What is rate of idea submissions for Eberron adventures compared to general and Forgotten Realms adventures? Do you look at them more closely to see if it has an Eberron theme to it since one of the main points of Eberron was to be a different style of D&D? There seems to be less Eberron adventures than any other type, but they also seem to be the most original ones as well. I thought that Uri Kurlianchik’s Murder in Oakbridge was one of the best adventure I’ve seen in Dungeon (keep in mind that I am an Eberron junkie). Can you tell me if we’ll be seeing any Eberron adventures sometime this year?
James Sutter or Jeremy can speak to the ratio of Eberron to Forgotten Realms adventures.
I can tell you that we have several Eberron adventures coming this year, though; we've got at lest 4 I can think of off the top of my head, and I'm aiming at publishing about 6 in all this year.
That'll do for a start. ;)
I'm almost afraid to admit but Ebberon has simply never excited me - I am not about to demand less or no Eberron adventures in Dungeon magazine because I am aware that I am probably the only one in the universe to not get the appeal, but please continue to support more generic D&D above anything else...
Cheers

Recently, we have received far more Eberron proposals than Forgotten Realms proposals (I would estimate the ratio at 5:1 over the last six months or so).
As for whether they are subject to more scrutiny, not really. We publish fewer campaign specific adventures than generic adventures, so if we receive a lot of campaign specific proposals (which hasn't been a problem so far) they can be up against tougher competition for fewer spots.
Yes, capturing the theme of a specific campaign setting is important for campaign specific adventures. But it is no less important than ensuring that a generic adventure is easily adaptable to diverse campaign settings. So while what we are looking for is slightly different, there is no more or less scrutiny involved.
