Anyway, this issue is 132 pages long and comes with a poster-sized map of mystery by Chris West that shows an entire game world with all the maps of mystery he's ever done for Dungeon located on the world map.

Well now I'm sold on the issue. Actually, I was sold on it from the start, but this just makes me more excited. I love poster maps, especially ones of game worlds!

Please make this into an art print. I would love to hang right next to my Dungeon 124 cover.

I second this. As the last in a wonderful run, I would love to frame it on my wall, too.

Simply put - Magnificent!

Anyone have theres yet?

If the precedent set by the past three issues holds, I don't expect to see it before the 7th, right at the 2 week mark.

I'm still waiting with much anticipation. Of course, I am also biting my nails down to the nubs waiting for the first Pathfinder.

I got the last issue of Dragon in 4 days, including the US holiday, so I was hoping I would have this issue of Dungeon already, but so far I've not seen it. Usually Dungeon takes about 10-12 days to show up, so I figure realistically it'll show up on Saturday.

They definitely need to come out with a mini of Demogorgon. (And while they're at it, Adimarchus and Kyuss). They would make fantastic Icons, and I know I'd want the roaring visage of the Prince of Demons over another dragon any day! However, as this is probably not going to occur, what would you suggest as a miniature to represent the bringer of the Savage Tide?

Ah, good; then I should get mine by September...I love Alaska.

Yes! My copy just shipped from the Paizo warehouse...

With some luck I should have this by next week. Now the question is which will happen first: Pathfinder 1# PDF available, or Dungeon 150 in my mailbox? What do I read first if they both arrive at the same time?

150 arrived this morning. Looks good so far. I've given it just a quick look.

Just scanned through 150, and it has some great things - the final Demogorgon adventure looks very interesting and fun. And I love the index!

But one thing stood out as being weird (at least to me). There's an unusual one-page ad from WotC, a completely black page with white text that says "Thank you" with "Paizo" written in red as one of the bars of a letter. I'm not sure what it is visually about the ad, but it came across as a little... creepy! Anyone else have a similar reaction? It's just so odd-looking, it really stands out in a weird way. I mean, it's nice that they wanted to thank Paizo, but it's a bit like a murderer delivering a eulogy at a wake, LOL.

For years. And I do mean years... (I just checked 1988...!...) I have been seeking to one day get myself published in DUNGEON magazine. I eventually came up with three concepts, and wrote them all out. Giant Problems was the first one, and I even managed to "beta test" it with two players. Anyway, after working some things out and sending it on over - it came back with a lot of red ink on it. I wasn't discouraged however, because my mind is always racing, and sometime later I had come up with Of Rats And Men (about were-rats), and sent that on. Ironically, they declined, because two issues later they put out Dungeon #14, which featured were-rats. Timing is everything. And this time, it wasn't in my favor. It would be nearly ten years later, before I'd try again with a new module called What Haunts The Hollow Fields? - but again, timing worked against me - and a monster I had used as the main creature in the module was planned to be used (and released in issue #67). Third Edition AD&D was something I never wrapped my head all the way around, so once it came into the picture, my dreams of being published in Dungeon Magazine greatly diminished. And as if the fates were not cruel enough, I thought I would one day be the first with the last name Logue to appear in Dungeon Magazine (being such a rare last name) - but no. In issue #102, a Nicolas Logue appears. And what does the module deal with? Of all things, wolves, my favorite animals! (Oh yes! I see you in this thread Nicolas! *waves to a fellow Logue!*) Well, my hopes would be crushed again, when Wizards of the Coast announced that they would be ending both Dragon and Dungeon Magazine publication. So today, Dungeon Magazine #150 came in. The last issue of Dungeon. I was torn. It featured Demogorgon (old school AD&D players know him!) - and not only that, he featured the most hit points ever published in Dungeon Magazine. I remember reading in #149 that they were thinking of doing this - and I had wrote them an email saying what an excellent idea that was. As I thumbed through issue #150 - something caught my eye. A spelling not commonly seen - "Tawmis." I flipped back - and as it turned out, the last letter on the letter page is from me! I was floored. So in a way, I finally made it into Dungeon Magazine. Not how I had wanted - but it was great - that in the last issue, the last letter on the letters page - was from me. Really makes this issue very special.

