[QUOTE="steeldragons, post: 5657162, member: 92511"] Sorry, maybe I got it wrong. I thought I'd seen it referred to as GDQ...maybe it was GDW?...no, I think I'm right. [MENTION=17106]Ahnehnois[/MENTION] (and anyone else unfamiliar)[B] "GDQ"[/B]:(with a little help by Wikipedia ;) a collection of original 1e modules that formed a coherent (and lengthy but awesomeness in awesome sauce cubed) campaign, including: [LIST] [*]the[B] Giant (G) [/B]series [or in my case], [I][B]Against the Giants[/B][/I] (written by [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gary_Gygax"]Gary Gygax[/URL] and published by [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TSR,_Inc."]TSR[/URL] in 1981). It combines the G series of modules previously published in 1978: [B][I]Steading of the Hill Giant Chief[/I], [I]Glacial Rift of the Frost Giant Jarl[/I], [/B]and[B] [I]Hall of the Fire Giant King[/I].[/B] [*]the [B]Drow[/B] or, arguably, if you prefer, the "Descent" series. Either way, it's the[B] "D" [/B]series. [I][B]Descent Into the Depths of the Earth[/B][/I] is coded D1–2 (also, written by [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gary_Gygax"]Gary Gygax[/URL]) and combines two previously published modules from 1978, the original [B][I]Descent into the Depths of the Earth[/I] [/B]and[B] [I]Shrine of the Kuo-Toa[/I]. [/B]A sequel to the first two modules, [B][I][URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vault_of_the_Drow"]Vault of the Drow[/URL][/I][/B], was D3.

But I also highly recommend, whether you personally have copies or not, PLAYING through them whenever you have the opportunity. Thanks for all of the responses so far, guys. Some really intriguing (i.e. getting my creative wheels squealing) stuff here. Apologies to those I "must spread some around..." (Jester, as usual, haha. and WbDb)...and to others as it seems I have already "given too much XP in the last 24 hours." blech. So I'll getcha tomorrow I guess.
