Message: <blockquote data-quote="Alzrius" data-source="post: 1623781" data-attributes="member: 8461">Dungeon magazine is the pre-made adventure magazine.Dragon magazine is the supplementary rules magazine (rules meaning new spells, monsters, races, classes, magic items, etc).Both magazines are specifically concerned with D&D only, no other d20 games, even those from WotC, are included. That means no D20 Modern, no anything from third-party publishers, etc.In terms of specific campaigns, you'll mostly only find material about the current WotC campaigns, that is Greyhawk, Forgotten Realms, and now a new focus on Eberron. However, in any given magazine, they won't devote much (and sometimes not any) material to a specific world, because they know not everyone uses that, so quite a bit of material will be generic.Specifically relating to your 3.5E PS (with a dash of FR) campaign, it's hard to say if it'll be worth it for you or not. Dragon usually does a "planes" theme issue once a year, along with some articles that are FR-based (such as Faiths of Faerun), and FR adventures (and adventures that, while not PS-specific, have a planar influence, if not location) happen irregularly in Dungeon.However, there are plenty of other articles that and adventures in both that you could find useful. Issue #321 of Dragon (itself a planar-themed issue), had a great article on guns in D&D, which could be useful to you due to both the odd weapons on the planes, and the slow spread of smokepowder throughout the Realms due to influence from Lantan. The generic articles (and adventures) cannot be overlooked in that regard.Dungeon did have a section called Polyhedron which often had materials for D20 Modern, but as of issue #114 (#113 is the current issue) this is being phased out.The adventures in Dungeon are all over the map, with no real set of levels favored more than any other (at least, not in my opinion). The materials in Dragon, being supplementary additions, could theoretically be used at almost any level, depending on the CR of a new monster, the level of new spells, etc.Dungeon, with the exception of the multipart Adventure Path saga it's been running (and, historically, a few other exceptions), has different and unrelated adventures every month. Dragon operates on a monthly theme (i.e. "the planes", "urban adventures" "dragons" etc), but even then not every article is thematically done.I find both magazines very fun to read, and enjoy the artwork in them quite a bit.I'm bad to ask, since I haven't run a game in a few years, but there is definately something in these magazines for everyone.</blockquote>
