I've been away from Dragon for about 6 months now.
When I read in Dragon issue 333 about the new Age of Worms adventure path campaign starting up in Dungeon issue 124, which would have CONVERSIONS FOR THE FORGOTTEN REALMS for the adventure and setting, I made it a point to search out that issue of Dungeon.
Now I find I need to buy issue 125 for the conversion and another Backdrop installment.
Yet again, another feature promised and promoted that did not surface.
PLEASE, to whoever is responsible for making the "coming next issue" and similar claims: DON'T make claims you're not sure will be in a given issue.
I really looked forward to issue 124, but my enjoyment is subdued over the lack of coversion for the FR setting which was promised. (And please, no comments about "a good DM is able to make his own coversions".)
It also seems that the three part Vampires of Waterdeep adventure series, which was also promised to start in issue 125 (as per Dragon 333) has been delayed.
Sheesh!

The "Vampires of Waterdeep" series starts in issue #126, not #125. I misspoke in my editorial, a fact that I hadn't realized until I read this post. For that, my apologies.
The Forgotten Realms conversion appendix for the Whispering Cairn can be found in the free web supplement for Dungeon 124, which can be found in the resources section of the main Dungeon page. Regrettably, the notes did not fit into issue 124.
Overload is coming soon. I can understand if that's not good enough from your perspective, but it is nonetheless a fact.

You tell'em Eric!!!
Yeah! I feel cheated too! In fact, I think the only way to rectify this situation is if I'm sent a year's subscription of Dungeon for free! :D
Only one year? ;-)

Thanks, Eric.
I'd rather these sorts of things not happen (duh! So do you and most other readers!), but thanks for the effort to make the magazines the best you can and for supporting the website so well!
