3E GDQ remake in the works?

And made Lady Tessaril Winter a member of an evil serpent cult.

Heheheh, I bet players familiar with the realms weren't expecting that little twist.

Actually, that gives me some ideas on using FR knowledge to surprise the players. Suppose they meet a famous character like Drizzt or Volo, but it's actually a doppleganger impersonating him, and they find out that he's really been captured and needs to be saved. That would be a good way to use one of the famous FR characters. "Remember the time we saved Volo?"

Even though I'd like James Bell or some other FDP guy handle this, both Beyond All Reason and Queen of Lies have ELEMENTS of those adventures in them. I don't think they are ACTUAL remakes BUT they are similiar, as I'm sure James mentioned before.

Some people on these boards have compared Fiery Dragon Productions Beyond All Reason and Queen of Lies to these adventures. You can see the comparisson made in this thread in the d20 publisher forum.

I've been looking forward to this one since I first read about it. Then Queen of Lies by Monte himself. Could a Demon Lord be next? Can anyone remember G1-2-3,D1-2-3, and Q1; 3e style.

The homage to the Against the Giants/Decent into the Depths of the Earth happened all by accident. BAR's concept was developed before Monte came on, but once we found out about the subject matter of QoL, it was a no-brainer. BAR features fire giants (known as the Jirockk), but it also contains other giant types too, and even goes into giant culture and their history within Karathis. The Jirockk are not your regular, run-of-the-mill fire giants either. They are a fully realized society, including religion, family life, special "technologies" and so forth. They also like to burn things.

I think the 4 D's in the advertisment kind of makes FDP's position on the subject clear.

I apologize for my ignorance but I don't know what this refers to. Could somebody please educate me on the matter.

That first quote wasn't me; it was Alaric_Prympax.

Sorry Corinth, that is right. I don't know how I got that jumbled up.

It is fixed now.

I hope they make a "Return to the Haunted Halls of Eveningstar" style adventuring grounds soon - fleshed out town, and fully detailed countryside, lairs, dungeons and NPCs all the way down to encounter level. That's a "Keep on the Borderlands"-style launchpad for new DMs to do their own thing, and superior to yet another mega-dungeon. I can see the brand management promises being met in that, and it would take enough campaign preparation out of the equation for players who wanted a non-linear environment to play in to be worth an equal page count to another megadungeon.

I'd love to see something like that. A detailed 'base' town with a fair number of similarly-detailed adventuring sites of various types (ruins, mines, nearby villages, etc.)--similar, now that I think of it, to Book One of the 'Night Below' mega-adventure.
Y'know, I got one helluva lot of use out of that little 'Haranshire' mini-setting. Used it as a base-town for about two years...even though I _never_ ran the 'underdark' section of the boxed set at all.

A similar 3e product would get my cash inhalf a heartbeat.

Darrell King

Hey Omedon!

It's just our little wink-and-nod to the D-1-2-3 series. Queen of Lies is sort of a Monte Cook version of those modules, so we've been calling it D4 in house.

And, of course, Beyond All Reason features an assault on a giant stronghold.

But, to confirm Nightfall's post, these aren't remakes or anything -- they're just our take on some familiar themes - with a twist!
