What would you like to see in Dungeon?

BTW Why put Order of the Stick in Dungeon? You can get it off the web.

That´s why it says "Original OotS". It would be pretty cool if they could do it Nodwick-Style.

Good lord, we are rapidly approaching "poll overkill" on this board. Enough already. If the topic is open-ended like this one, a poll is counter-productive.

Personally, I think new monsters belong in Dungeon, not Dragon where they currently appear. Dungeon is for DM's, DM's are the ones who use monsters. It just makes sense.

I'd like to see more generic adventures that vary more in levels of magic or "the fantastic" I like adventures that are more courtly intrigue based or "fantasy crime story" types....it would be refreshing to see adventures where almost all the npcs are human, or at least pc races, and the wouldn't involve any spelunking or 10' poles whatsoever. If a rash of these types of adventures have appeared recently in Dungeon and I have missed them through lack of attention then please forgive me in advance

What I'd really like is something along the lines of "Encounter Locations": just a one-page description of a locale (which could be anything from "bridge over lava pit" to "dam over lake" to "moving train"), complete with rules that make it useable as a backdrop for a fight. This is where you could get really, really creative, since the DMG only provides a handful of locations - and those have been done to death, I think. Maybe provide a picture or map, too (or even make it a fold-out battlemap for extra ooh factor!).

Other than that, I like Dungeon just fine .

I'd love to see adventurers, npc close-ups, plot hooks and swag (Dragon has it, why not dungeon?). I'd love for Wil Save to come back. I'd also like to see Side Treks make a comeback.

A few urban adventures would be cool. I have noticed that almost every low-to-mid-level Dungeon adventure over the last few months had a hook that involved stopping gangs of bandits harrassing the countryside. One area where Dungeon may be turning off potential consumers unnecessarily is projecting the image that it's just for dungeon-crawlers.

Very good suggestons.

I would also like to see some Forgotten Realms adventures. A lot of dungeons are briefly described in FR supplements, so expanding on them in Dungeon would be great. That has happened before, with the lair of Benzig-Gorag or whatever the guy's name was (the two-headed slaad lord).

And by other, I mean more Mt Zogon, and Downer.
An unpopular position, but I'll take it.

 

[Nighthawk]

I am also one of those people who like Critical Threats and Maps of Mystery.

I am very pleased with how Dungeon is turning out, which is a pleasant surprise. This is because I liked it before, so the unexpected improvement is a welcome bonus.

Wild-elf girls "gone wild" pictorials?

As someone who just let his Dungeon subscription lapse for the first time in YEARS... I would like to see shorter adventures, because when I rarely use the Dungeon adventures, it's because I don't have something else prepared, or I need something on the side, and I'd love to be able to just pick it up, read the basic idea, and run with it. I've found that I can't do that lately.

The other thing I would love is more epic adventures. No d20 company is providing Epic adventures, and I know my players' characters are getting close to being epic, and they are going to want things to do. As someone who relies on modules due to lack of time on my part, having some epic adventures ready to pool from would be great when the time comes...



Thanks
