Dungeon 156 had a few updates on the 30th - a side trek and a Forgotten Realms conversion, both for H2: Thunderspire Labyrinth, and last but not least an update to Ari Marmell’s Last Breaths of Ashenport which came out for 3.5 in December.

Dragon 365 had a few updates this week.  Expeditionary Dispatches about Dolurrh’s Dawn in Droaam (Eberron) and Roll vs. Role about snaketongue cultists (generic).

There was a new Steal This Hook about the Nentir vale where both Keep on the Shadowfell and Thunderspire Labyrinth are set, another entry in the Converting Your Character series (a misleading name since you can’t really convert from 3.5 to 4), and a new article on the Goblin Language of Eberron by author Don Bassingthwaite.

I just want to say a few things about all these updates.  The Last Breaths of Ashenport may have been one of the last 3.5 adventures, but it was one I wanted to run as soon as I saw it.  Ari Marmell did a fabulous job of trying to keep a Lovecraftian feel to the encounters and succeeded pretty well in the conversion, although a few errors have poked up at the Wizards boards.  The Forgotten Realms conversion of Thunderspire Labyrinth bothered me not because of anything it did, but because there was no similar treatment for Eberron, although I do have to say I’m happy that Eberron is still getting support, with an article each from the creator (Keith Baker) and the author of the second published novel in the series (Don Bassingthwaite), so I’m feeling the Eberron love.
