D&D 1E Old Timers: Remember G1-2-3, D1-D2, D3, and Q1?

[CellarHeroes]

I ran B1-9, the A series, then GDQ, and lovingly called it the "BAG of DiQs" campaign.

When grouped together as a single work, what would be an appropriate title? I've come up with (and sorta rejected) Against the Queen, The UnderDark Empire of the Drow (because the giant adventures mostly take place on the surface), and Darkness Far Below. The more vague, the better; I'd rather not give hints to the players regarding the enemies they'll be facing.

Tricky.

How about Against the Giants- and Beyond!

Personally, I'd go for "Tangled Web of the Demon Queen", but whatever you choose your players are in for a blast!
I've run the whole thing twice for different parties, as well as running the Giant threesome on several occasions, and my grandkids and wife will be entering Nosnra's Steading next weekend!
Have fun.

It's been so long so I've actually run or read them that I am currently doing a PbP of Against the Giants and it all feels new to me. When you measure the last time you did something in decades that can happen.

Oh, who I am fooling. It's not the passage of time. I didn't even remember that my character was wandering around with a severed head in the PbP game. I'm at the goldfish stage...

Look, a castle!

Not only them, but svirfneblin too!

There's no Neblin like a Svirfneblin.

I’d just go for “A Tangled Web”, TBH.

“Never Go Down”

“Riddles in the Dark”

You could start at a lower level and do the A-series "Against the Slavers" first... I have done this, many years ago. It was a blast! The thread of the threat of the Drow slowly growing in significance as they explored... I even linked in the map of the Underdark in (D1-2) Decent into the Depths with the tunnel from the SLavers Stockade (A2) together which put them all on the same (large scale) wilderness map, which I then embedded in our Barnaynia world build. I described the idea behind it in a blog here: Blog - Can you run the Classic TSR Scenarios in Barnaynia? - 03 Jan, 2021 - The Fabulous City of Dunromin

A-Series was A1 thru A4, if I recall correctly. Weren't the myconids (mushroom people) introduced in A4? The module had a hot pink color. Fun times.

Nah, that's the players.

Hey!! Your avatar! Emirikol the Chaotic from the 1e Dungeon Masters Guide! At the bottom of the full pic is that dead guy who's still burning from magical fire. I cheated; looked just now. God bless Dave A. Trampier and may he rest in peace.
