Dungeon 124 and 125-Worth Buying?


Dungeon Magazine General Discussion


Hello, All! My first issue of Dungeon was 126, so I was wondering if Dungeon 124 and 125 were good enough to warrant a purchase. Mainly, I am considering 124 for the Diamond Lake Backdrop, but anything that people found interesting in these issues would be nice to know. Thanks,

Ummm, well...first, there's The Whispering Cairn...and then there's the Three Faces of Evil. I definitely found them interesting. Running the first one now: Syringe-toting necromancers, Wind Dukes, miniature ghosties, oh, my! Yeah, probably worth $14.

What non-AoW stuff do they have in those two issues?

What about the Backdrop of Diamond Lake? Is this useful/interesting?

For starters, the backdrop of Diamond Lake is fabulous. Kind of one part Dodge City/Boot Hill, and another part Mos Eisley Spaceport (minus the Stormtroopers). As I posted elsewhere, "...never shall we find a more wretched hive of scum and villiany. We must be cautious."

As to the non-AoW stuff, there's more Maure (Castle, that is--get the first, full-issue installment...I think it was #112), part 2 & 3 of the Shards of Eberron Capmaign Arc (Temple of the Scorpion God/Pit of the Fire Lord), and a nasty 15th level adventure called The Seekers of the Silver Forge (githyanki, sahaguin, airy water, violent confrontations with enormous sharks, steaming bowls of porridge, etc.). Of course, there's Downer, Mt. Zogon, and Dungeoncraft (majordomos, seneschals, smells of the city, guides, & beakers of endless potions). And for the 2 of you out there who care, the last Wil Save.

Okay, so I made that stuff about the porridge up. The rest is there.

Thanks. Sorry to keep asking more questions, but is the Shards of Eberron Campaign Arc any good? Do you think it is on par with the Vampires of Waterdeep Arc? (126,127,128)

Thanks again,

Although I'm not running my campaing in Eberron or Forgotten Realms (sorry, Greyhawk fan), I'd say it is on par. Neat twist on the drow. Nasty, but different.

Strength and Honor...
