I have the same situation. I've never received Dragon before Dungeon, but this month Dragon showed up and I still haven't seen Dungeon #137. Says it shipped on June 26th in my account... I'm starting to think the mailman swiped it cuz of the hottie on the front. :) I think he thinks it's an BDSM mag! :))
Tim... dude... I laughed so hard at that episode of 2 1/2 men. and when their Mom comes in and recognizes the gf, who in turn recognizes the Mom... and panicks. Then Mom Warns her off from her 'sons'... I pee'd I laughed so hard. The realization that Mom is more powerful than a coven of thriteen witches! Now that's comedy. Bow Down before MOM! yipes k. So, back to the topic... I don't believe Dungeon OR Dragon magazine will keep the generations to come involved in RPG, I don't believe it's the reason RPG's are involved with it now. I believe it's the users of forums like this one that keep RPG alive and will continue to do so in the generations to come. I'm sorta black and white. "People" are pretty much morons... I think some dude named Kay said it the best: "A person is smart. People are dumb, panicky, dangerous animals... and you know it." and some other guy named Ron said, "You can't fix Stupid" A person can edge-you-cate themselves about something, or not. A person can read the magazine, or not. Wanna see a kick and scream session? Let's see if we can get Paizo to have Brocal Remohi or Dorian Cleavenger to do some cover art for them :) It would bring a WHOLE NEW meaning to "Let's get some Dragon tail!" :D \Ramble off time to find my blood pressure medication.
I recently posted what I thought might be the Red Leather Armor of the Seekers at that site.
I gave them the burning plague. Smenk is "recruiting" miners by offering to cure them of the plague, but they have to sign a year long contract to mine for Smenk. This gave me the chance to "give" the players a lot of information they picked up in the year they lived in DL.
did I make 600? :) Woohoo! I did I did! whahahahhah.... snuck in there at the last minute and swooooop! Thanks for the .pdf..... anyone else notice the site got brought to it's knees?
I can't find it anywhere using google's search function of the WOTC boards. I'll keep looking. When i find it I'll post the link.
I'm looking for it... ever since WOTC's boards lost their search capability they've become less useful in looking for things... unless you're on there all the time it's really hard to find things by wading through waves of posts.
You know what really really really kills me... this post is going to drop to the end of the list as soon as the download is available... no one is going to remember that it took a whole 2 extra weeks to get the thing out. Once it's available for download there'll be a whole new gripe session post about who's not happy about what particular thing they didn't like about the .pdf. Which is just sad.
Smenk promised a town of plagued peoples that his brother Allustan would heal their illness if they signed a one year contract to work in his mines. hmmm... jeez - looks like I scrwewed up already... Allustan is supposed to be Lanod's brother? whoops. But I needed a way to take the 1st level party I just started and ran through the TOR AT HIGHTOWER and started BURNING PLAGUE (free downloads from WOTC.. did I mention they were free? BTW: they were free) needless to say the party caught the plague... and I warped a buncha stuff around to hook them into AoW. I also did stupid things like: Party lost ALL belongings other than clothing in the transit to Diamond Lake to work for their new Boss Smenk. Insert mass information pamphlet to players of game about background of DL. On the parties first day of freedom (read no longer under contract to work for Smenk) they got their 10 silvers for the day. Headed for their favorite tavern they've been to many many many times "The Feral Dog" and blew their last days pay on ale, dogs, and a map that a conman sold the Cleric of the party for all 10 silvers she had. They wanted to question him, but he got drunk pretty quick and forgot he even sold a map to anyone bumped into a bigger Albino Orc that he made mad and knocked him out cold on the floor. They were told about a haunted mine that no one would work anymore (whispering cairn or haunted mine... whatever... they'll find out it's a tomb when they get there) It was a map to a house everyone passed by everyday to and from their way to work and home... a shambled shack no one ever really paid attention to. But whoa! low and behold it belonged to the man that drove their caravan transport carts belongings trunks. (I think thats a run on sentence) Hey hey ... they aren't mad at me for taking away all their stuff anymore! wow... that house sure does look a lot like the one in dragon magazine (but wait I seemed to have screwed that all up too... it didn't belong to some driver guy? did it?) I'm sorry Mister Wizard- your spellbook