Editing Dungeon Magazine (section)

==Content==
Unlike the eclectic mix of content in Dragon, Dungeon was focused on a single thing: adventuring. Dungeon usually ran four or five modules every issue. Besides regular "full length" adventures, there were also short, encounter-size modules called "SideTreks" every so often that DMs could quickly and easily throw into any campaign on a whim or when they couldn't think of anything else to do. From 2003, Paizo began including episodic, multi-part adventures, referred to as "[[Adventure Path]]s", which were designed to take a group of player characters from the beginning of their adventuring careers (1st level) through epic levels (20th and above). Paizo published three such serials: [[Shackled City]], [[Age of Worms]], and [[Savage Tide]], all for D&D 3rd edition. WotC would publish one such adventure path for 4e; [[Scales of War]].

The formula changed from its previous "adventures only" content in 2004, as a result of editor Erik Mona. From issue 114 on, each issue included three adventures, one each for low, medium, and high levels. A few issues each year also contained another substantial article which provided further details on the setting of one of the adventures. Following the adventures and articles, many issues included the three-page "Dungeoncraft" column, at the time written by Monte Cook, as well as a handful of shorter articles on various subjects, collectively titled the "Campaign Workbook". Context-free maps ("Maps of Mystery") and powerful NPCs ("Critical Threats") were also added as regular features.

This then led to the 4e issues of Dungeon seeking to identify itself as "The DM's Magazine", with Dragon being more of the "Player's Magazine". Articles aimed at DMs that had previously appeared in Dragon, such as the "Save My Campaign" advice column, monster stats, and monster lore articles like the [[Demonomicon of Iggwilv]], [[Court of Stars]], [[Codex of Betrayal]] and [[Lords of Chaos]], switched over to appear in Dungeon instead. Towards the end, some of these would change back over, but it led to a certain amount of confusion.
