02-20-07, 04:04 PM I also notice that Xen'drik Expeditions is not listed under available Adventures (i.e. you can't display when they are available).

02-20-07, 08:52 PM I was told that the Expedition will not be available for a while.

"It will be available later in the spring, much later than the faction adventures"

02-21-07, 06:37 AM IIRC, the Expedition adventure from GenCon Indy was part of the Extended Premiere programme while the faction adventures and DM's Marks weren't. While there's been no clear announcement this time, it appears that's the case here too. Might be worth contacting your nearest EP venue to find out.

02-22-07, 08:48 AM Note that the Expedition is actually the sequal to the 4 other scenarios published at DDXP, so it is really not so bad that you have to wait sometime before it becomes available.

02-22-07, 09:51 AM I don't mind waiting until it's available. My issue was that it's not even listed so you can't see *when* it becomes available.

02-22-07, 01:57 PM This is standard. When there is no module in the database for a particular category, that category disappears. As soon as the module is added, the category will re-appear. Until it is added, no-one actually knows when it will be available: the database is king and trumps any expressions of intent, except perhaps Premiere and Extended Premiere venues who have a direct line to HQ!

02-22-07, 02:08 PM So, to sum up:

We don't currently know when the next set of DM's Marks will be available?

The Expedition will be available sometime "soon" but not likely until after the published mods have had a chance to ripen?

Sound right?

But there is a module in the database, it's called "Cairn of Stone Hearts." I've played it :) It should be listed but not available to order until whatever dates are established. Not having it display implies there is no module in existence.

Google indexes the entire adventure archive, so if you search on the title or module code it'll pull it up.

03-02-07, 05:50 PM The only person who can answer this question, as far as I know, is Chris Tulach. And I have been trying to get in touch with him for three days now, with no response. Apparently he is out of the office until Monday. Sorry I can't give anything more definite than that. I was hoping they would be up by now.

And when will the next Faction adventures/DM's Marks be available? I'm assuming around the time for Origins?
smerwin29
03-02-07, 10:33 PM Actually, you should see another set of Faction adventures and DM's Marks around April, and then another set around Origins.

No Marks for march, to go with the DDXP faction mods? :weep:

(nevermind, I see that you expect Marches to have been up by now, but are waiting for Chris Tulach.)

But still, that means nothing for may and june!! :eek:

03-03-07, 02:42 PM Take a deep breath. :-D

You should be seeing adventures (Faction + DM's Mark together) every other month, plus 4 Expedition adventures per year. So February's were released at DDXP, April's will come in April, then June's will be around Origins. I know Origins is in the beginning of July this year instead of at the end of June, so don't panic.

We obviously can't give an exact date for mod releases, because we never know when they are going to be put up for ordering. But from now on, we are shooting generally for 6 sets of Factions mods and DM's Marks per year (every other month), plus an Expedition adventure every quarter.
