Also, the two Channel Divinity articles will be good to see. And Deities and Demigods: Torog will be a fantastic tool for underdark adventures. I've got a team moving into the underdark fairly soon.
I'm also looking forward to Familiar Powers: Sorcerers. So far, I haven't played nor seen someone play and arcane class that goes for the familiar. So, maybe that has lost some degree of interest, but the ability to use the familiar for powers does make it seem more versatile. So, with the wizard gaining familiar powers a few months ago, and now sorcerers gaining familiar powers, perhaps I'll start to see the familier gain some users in games.
although i've not read the books, Bazaar of the Bizarre: The Legend of Drizzt should be pretty cool. Oh, and the Deck of Many Things will be a fascinating article too. I've been looking for an artifact that will be fitting for the wizard of our party. Deck of Many Things might just be the best item for him.
two more Chaos Scar adventures is a good addition. Not new, but it will be good to have some more adventures on that series. I've got games running, so i've been letting the Chaos Scar adventures collect until we start a new campaign. Then we might pull all those out to pull together elements of heroic tier for the next campaign.
What are you looking forward to in April's issues of Dragon and Dungeon?
Class Acts: Prophecy - I've got a cleric in my Eberron campaign which places important weight on the Draconic Prophecy so this may be an interesting way to offer some special flavour for my cleric player.
Maze of Shattered Souls - I'm always excited to see Eberron adventures, although I don't think I'll have any use for it in my current campaign.
I'm interested to see some more info on the psionic power source. I've banned myself from buying any more D&D books for a while so I won't be getting PHB3 anytime soon. So I'm interested to see more info on the psionic power source.
Winning Races: Goliath looks like we're going to see a new subrace for goliath. Similar to Forgeborn dwarves and Acidsoul Genasi.

i'm looking forward to more psionic details and news. i find that i like the psionic classes very much, but i feel envy that they can choose several at-will powers and re-use those powers many times with augmentation. I'd like to see those sort of options for arcane and divine classes--some at-will options that can be boosted a small number of times during an encounter. Martial, primal and shadow could have at-wills that boost too. it's a good mechanic, but i don't like that only psionic receives it.
the winning races: goliath looks like a good idea. I'm not as into goliath as a race, but i'm glad to see it get more support. i don't currently have anyone playing goliath in a game, so my group doesn't think about them much.

I'm not into the race much either. So I'm hoping some more support will get me more excited (much like the Primal Power book did for me with primal characters).
i still can't get interested in paladins, but i like fighters and wardens. Another likely future character for me is a paladin, so that i can get the feel of the paladin better.
I think one of the troubles with goliath is that they seem to be very stereotyped as fighters, barbarians, wardens, and occassionally druids. It feels like a goliath playing another class would stand out and just plain look funny.
The half- orc article could be interesting, too. Although I don't expect to get any use in from of powers or feats for my beastmaster ranger, I hope for a bit of fluff (although my half- orc is Eberron - specific).
Moreover, I'm always happy for new Chaos Scar material as this the setting for our dwarven campaign. However, this month's choice of adventures for characters of level 1 and 4 is rather disappointing, as we haven't had any adventures for level 3 characters, yet.
And goliaths are an interesting race for me which is probably due the connection with dwarves.

If we run out of level-appropriate Chaos Scar adventures for our kobolds and dwarves, I'd say we could try to convince our DM to let us try a Level 4 Chaos Scar adventure with level 3 characters. After all, we are a group of dwarves. It turns out they're actually a pretty optimal race for any class whatsoever

I'm happy to work with you to incorporate some fluff you want for your character. You might be surprised at what I've incorporated into Eberron that wasn't initially there. Unfortunately most of it is behind the scenes. For now
I'm actually eagerly awaiting buying an iPad so I can upload Dragon and Dungeon issues to it and so I can finally read them from cover to cover. I expect to have a lot of content I can incorporate into Eberron. But for now I can't because I just have no patience reading dozens of pages of PDFs on the computer screen.
