Hi all,
I missed a few odd issues of Dungeon over the past couple months and am trying to get all the issues that contain material about the Isle of Dread itself, since the current adventure path started (I have the pre-adventure path ones). Can anyone fill me in as to which issues actually have to do with the Isle and it's immediate surroundings? I'm aware of 142-145, but I believe the adventure in 141 took place before arriving at the Isle and starting with 146 the adventure no longer took place there. Am I correct on that ?
I'm not interested in getting the whole Adventure Path, I just want to pick up the Isle of Dread specific issues.
Thank you much!

The above doesn't have references to which issues of Dungeon the episodes appear in, but this one does:

actually what do people think I should do with that list. Should I only actually include those episodes of the Savage Tide which _actually_ occur on the Isle of Dread, or should I include all of the episodes of the Savage Tide.

I started by including all of the episodes, but now I really think that that is a mistake. If there is no strong opinion to the contrary I intend to reverse the method.

IMO more information is always better than less information. Perhaps you could just indicate in the description, how closely the adventures are tied to Mystara? IMO, they are all in some way tied to Mystara as they are tied to eachother, use Demogorgon as an overarching enemy and many involve the Isle of Dread.

Just an idea.

BTW, it would be nice if the various articles containing information about products related to Mystara included links to eachother...

well yeah that's one point

For instance this page: http://www.pandius.com/prodlist.html is a good overview of products connected to Mystara, but the sections on Dungeon and Dragon magazines aren't updated. Perhaps a link could be included from the page above to the one detailing Dungeon magazines and vice versa (and the same if there is another section detailing Dragon magazine)?

yeah, with some of those pages since I didn't create them I'm not always mindful to update them.

I have read what has been released so far and it is a great adventure series. I hope that they will put it in one large collection.

Understandable. It might save you some work though to just add inn some links here and there. David did a great job compiling that list, but since Mystara has continued growing it needs updating. Not that all of that job should neccesarily fall on you.

BTW: the dragon list also does not seem to be covering the Savage Tides articles in that magazine...

I agree. I don't know how likely that is though. Especially given that we havent seen the Age of Worms compiled yet. I suppose if Wizards are interested, it could still happen even with the deal with paizo having ended.

but then that's also a question. Articles that are Savage Tide related aren't necessarily Mystara related ... or are they?

I'm certainly willing to discuss that. One argument is that since so much of the Savage Tide is centered around the Isle of Dread, Kopru and Demogorgon, the entire Adventure Path should be included.

What do other people think?
