This month's Dungeon - no adventures?

[Glyfair]

Did I miss something or does November's Dungeon have no adventures? I understand the idea that they are just getting building up to the level they want when they formally launch (i.e. charge for it). However, going from two largish adventures to no adventures seems awfully...wrong.

We have just a week left in the month and no adventures in sight. Has anyone heard anything on the WotC forums. I admit, they have become so annoying lately I have been reading them even less than I did.

Well, they might design some adventures for us, once we're done voting, as discussed in this thread, but, yeah, kind of slow.

The other thing is that the issues of Dungeon and Dragon are now every-other-month while they are getting their act together. We still don't have the compiled October issues yet, either, which were due at the start of November.

I was under the impression that they are supposed to be semi-monthly online periodicals until they launch DDI.

They are saying that the next issue (rolling out between now and Dec 31st):

Dungeon #152 will feature all-new D&D adventures by long-time designers Ari Marmell ("Last Breaths of Ashenport") and Robert Schwalb ("Essence of Evil"), plus a pair of Side Treks by D&D designer David Noonan. Plus, new Dungeoncraft, Save My Game, and Roll vs. Role installments will be arriving shortly, plus an adventure tie-in to the new Forgotten Realms product Anauroch: The Empire of Shade.

An adventure tie-in to an adventure? That's strange.

Many people complained that the Yuan-Ti adventure web enhancement didn't belong attached to Dragon and should have been in Dungeon. That's probably what this is.

*shekes head* Once again WOTC drops the ball with the online stuff. Come on, get your act together.

When are they going to start charging for this?

I don't know they've been specific, but I believe they said not until 4E is out. So, June at the earliest.

That's a good thing as I saw precious little in the 1st editions of either E-Drag or E-Dun that I would have wanted to pay for.

How have they dropped the ball?

They stated from the beginning that it was going to be an every other month periodical, with articles (Dragon) and adventures (Dungeon) coming out during the two month stretch. These are the November-December issues. Still a whole month to go.

Now, I agree that they were supposed to compile the Sept-Oct articles into single PDFs for download and they haven't yet. But I can still view these articles online, so it's no skin of my back.