was in the trunk under the Rogues who "used to have a flask of acid" that broke. The acid seems to have trickled all over and destroyed a bunch of stuff his and your stuff. Oh well looks like you'll have to apprentice to Allustan to get a new book and some spells. (wow that worked in my favor-now I can control what spells the 1st level wizard gets in his book! Mwah huh hah!) They still need to find / get the deed for the house (did I mention they haven't even found the previous owner slumped over the kitchen table... dead and decaying... stench and stink all over with an empty potion bottle in his hands?) I wonder if the town thinks they did it since they'll be looking for the deed? Wait a sec... They haven't even started the whispering cairn adventure yet. I better get in gear and get them goin'. to dungeon staff-
How you do it for under 4 bucks an issue I'll never be able to figure out? I can't even by a pack of smokes for that! If you complain about the price - you either need to stop buying it / stop subscribing / get a job / get a real job that pays you in $ / or beg your parents for a bigger allowance. GW's White dwarf is almost twice as much. And comparing the price to Playboy or Maxim (or even Playgirl for you women out there) isn't even a comparison... I mean they don't even talk about D&D in those magazines! They're just one BIG AD for plastic surgeory (It's a great ad- don't get me wrong I'm not a switch hitter or a weirdo who don't like chicks or anything) To those who are going to tell me stop stroking the staff, and that think I should complain they get things corrcet and perfetc all the time period end of statement... I have the belief that "tough love" and "double negative is positive reinforcement" doesn't work. I'm happy to get what I get when it comes to this... cause frankly- where else in the world can I subscribe to a magazine like this? My goodness it comes DIRECTLY TO MY FRONT DOOR!? Sign me up! If / when I think there's a mistkae in the magazine: I'm a bright enough person to either figure out the mstiake or make something up (see above description of how my lame game is going already if you need an example of how to make something up) To all the complainers who aren't asking me to complain too, but think I'm attacking them, I'm not. I don't think it's a constructive way to spend my time... I'd rather cheer on the dungeon and dragon staff and see what comes next from them. I mean I'm so far behind in the campaign right now there's plenty of time to wait for overload and other .pdf handouts for printing supplements and stuff. And that's playing every week for 4 hours. ( I know I know i can hear you guys now... 4 hours? jeez tht's NOTHING - we play for 72 hours every Saturday! whatever- that's how much time you have... not me I have 4 a week and I'm happy about making that much time) *raises one hand waving like the president after giving a speech that didn't make any sense* "See ya'll on the boards later!" ~ Craig
if you can find the old pos game "mageknight" pieces... look for a scalesworn spectre. http://www.insaneimages.com/pics/scaleswornspectre.gif This is the way it looks from WK. I've painted a couple up to resemble the wind warriors (threw silver on them... I'll try and get a picture of that up when I get a chance). To me they seem to be a really close match to what a wind warrior would look like... they even have "wind" trailing off them. The helmet is almost identical to the illustration. As a bonus - WK blew it soooo bad with this game you can get these for around 50 cents a piece! you just need to rip em off the stupid clicky base and glue it on a real base.
So placing Diamond Lake somewhere close to Daggerford sounds like a better idea. I don't know a lot about the FR history (yet) so is Waterdeep still a good idea to replace the Free City?
And now after reading the openeing article "Remembering the Realms" I'm now REALLY excited about my new subscription... I just started a playing with some friends and picked up a bunch of FR resources. Now I read that you're throwing in FR stuff into both magazines.... I can't imagine better timing for me to subscribe- thanks man. Age of Worms rocks!
You're article on "The Ecology of the Behir" was very well written. I very much enjoyed reading it. I originally bought #333 for the Worm food article - low and behold I got a bonus! and I haven't even read anything else in this issue yet. woohoo... I'm now really happy I subscribed.
Is there anyone else running or planning to run AoW in the forgotten Realms? I just picked up the July Dungeon and I'll be starting it in two weeks. I'm putting together the DDM mini's and altering Smenks note to Necro boy to reflect Daggerfall and Waterdeep for a handout if / when the PC party gets a hold of the note. I'd be interested in working with any other DM that's going to run this in FR...
I totally lucked out. I just subscribed to both Dungeon and
