Dungeon is running two back to back issues with no Eberron or Forgotten Realms content. The editors have a philosophy that heavily prefers generic (core only) mechanics. There is a thread with more info here:

http://www.enworld.org/showthread.php?t=172739&page=1&pp=40

Eberron adventures selected for Dungeon generally center on the most eccentric aspects of the setting. I do not feel this is healthy for Dungeon or for Eberron as a setting. Paizo also relies on submissions. Paizo should use Eberron more often as a backdrop for some of their more generic submissions. What do you think?
