Hi! Just got my Dragon in the mail, and I've only had a chance to skim through it but it looks like it'll be a good one. Some of the things that caught my eye flipping through it:
A DDM map "Drow Outpost" is included in the package- I'm not a DDM player so I can't comment much on it's usefulness but it's certainly impressive looking.
A picture of a "Marut Inevitable", "Xorn", and "Mounted Drow" from the upcomming Underdark mini's set- I've seen the latter two in one of the previews at the wizards sight but I haven't seen the Marut before. It looks like a very nice sculpt.
D&D II: Wrath of the Dragon God- This campy D&D movie aired last Saturerday on Sci-fi channel and is being released on DVD in November. What a didn't know was that they will be including a low level adventure "brought to you by Dungeon Magazine", which weaves into the movies plot. I was gonna pick this up anyway, but here's another reason.
Monsters of the Mind: minions of the mind flayers- This article gives us five new monsters; Brainstealer Dragon, Illithocyte, Mind Worm, Nerve Swimmers (a swarm
), and Ustilagor, along with psionic varients for those of us who use the XPH, and tips for incorperating these monsters into Faerun and Eberron.
Demonomicon of Iggwilv: Zuggtmoy- A massive article with stats for the lady of fungi, her avatar, history and goals, her cult, some new plant monsters and a new prestige class "Thrall of Zuggtmoy".
Eternal Evil: The Lords of Dust- Written by Keith Baker, I'm looking forward to reading though this article first (I love Eberron
)At a glance it looks like we get some history of the LoD, their Organiztion, 5 "Dark Lords" (not Rajahs, but fiends active on Eberron!) and Adventure hooks.
The Ecology of the Shadar-Kai- I know next to nothing about Shadar-Kai so I'm looking forward to sinking my teeth into this one.
Bazaars of the Bazarre: Buying Magic in the free city- This article looks like it follows with the Age of Worms adventure path. I don't have a subscription to Dungeon so I don't know much about Age of Worms, but I'll be swiping some stuff from this for my homebrew. I like the three pages of "Magic Face Paints", single uses magic items created with the Craft Wonderous Item feat.
Sage advise is totally devoted to the Alter self-Polymorph line of spells.
Class Acts- The things that jumped out at me were, Halfling Wizard substitution levels, [purification] feats that are powered by a paladins Remove Disease ability, and The "Spell Graft" feat, which lets a sorcerer sacrifice one of their spells known to gain supernatural abilities based on the spell they sacrificed.
Well, I'm going to grab some dinner and sit down to give it a good read. I'll check back later tonight if anyone has any questions I can try to answer them.