Tawmis! What an awesome post! I am happy you made it into the magazine!!! Logues forever my friend!!!

*waves!*

Awesome work (in "Cry Wolf" by the way)! But then - that's really what made DUNGEON so special. Is that it was chalk full of execllent modules. Even modules made for specific worlds that I'd never use (like Dark Sun, back in the day) - I'd still be impressed by what I read, and often base an adventure (for my players) off that concept, and mold it to fit in the world I had forged.

I am going to miss DUNGEON magazine. My players (these days face to face games are nigh impossible, as we're all having jobs, kids, etc) - so I run a PBEM that I have been running for 7 years - with a lot of thanks to DUNGEON, it's been a successful 7 years of PBEM'ing. Thankfully I still have HUNDREDS of adventures left to throw at my players from the archives of DUNGEON magazine.

Ironically, going through the site - there would be another irony with Dungeon Magazine's end. The announcement was made on April 19th - the anniversary of my wife and I. (Not a good anniversary present, thanks Wizards of the Coast!) :)

It's days like this, I often wish I had millions in the bank, to basically hire the wonderful people of Dungeon Magazine and spin off and keep doing what they're doing, even if it was under a new name or something...

I just can't see how the removal of publishing DUNGEON magazine is a good idea. :(

Tis news that breaks my heart.

WTF is this??? Some kind of Logue love-fest? Some kind of Logue Admiration Society????

Unacceptable!

(Yeah ...ok....Logue's work is really good.)

I just can't take anymore Logue on Logue action. :D

EEEEwwwwww! ;-)

I'd love some more Logue on Logue action!!!

You ever come back to a thread and suddenly wonder, "What the hell just happened?" :-D

I'd love some more Logue on Logue action!!!

Jezebel and Nic Logue star in a steamy new erotic thriller... "Logue Down Dirty Shame." Now available on DVD!

Now that I've got a chance to look through it and took a look at the poster map, it got me thinking. Since I don't have many of the other Maps of Mystery, I wonder if Christopher West will publish all of the Maps of Mystery in a single collection, so you can expand on the Lands of Mystery, w/o having a lot of the other maps. That would be awesome...

My contracts might allow me to do something like that as an art book, and I'm looking into the particulars about that, but WotC holds the copyright. The maps are considered game content, so my contracts differ from those of the cartoonists, who continue to own their creations after publication.

You're probably more likely to see a book of all new maps (with game content relating to the maps, such as adventure hooks, new spells, maybe a prestige class, etc) in about a year or so. That's something else I'm looking into.

Fantatic issue. The Kill Bargle adventure was sweet. And the big finale to the Savage Tide was incredible.

Mr. Logue, i just have to say that that was one of the most fantastic adventures I have ever read. I have always loved Eberron, but that wasn't even the reason I loved it so much. This is gonna be so fun to run. I also liked the way the section headers were quoted from Poe's "The Raven."

My very first impression of the cover as I held this last copy of Dungeon in my hands was, "Demmie is certainly popping a fresh can of whupass. This looks like a TPK in progress." Nicely done, Wayne... an appropriately epic sendoff for a great resource to gamers over the years.

Got mine today and felt very sad... Dungeon will be missed. My favorite part of Dungeon has been the Maps of Mystery. The world map is great! I love it! Does anyone know if there was a scale proposed for the map? I might have missed it but I couldn't find one and I am horrible at distances. Any suggestions?

Thanks, Benevolent!

Nope, no scale on the Lands of Mystery; it is intentionally left undefined so that DMs can set it however they like to suit the needs of their campaign.

Thanks for the reply Mr. West! Ok i'll try and figure out a scale...

So this IS a printed copy of the specific issue?
Judging from the 'usually ships...' bit I'd say yes, but why then is it not specified like for other issues?

It is print.

It is not specified, because Paizo was not able to produce pdfs of the later issues of the magazines, therefore there is no pdf version from which to differentiate it.

I see ; I was unaware of that. Thank you for clarifying
