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. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f61b.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":p" title="Stick out tongue    :p"  data-smilie="7"data-shortname=":p" /> 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 <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" /> ), 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 <img src="http://www.enworld.org/forum/images/smilies/laugh.png"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":lol:" title="Laughing    :lol:" data-shortname=":lol:" /> )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.-Griff</blockquote>
