Adventure arcs - how many?


Dungeon Magazine General Discussion


My collection is currently in storage, can someone post how many 3-part adventure arcs there have been in Dungeon so far? I know Seeds of Sehan is the current one.


There was also "Shards of Eberron" and "Vampires of Waterdeep". I don't know if there's any more, but those are just off the top of my head.


The Istivin trilogy was another one...

Ah, right. Leave it to me to leave the best one so far, in my opinion at least, off the list.

By the way, F2K, I got a good chuckle at your bio from the second Seeds of Sehan adventure.


Thanks, James. I do enjoy homebrewing (beer and mead, not necessarily campaigns, that is).

I felt a little bad that some of the other guys said nice things about their spouses and families and I kind of neglected that, and talked about beer. I felt guilty that my bio seemed so shallow compared to the others, but I'm glad you got a chuckle out of it.

I did too. Showed it to the hubby, he chuckled as well.

Thanks, guys, for the replies. I wasn't sure if there were more than two or not.


Does The Mere of Dead Men count? It was longer than three adventures, though, IIRC.... ;)

Good catch :-) I remember it as five parts.

Stretching the definition of "Arcs" to include all serials adds:

Dragon 83 / 84 - The Twofold Talisman
42 / 52 - Lady of the Mists / My Lady's Mirror
87 / 100 - Raiders of Galath's Roost / Woe to Mistledale
100 - Old Embers Never Die (a real stretch)
115 / 126 - Raiders of the Black Ice / The Clockwork Fortress

I like to think of these as sequels rather than arcs they don't really follow one right after another and some of the connections are pretty tenuous. One more set to add to that list; "Death of Lashmire" and "Seekers of the Silever Forge" by Tim Hitchcock. "Mere of Dead Men" should probably be called an "Adventure Trail." Not quite an "Adventure Path," but still longer than a three-part "Adventure Arc." If I get my Adventure Proposal Meeting Day, wish you'll be seeing another one of these in the future.

Don't forget to add the Styes and the Weavers to your list of sequel adventures.
