I am preparing to start the Age of Worms adventure path, and I was wondering if anyone recalls whether Dungeon or Dragon magazine published anything suitable to hand out to players ahead of time so they can read about the region and help create backstory? Additionally, did Dungeon ever publish a preview of all the adventures similar to the one recently published for the Savage Tide Path? Additionally, any ancillary material published for Age of Worms in Dragon or on here would be helpful. I appreciate any help you can give a DM with not enough time who has been away from the table since the start of the FIRST adventure path!
There is a list of all the adventures in the "Overload" article that was put out. It also has conversion notes, stat blocks, Etc.
Hope this helps.

You'll find some helpful items in the Age of Worms archive over at theRPGenius.
I ended up photocopying the Diamond Lake backdrop from 124 and blacking/cutting out anything not relevant to the pcs (like npc stats and dmbehind the scenes info) and then copying this new manuscript.
Worked well, gave the players 'instant' knowledge of all the relevant stores and npcs in Diamond Lake.
