I don't know that they're going to publish multiple Expeditions that are essentially super-dungeons. With Expedition to Undermine on the schedule, I'd guess that sucks up the super-dungeon market for a while.

Unless it is, as I suspect, Year of the Dungeon. Expedition to... Castle Ravenloft, the Demonweb Pits, Undermountain...no reason they won't do more, eh?

But just think, with a 3.5 Expedition to WG7, we could finally have Wayne Reynolds draw Fluffy, and maybe even get a mini for Fluffy as well! Wouldn't that be great? *glee*
Ya! And you can buy your gummy werebear minis from the local corner store. When you kill one, you get to eat the mini. ;-)

Don't you mean Dangerous Dimensions? What is the need to use the DJ name now?

Not really. Too much chance of confusing it with Dungeons & Dragons. (Which is why JVC (Remember them?) forced the name change to Dangerous Dimensions). Let's compormise and use Col. Pladoh's original name, Infinite Adventures.

Infinite Adventures:
Mythus 2nd Edition

Whats a Fluffy? He asks in a noobish kinda voice.

"Fluffy Goes Down the Drain" was an adventure in WG7 Castle Greyhawk. Synopsis: a little girl accidently flushes her puppy down the toilet. It ends up beneath Castle Greyhawk, where Juiblex (who had been subleasing a level of the dungeon) claims it. The PCs have to negotiate with Juiblex to get the puppy back, which he is willing to do in exchange for an invitation to the big dance. Juiblex is the belle of the ball, Fluffy is returned, and everyone is happy.

It is by far the greatest D&D adventure of all time.

A large portion of Ravenloft focuses on the outside the castle stuff you do to prepare for Strahd. The Demonweb Pits isn't a crawl through the Underdark, it's a plane-hopping adventure. Both are very different from a giant dungeon under/near a city, which will be Undermountain.

Given that WotC doesn't want to publish a Greyhawk campaign setting because it'll potentially cannibalize sales of the Forgotten Realms campaign setting, I can't see how two big megadungeon crawls will be so distinct in the minds of the casual buyer as to not have the exact same problem.

Considering how many classic modules are out there that DON'T fit that paradigm, I think we're much more likely to see the A or G series revisited before Castle Greyhawk.

It may well happen, but I wouldn't bet on it.

Right you are, rip! As you've already described, the plot is inspired. The adventure (which has a map consisting of 2 corridors and 2 rooms) is also particularly great because of the new material it contributes to the game.

New monsters presented include hot mustard jelly, olive and pimento slime, crystal lite ooze (is there a trademark violation there?), and chocolate fudge pudding.

It also contributes significant new background material on Juiblex himself... including such gems as how "as a boy, Juiblex was teased and taunted by the other young demons who used to laugh and call him names (Scum Face or Barf Breath being the most popular). They never let poor Juiblex join in any demonic games." It also presents a fairly detailed description of Juiblex's talisman ("a small glass jar that once contained catfish bait and now contains his vital essence").

Its not like the normally thorough Ed, James and Erik to mess up like that, but they seem to have accidentally left all of that important canonical material out of the Fiendish Codex I!!! Shameful!!! I'm very disappointed in them. It was highly unprofessional.

Loads of edition-independent Greyhawk goodness... maps, magic, mysteries, mechanics, and more!
 

Maybe it's Expedition to Puppets. Or Fiendish Codex III: Imagination of Rose Estes. :p

In seriousness, I'm guessing it's either related to Castle Greyhawk, or maybe something that can tie in the fate of Rauxes... and brings in an obscure hero-deity of the Flanaess.

While I've played for many years I'm not familiar with older modules.

All you need to know is, "WG7 bad". It was the version of Castle Greyhawk that was published as a joke, essentially, after Gygax was forced out of TSR.

Imagine, if you will, Apple Computer in its post-Steve Jobs phase producing a computer called a "Raspberry" that made fart noises everytime you typed, just to make fun of Jobs. It's about like that.
 

Why all the expeditions to castles? It's not as if those things would move around a lot and you'd have to go find them again all the time.

So, I think this will be Expedition to Castle Greyskull. We have been without Eternia d20 for too long now!
