweet!

And suddenly, that thread a bit ago looking for the author of this adventure makes perfect sense to me. ;-)

No kidding! That issue looks particularly fantastic.

Interesting to see a remake of Mud Sorcerer's Tomb - while getting a well-deserved ranking (as I said before, both of Mike Shel's appearances in Dungeon were really great), I'm not particularly keen on remakes... but it's very cool to see that there'll be four adventures in that issue. Way awesome.

The Inner Planes issue looks great as well. Lots of stuff to look forward to.

That Hordelands Gazateer sounds pretty sweet, will be nice to read about what's happened since Yamun Khahan's defeat. And a Demonomicon on Dagon too. Not sure how much use I'll get out of that, but the Demonomicon articles are wonderful to read regardless.

Everything else coming up sounds good too (well minus the Eberron content that is, but I'm sure the Eberronites are salivating over those articles). Keep up the good work Eric and James!

Those numbers look like they're off by 210. The content is interesting, though.

I hope we get a bit of Dagon in the Savage Tide, since he seems a good fit for at least a supporting role.

When was the first Graymalkin adventure? I'd like to grab these for a Redhurst game.

Mmmmm, Vecna.

The title is a little misleading. This is the first Graymalkin adventure. "The Return of Graymalkin" refers to the way that the adventure opens (i.e. it's a plot device).

Ah, rock and roll. You're picking up a customer for this issue because of it, if that has any bearing on the prospect of sequels or related material.
