Can I just say that, if this series is any good, I may well soil myself? I cut my teeth on GDQ, and anything that can equal that (or surpass it) would be beyond belief.

So far, it looks good: The first 10 levels (of 30!) appear to take place in a fairly modular location (a distant northern island), and if the title of the second book is any indication, it's into the Underdark/Underdeep/Underover with Volume II.

Anyone else looking forward to this one?

kinda, I'm not a big Drow fan but if this does well I like the idea for others like it

Would be neat to see, as:

Book I - 1st to 10th level
Book II - 11th to 20th level
Book III - 21st to 30th level

Which means the III book is a 256 page Epic level adventure, ALL Epic level.

That would be something new.

Ah, the mega-dungeon's and adventures. Looks interesting.

I'm actually more interested in "Ruins of the Dragon Lord," myself, but I love the ambition of the whole series.

I agree WD - the ambition of the whole project is cool - I hope they pull it off.

Does anyone know who did the maps for this series?

That is the plan

I definitely like the idea of campaign-length modules but drow? Ugh. Do we really need more modules with drow in it? I know I don't.

Well, despite what some feel here, drow are still very popular.

I'll be curious to see what bits it's using.

For example, will it use material from Sheloth, the 3.0/3.5 City of the Drow with the weird NPC stats and abilities?

Will it borrow from Goodman's Guide to Drow or Green Ronin's Excellent Plot & Poison?

Hopefully we'll see some previews for it, and get some web enhancements for it.
