Dungeon #107/Polyhedron #166

[tmaaas]

Well, I just received Dungeon #107, and haven’t seen any other posts about it. So either I’m the first one, or really behind.

But just in case, here’s whats in it:

-----

Mellorn Hospitality by Russell Brown.
A wilderness/dungeon adventure for levels 6-10. 17 pages.

“Every seven years, the elven village of Mellorell hosts the Festival of Life, an opportunity to trade, shop, and celebrate with the folk of nearby lands. But a dark secret that could cost the life of fairgoers draws the heroes into a plot that leads all the way to Hades.”

-----

Test of the Smocking Eye (Adventure Path!) by David Noonan.
A planar adventure for levels 6-10. 31 pages.

The Shackled City Adventure Path continues! The Cagewights continue their manipulations of the city of Cauldron, making the PCs their latest pawns in a gambit that leads all the way to the Abyss. The heroes must complete the test of a deposed demon lord to ensure the safety of Cauldron and all its citizens.

Maps of Mystery:
Cyromancer’s Icicle Tower by Christopher West.
Chasm Crossing.

Critical Threats:
Evard, Debased Information Broker (World of Greyhawk).


Comics:

Polyhedron #166

First Watch: Player’s Guide to the Wilderlands[/] by Necromancer Games/Sword & Sorcery Studies.

RPGA News

Global Positioning: Public High School by Christopher West.

-----

Dead Man’s Quest by Graeme Davis.
A Freeport (D&D) adventure for 1st level characters. 19 pages.

Living pirates are a common enough hazard around the islands known as the Serpent’s Teeth. A dead one is even more trouble—especially when his treasure has been stolen.

Looks like there are effectively three adventures in “Dungeon” this issue. It’s pretty, though. Nice layout and art.

Monster Hunting the Department-7 Way by Rich Redman.
10 pages.

D20 Modern and Urban Arcana heroes will want to consult this handy guide to dealing with Shadow expressions.

Thanks for the listing. It's amusing that they're trying to deceive us with the number of adventures in this issue, sneaking one into Polyhedron!

Which # of the Adventure Path is this? 5 or 6? I've lost track! (I'm also a couple of issues behind subscribers...)

Cheers!

It's the 5th. It's also really strange... A real curve ball after the way the 4th ended.

I've been dying to know what they had in store. The writers left the 4th as a real cliff hanger.

OK, I was getting worried about Issue #107, I haven't gotten my copy yet and I was in my FLGS and they had it. I thought that subscribers got their copies before the stores. I was going to call Paizo to let them know that I hadn't received my copy. After reading your post tmaaas I should be receiving it sometime this coming week.

I guess it's in polyhedron because it's a freeport adventure, though I'm not sure exactly what the reasoning is.

It's support for a non-WOTC, non-D&D d20 product.

Yes, it's d20 and fantasy. No, it's not D&D, because Freeport isn't an officially licensed D&D product like, say, Warcraft or Kingdoms of Kalamar. Thus, support goes in Polyhedron.

That's my best guess, anyway. Maybe this will lay the ground for expanded non-WOTC d20 support in Polyhedron. I'd love to see some adventures or articles for, say, Nyambe, Gamma World, Traveller^20 or Arcana Unearthed.

I agree that this is a very cool development. I would very much like to see Poly start incorporating adventures from other settings. It would be the true D20 magazine that I envisioned when I first heard about it. So as long as we're thinking pie in the sky here, I'd like to put in a vote for adventures for Oathbound... and Midnight.

Hell, I still haven't gotten #106. #107's been at the FLGS for two weeks. I've notifed Paizo of the problem; as I'm aware of the backlog, I'm not surprised as the slow response.

Actually KoK is liscences by Wizards. It has the D&D logo on the front.
