Heironeous, Modrons, long-lived charcaters...all of this was well done making #354 one of the best "reads" of a Dragon magazine I've had in awhile. I especially liked the modron-related material and the reference to the Tertiary modron in the Dungeon adventure "Diplomacy".
Just wanted to write and say that I completely disagree with the small vocal minority that claims Dragon is going downhill. Issue 354 proved that wrong in a big way!!! I love Modrons and was extremely happy to see them back ; I say every April should be Modron month!!!! Even small articles; and say.... how's about an adventure over in Dungeon sometime soon?
I think I am one of the few gamers who appreciates the Modrons and their place in D&D history. Granted when they first appeared in the 1st edition of Dungeons and dragons I overlooked them and thought to myself "Oh man, the D&D designers have officially run out of ideas for monsters!" It wasn't until they were brought back into D&D 2nd Edition through the Planescape setting that I truly became interested and actually appreciated the Modrons! I was saddened that they only received a brief mention in the Manual of the Planes for 3rd ed with no real substance. The Modrons were replaced by "bugs" (FORMIANS) and the Inevitables (which I liked). When I heard that Dragon was going to feature the return of the Modrons in issue #354, I rejoiced! Ken Marable does an EXCELLENT job bringing these guys back for 3rd Edition D&D! Julie Dillion's artwork is also EXCELLENT! This alone was worth the price of the issue for me! The article on Heironeous is also worth mentioning! Overall a GREAT issue!
For those of us who were emphatically not around for this particular issue but are curious about the Modron write-up, Sean Gandert of Exposition Break has done a write-up about the article as part of his now long-running series on the history of Planescape and the Planes in D&D.
