The Dungeon Magazien Adventure Path begins with this adventure. The PCs start in the troubled city of Cauldron and quickly become embroiled in the city's darker side. Some children have gone missing from the local orphanage - the latest in a string of strange disappearances. It's up to the characters to brave the dark undersid of Cauldron and discover what has happened to the city's missing citizens before more people vanish.
For four 1st level PCs.

Two other adventures:
Heart of the Iron God by Campbell Pentney
An ancient, massive construct has appeared in the land, destroyign villages and sending people fleeing from home in a panic.
For four 13th level PCs.

Demonblade by Hank Woon
Is the price of a soul a fair tradde for immortality if your essence is subsumed by evil? This sounds REALLY familiar...
For four 16th level PCs.

Polyhedron #156 contents:
V for Victory (changed from Dogface)
by Chris Pramas
Load up your rifle and enlist for V for Victory, a stand-alone d20 game of World War II combat. Lead a band of troops up Omaha Beach, storm the streets of Stalingrad, or liberate a Pacific island from the clutches of the Empire of Japan. V for Victory casts players in the role of infantry, allowing you a ground's eye view of the war that shaped today's world. Designed by origins Award-winner and Green Ronin publisher Chris Pramas, the game includes more than a dozen new feats, rules to simulate basic training, and a modified combat system with expanded rules on cover and modern weapons.

No argument from me. I like it.

I'm looking forward to Pramas's take on WWII.

Dogface sounds very interesting. I'll take the Urban Combat Specialist feat please. SPR, here we come.

Adventure Path? I'm assuming this means an adventure published in each issue that is linked to the previous one. Sounds like a damn good idea to me.

Heart of the Iron God by Campbell Pentney

For four 13th level PCs.

Hrm, that sounds suspiciously like thingy in Greyhawk... damn, I can't recall the proper name at the moment, something like the Machine of Lum the Mad or Leuk-O.

Heh, I wouldn't know much about the whole Poly vs. Dungeon combo thing since I've never been a big Dungeon buyer and have never seen an issue of Poly, however this sounds DAMN cool and, well, this is one of those rare times that I'm actually motivated to buy something based on a brief description off the net. Maybe it's just 'cause I'm a history buff and the idea of playing a once-off in WWII is cool to me. Whatever, this ROCKS!

 

[Katerek]

Hmmm

The Doomgrinder, Elric, and Band of Brothers all in one issue?

wow.

Sounds fun. Personally, I am just glad to see the higher level focus stuff.

they need to do an all Epic issue.

 

[Kobold Avenger]

Dungeon 97 was said to have some material from the revisions (whatever that may be) and some monsters from Fiend Folio. So is there anything that you noticed that could be from those sources?

 

[EricNoah]

Today's news mentions another adventure, and a Critical Threat.

The adventure mentions an ettin-wight. Perhaps the wight template is in the new 3.5 MM?

I thought it was refering to the Adventure Path as a whole, not necessarily all parts...

So nothing except this mentioning of an ettin-wight?
