[QUOTE="soulcatcher78, post: 6480726, member: 53432"] The A series can be squished about anywhere (use Skullport below Waterdeep for A1 and it gives the PCs a reason to have travelled there) in the Sword Coast area. A2 can be dropped anywhere there's a road. A3 gets a bit more tricky with the need for a city but you can always use someplace off the main trade way if you don't want to deal with a city inside a dormant volcano. Bringing them back to the SotW to kick off the Giants series might take some doing but you could use Silverymoon as a starting point for the G series (with support from Citadel Feldbar and Adbar) - The Glimmerwood would be a great spot for G1 (nice thick forest) and not too far from the Endless Sea of Ice above the SotW mountains (G2). G3 might be a harder sell but you're close enough to Anauroch to drop it on the edge and still keep it in the same neighborhood. This would place D3 far enough away from Menzobarranzan (sp?) to make it feasible (how many big Drow cities in this part of the world without constant fighting?) but still keep it on a smaller scale so that it doesn't become a world spanning adventure. The inclusion of a Drow diety other than Lolth will keep the PCs guessing as to who/what is running things...a little misdirection goes a long way and the use of different iconography (think tentacles instead of spiders) will have them thinking it's all about Mind Flayers or Aboleths. Who doesn't love to see people prep for one threat only to find another? [/QUOTE]
