I got mine last week.

One strange thing I've noticed is that it takes me three weeks or more after shipping to get my Dungeon magazine but only a week to get Dragon.


Right now I'd say Age of Worms with a few modifications/additions. I have yet to see the final adventure in Savage Tide but the last two adventures have all but required some VERY good diplomacy on the PCs part. Savage Tide has the benefit and drawback of including a LOT of notable characters from DnD's past.

One thing I've noticed about all three campains is how much I'd want a Sacred Exorcist along to help deal with all the vile outsiders/undead. Savage Tide does present it with a few more problems (lawful types in the chaotic planes have problems) but it could still be worth it considering all the ranks in Knowledge (Planes) that are needed.


I believe they changed Bubblebee's body type because they didn't want to confuse him with another "lively" VW Bug, namely Herbie.


I am unfortunately thinking we will need to leave Demogoron alive provided there is any other way to stop the Savage Tide.

Perhaps the Abyss can survive his loss but with two-face out of the way Orcus and Grizzet can fight it out for control without the third party getting in the way. If one of them wins without another Demon Lord rising to match their status that could spell doom for the Devils in the Blood War followed by the rest of the multiverse.


Actually, ANY wizard or sorcerer could take the Abjurant Champ without multiclassing. It just costs them another feat to get the martial weapon.

The A'Champ may be broken with fighter/MAGE builds by letting them have full casting and BAB but I almost believe it is necessary for FIGHTER/mage builds. So many of the gish PrCs have spellcasting requirements of 2nd level or higher (Spellsword and Eldritch Knight come to mind) that a warrior has to give up too many points of BAB (and often hp) to get their spellcasting to that level. With the A'Champ they can get by with only a one level casting dip prereq and when finished with the class cast 3rd level spells so entry into other gish classes will no longer be a problem.


Although it may be cheating when is the latest someone could start a month-to-month subscription to either Dungeon or Dragon in order receive their farwell issues?

I know you'd like us to get all the remaining issues (ie sign up now) but I'd like to get the Dragon finally when it comes out without having to make the hour and a half trip to try and find it.


The only good thing I can say about this in now I won't have to go and try finding more storage space for all my issues of Dungeon.


I was wondering what the conversion rate for "extra" Dungeon/Dragon subscription issues into Pathfinder issues is.

Does converting with with month-to-month one checked mean we'd get the Player's Guide as well?


For those who have read the adventure we all see how Mr. Richard's competing groups score to compare to your PCs.

Now lets see how they compare to the rest of the worlds so please post your players box score here to see what kind of groups people actually get to run.


A semireal problem with compiling them is that the first four aren't 3.x compliant.

I have yet to receive the latest version but the Challenge of Champions has always been a great way to test various parties against each other. I'd like to hear the stories of DMs with multiple group who uses the CoC on both groups and have a low level (1-3) group destroy a very high level group.

Solar Paladin although that butts up against the god restriction.


Normally Dungeon covers are pretty obvious. This one required a double take to see what magazine it was on.

With no adventure path currently running I imagine something needed to be done to move the issue off of store shelves. Any chance of ever hearing how successful such covers are at moving product?


If he can keep all than 9th level spell goodness until then allow him the chance to take out Dragotha. If the wizard dies then perhaps he should have been a little more conservative otherwise follow the other suggestions an spice things up a little.

Fortunately replacing a high level wizard before the final adventure shouldn't be too hard. Just have that archmage (I forget his name) or an associate join the group before their final encounters.


While not exact, I surprised no one has mentioned the Abyss yet. Realistically any of the outplanes between Hades and Limbo should be very unfriendly to paladins.


In the StarTrek universe I'd always go with Captain Sisko. The rest have had their momement but he's my favorite. Besides, he half all powerful wormhole alien or the Emissary if you wish.

Outside the StarTrek universe the Serenity captain is great considering his ship is unarmed. I'd also put in good word for Babylon 5's commander and Commander Adama from Battlestar Galactica.


I agree that magazine space is better used for adventures than history.

But I also agree having it as an online feature should work. In a digital format it should even be too difficult to keep it current.


What are the chances of getting a comprehensive index of adventures posted in DUNGEON?

I'm mostly interested in find issues/names based on adventure level with general location/type as further information. If it included the Table of Contents text that would be a great help.

I recognize it requires extra work but even if you just had all the ToC info in one place it would be helpful for finding adventures (and perhaps for Piazo to sell back issues). I wouldn't even ask that you beyond the 3.0 material although the older stuff may be nice for reference. Matching adventure to issue was hard enough when there were only six issues a year but now finding old adventures is even harder.


I experienced the same problem. I started my Month-Month on April 21 and was informed last week that I missed that cut by one day. I'm not not a happy camper here since the subscription price of $4.50ish is half the $9 wanted here to order a "back" issue.

Your best bets to get the issue are ordering it here or finding it on the rack. I had been going to order it as a back issue but then decided I don't really like Dragon Mazine that much.
