Dragon 321, yes, though I've not read it yet -- I'm behind on reading magazines right now. As soon as I finish Elminster's Daughter, I'll start working thru that backlog.

Ditto, no Spider Queen updates in it and I wrote up a blurp about Dragon 321 awhile back it should be on the boards here some where.... |
For some of us, books are as important as almost anything else on earth. What a miracle it is that out of these small, flat, rigid squares of paper unfolds world after world, worlds that sing to you, comfort and quiet and excite you... Books are full of the things that you don't get in real life - wonderful, lyrical language, for instance, right off the bat. - Anne Lamott, Bird by Bird

I had no idea #322 was available in Australia yet, Dargoth. I'd only just received #320 in the mail a few weeks ago . . .

Thanks for reminding me about Dungeon. I had forgotten that this issue was the one with the Cormyr module.
I haven't seen either yet at FRP Games or RPG Shop and those two online sites get them before any store near me. |

I dunno about FLGS, but Waldenbooks (where I buy most books from) get them around mid-month. I bought Dragon 321 just last week. It may have been out a few weeks prior to that, I dunno...
Gonna get 322 to see the stats of the characters, if nothing else.

Lady K, Dargoth...
Do you have subscriptions to the magazines or can you order them locally? I had looked into the subscription rate, but it was nearly double the regular price for international subscritions.  |

I dont subscribe to either Dungeon or Dragon magazine, I only buy issues when theres FR stuff in them and there certainly hasnt been enough FR material over the last year to justify a subscription.
A couple of FLGS in the Sydney stock Dragon and Dungeon Magazine on there shelves and thats where I get them from when I want them |

Well, I only just re-subscribed in January, mainly because of the Eberron previews. However, with the upcoming format changes in #323, I'll probably drop the subscription and simply purchase them locally on an issue-by-issue basis.

You must be looking forward to the poster map that, if I'm recalling correctly, comes out in the next Dungeon. |

I am indeed . . . 
I already have the relevant issues reserved. Although, it will be hard to make a decision on which world map to remove on my bedroom walls in order to make room for the poster map of Eberron. They're plastered with maps from other settings already (mostly Faerun and Krynn).

| You know, like a wart, that setting is starting to grow on me. I may have to run the modules after my FR campaign wraps up. This is going ot be a while so they have plenty of time to release modules and adventures for me. |

Be not drawn into Temption, Remeber that the FR be the only true setting, all other false setting will be smited when the day of reckoning comes! |

 Well, at least you didn't say "Be not drawn into Temptation but deliver us from Eberron..."  |

Maps on the bedroom wall? Someone is passionate about what she likes. 
Faerun or Krynn might be pushed aside and moved to make room for the new star of the hour? Poor Faerun or Krynn, they now know what it feels like now to be Matthew McConaughey. |

Krynn would be an easy choice. Realms forevah! |

Maps on bedroom walls isn't too unusual-the first thing to go up on mine was the map from DGttU.
Hmmm...I suppose I'll have to buy 113-need that map of Eberron now... |

| Picked it up yesterday afternoon. The mid-level (6-10) adventure is set in Cormyr and involves a necromancer, Delthrin by name. Looks good. |

See, this makes me happy. Wanna know why?
1) We might get an accurate, updated map of Marsember out of the deal.
2) We're getting an adventure set in and around a Faerūnian city, rather than a generic adventure thrown out into "the Realms."
3) It's set in Cormyr (duh!).
What I like most, though, is that Delthrin the Deadmaster is a real character. He appears as far back as Volo's Guide to Cormyr, and to have an existing personality as an adventure villain, rather than one simply made up, is positively splendid. It keeps the world alive, moving, and changing. |

Actually, he goes back further than that. The old Forgotten Realms Adventures hardcover mentions him, and how he summoned a bunch of undead to defend the city against pirates. |

See, that's good news to hear and thank you for sharing it.
When I read the brief description on ENWorld, I wasn't grabbed right away by what I read. That happens from time to time on some things with me and I believe with everyone else to.
Of course, I then begin to worry....oh no....they didn't cram a very gereric adventure into FR? Did they? I immediately got the image of an old TV commercial for some car place that flashed back to show two kids, one with a mallet trying to pound a square peg into a round hole while his brother looked on urging him to keep hammering and make it fit.
Thus, I thought maybe I should wait and see what others on here had to say after reviewing the adventure. However, your above information makes me feel much better that the adventure, most likely, is not at all what my worst fears were envisioning.
Thank you for sharing this information. Additionally, thank you WR for your post showing how far back the character goes. I hope I can order this Dungeon next week from FRP Games or RPGShop along with something else that I will discuss in another thread. |

| Let's wait and see how the adventure turns out. Remember Erik Mona saying he'd consulted with Ed Greenwood on at least one Dungeon module -- this may be it, which makes the Marsember hope fair. |

1. Indeed we do. There is a very nice map of Marsember along with about 36 labels mostly covering the islands.
2. Not only is it in the city but there are aquatic elements as well. Being a coastal town and all.
3. Cormyr indeed. It's a pretty involved plot with 1 1/2 pages detailing the background and plot hooks.
Delthrin is statted out nicely for 3.5.
There are some pretty high EL's but a ninth level party would do pretty well for themselves.
A 6th level party would die horribly. Lots of good story telling elements.
Hope you like aquatic elves.
Wish I was running my campaign in Cormyr. |

Anyone got Dungeon 113 or Dragon 322 yet?
