Since TimRat hasn't updated this thread, here's the latest from
https://events.wizards.com/RPGAWeb/external/scenlist.asp:

Scenario
EMH-5 Gambit at Dreadhold RETIRE DATE 2/25/2006
EMH-7 The Delirium Stone RETIRE DATE 2/8/2006
EMH-8 Freely Given Eberron RETIRE DATE 2/8/2006

Please note the continued lack of a DM's Mark available for play.

This is what I really don't understand:

Why is EMH-5 (which, ISTR, premiered last summer) going to
be retiring after EMH-7 & 8?

Because it wasn't out for anyone except Origins and GenCon SoCal until the middle of last month would be my guess.

I'm still waiting on the results for EMH-10 to be put into the database but I'm guessing that one of the two mods for Winter Fantasy won't be ready so they are going to replace that one with EMH-10 to try and cover the ball getting dropped . . . again.

Well, though I didn't reproduce them, each mod had the same premier dates
for all the categories. Yet someone seems to have extended the expiration
date for EMH-5.

<*shakes head*>

As I've groused before: this is an excellent way to promote your premiere
campaign setting.

Sorry Mike, I'm not really understanding what you are trying to say.

This is what I see with I check availability:

EMH-5
Convention 12/15/2005 2/25/2006
Retail 12/15/2005 2/25/2006
Game Day 12/15/2005 2/25/2006
Home 1/15/2006 2/25/2006

EMH-7
Convention 10/24/2005 2/8/2006
Retail 10/1/2005 2/8/2006
Game Day 12/1/2005 2/8/2006
Home 1/1/2006 2/8/2006

EMH-8
Convention 10/24/2005 2/8/2006
Retail 12/1/2005 2/8/2006
Game Day 12/1/2005 2/8/2006
Home 1/1/2006 2/8/2006

Remember that EMH-7 and 8 were first played last August and were run at the Expanded Premiere locations even before they could be ordered for other conventions.

Though I do agree with your statement regarding their support for this amazing setting.

My point is that if EMH-7 & 8 premiered in August, why aren't they the ones
that are expiring on 2/25/06, whereas EMH-5 (which premiered probably at
GenCon in July) should be the one expiring on 2/8/06.

In either case, it took FOUR MONTHS for EMH-7 & 8 to be available for
even convention play. And from what I've heard, at least half of that
time there wasn't even a DM's Mark available. And wasn't there at least
one mod that was supposed to be released at GenCon Indy, perhaps
EMH-6, but wasn't ready and as such has never actually been released?

Unless they kick up the release rate (highly unlikely, given a new campaign
in the works, which is no doubt sucking up limited resources) or scrap the
extended premier policy and/or extend the viable time for mods, MoH is
pretty much a stillborn.

As far as i know all the eberron mods are a go for WF so none will be needed to replace each other. There is hopefully going to be a new Eberron mod released in february and at least 1 DM's mark. then another Mod in march and 1 more DM's mark.

EMH-10 Desolate EndeavorI have decided to be hopeful. Sounds promising. Of course, it's a wait and see situation.

Unfortunately I haven't been able to access the net for the past few months, and missed EMH-7 and 8.

To keep myself and my players up to date could someone possible email me the mods (if its allowed of course) so I can run them?

thanks

Most definitly not allowed due to copyright reasons. I'm starting to think we should have a sticky on this, as it seems to be the single most-asked question on the RPGA boards.

Ummm ... any word when RPGA Mark of Heroes adventures (well, anything!) will be available? My FLGS wants to run a game night, I've volunteered to run a Mark of Heroes session, and currently there is *nothing* for me to run.

Thanks!

You should be able to run Gambit at Dreadhold if you order it as a home game. As for the missing mods... well, I think it's a safe bet they're going to be available by tonight.

And once again, the dates are hosed (at least, I hope so). EMH-10 is only available for five days for home play? It is listed as June 1 - 5. This is either a mistake or WoTC has decided that home players are just not worth the trouble.

I am very happy to see EMH-10, EMH-11, and EMH-12 as well as DM's Marks for March, April, and May. It will be very nice to be able to plan things out in advance.
