I generally look forward to getting my new Dungeon magazine each month but this month have been rather busy. Just today in looking over the site, I realized I do not recall having ever received Dungeon #127. I asked my wife if she recalls having seen it and after looking at the cover she said, "No. I would have remembered that worm guy..." (I let her know it was an illithid!)

Is there any way to check that my magazine was shipped properly? My address on the account section is correct. I just can't imagine it came in and got misplaced or, gods forbid, tossed out!

Thanks,

I was hoping for some advice for a new (sort of) DM. I haven't played since 2nd Edition and me and my friends finally decided it was time to get back into gaming. The AP was a perfect excuse to get back into the DM role.

Jzadirune has all the trapped doors and I realize that the PCs won't get experience for every single door, but rather for each type of door/trap they bypass. The DMG states, "A trap never discovered or never bypasses was not encountered and hence no XP award.

Well, I imagine the group will soon start discovering some of the keys to these doors. If they get them and use them, will they start earning points for the traps? At this point, they have not "discovered" them (after realizing they couldn't pick the locks even by taking a 20, they just started using the tunnels) and also have not been affected by any. Just want some advice on how the XP would work and when they would earn it.

Thanks
