D&D 5E Next OAR might be Giants? Goodman Games Original Adventures Revisited #7 might have a codename!

Giants would be good, but probably 3 volume as TOEE was 2 volumes.

I don't think G1-2-3 would take two volumes, much less three. Remember that the original T1-4 was 128 pages, plus a map booklet. The G series was 32 pages. Even with generous extras, I think an OAR edition of G1-2-3 would be well-served by a single volume.

If I recall, it was more centered on the final encounter being with the worshipers of the elder eye instead of Lloth.

Recall the drow that are behind the giants are worshippers of his and the agents of Lloth are spying on them.

EDIT: I should note that Gygax did come up with the idea of shifting it to Lloth after it was looking too similar to TOEE, even though he didn’t pen Q1.

EDIT 2: This site touches on the “what could have been” aspect.

Why Vault of the Drow is My Favorite Module

If Tomb of Horrors is the most punishing D&D module, and The Lost City the most inspired, and Castle Amber the most rewarding, what is Vault of the Drow? Without doubt, it’s the most bril…

It would be great if it includes things like the Warrens of the Stone Giant Thane (Dungeon mag #198, #199, #200).

I mean, I wouldn't be surprised if they do that: are there giants in the modules anywhere? If so, classic misdirect.

Or giants of the art.
