First of all, I am so glad that you now have a forum. I will be here often, I am sure.
Second, I have noticed that there is a severe lack of epic and psionic adventures. Will Dungeon feature either of these types of adventures in the future? It is possible that the Shackled City adventure path might get an occational addition in the form of an epic adventure? Now, That would be great!
Thanks,
Neomorte
Another request here for Epic-level adventures. They're so time-consuming to design...
Add me to those who desire more epic-level adventures.
I'm not a Dungeon subscriber, but I'll buy any issue that has an epic adventure without question.

The current plan is to do an epic adventure about once a year. For psionic adventures, we'll be doing one (maybe two) a year. We've already got a psionic adventrue ready to go for Dungeon #116 (November, 2004), and we're waiting for revisions on what looks like a pretty crazy and unique epic adventure.
We probably won't be printing these types of adventures more often than once a year, unless reader response is higher than we anticipate.
Once a year is a pretty good idea. I say that as someone who owns both the Epic and Expanded Psionics Handbooks. Personally, I'd rather see more psionic content than epic but I can understand those that feel the other way. I'm looking forward to Dungeon #116 already!

The epic adventure that's in the works is absolutely crazy. I love it.
As James said, we'll probably do a psionics adventure once or twice (probably twice) a year. The one in #116 is pretty cool, and features githyanki, which ought to please most of our readers.
It definitely pleased us!

Any chance that we will see any epic adventures set in Cauldron from the Shackled City Adventure Path?

Very cool. A Psionic adventure or two sounds just right. Our campaign has recently adapted the "Expanded Psionics Handbook," and it has been cool (superior to its v.3.0 predecessor). Our players have been very satisfied with the supplement. Perhaps Bruce Cordell will be authoring such an adventure (or two). He has done great work on psionic material in and outside of WotC.
Excited to see what shows up. :)

I can't get Bruce to write for me, after repeated tries. Seems he likes writing for his DM (Monte Cook) a lot better. :)
Since Monte's my DM, too, I guess I'll cut him some slack in that regard. But he's always welcome in our pages.
As for epic adventures set in Cauldron, we don't currently have any proposals along those lines, but would certainly be open to the idea.

Have you guys ever thought of auctioning a short term place in your gaming group on Ebay? I reckon you'd make a fortune!
I'd like to see Psionics integrated into non specifically psonic adventures. Maybe as a side bar that gives an alternative psionic version of a character in the adventure. That way Psionics can be used or ignored. I know that in my games I like to have the ocassional psionic PC, but I rairly run a specificly "Psionic Campaign".

Geez, James - you're killing me (in a good way). That's *twice* in succession that you've answered exactly what I was hoping for.
What happened? Did you guys all land on your heads or something? Because all this news and the changes to Dungeon are some of the greatest things I've seen in a long time.

That is a great idea. I would love to see it's inclusion in upcoming adventures.
I, too, would like to see more Psionics content in Dungeon. I've been playing psionic characters from way back in the 1ed days (and man is the XPH lightyears of improvement over that). By the way, Astral Construct, one of my absolute favorite powers. Those little goombahs have saved our party's bacon more than once.

Psionic and Epic adventures are tough to write especially the ridiculous... er Epic ones. By the time any group has gone Epic they should be in a pretty well defined campaign. Most adventures I've seen in my 11 or so years of subscription clearly fall in the 1-15th level spectrum...
But their have been many that could be updated to epic... the King Lear with cloud giants 2e adventure would've been excellent as an Epic dungeon!
