In my humble opinion gods should either be a nebulous ideal, or they should be very mortal. I always loved imagining what might happen in that vacuum. Here’s a god in her home plane and you can actually destroy her. One of the things that I found interesting about the module was that it truly did present the gods in a different light. Interesting that one of the most well-regarded settings may have srpang from a scenario that was not so well-loved. I get the impression that Planescape had much of its inspiration in this module. That was my favorite portion, too it had the feel of Moorcock’s Million Spheres setting to it, at least for me. That, right there, was genius, and still inspires me tremendously. Out of the entire module, I’ve always felt that the real gem of it was the portals to alternate Prime Material worlds. I don’t know, I’ve always found the thought of a spider filled layer of the Abyss to be an absolutely terrifying thought.īut that could just be the aracnaphobia talking.
Drivethrurpg expedition to the demonweb pits series#
It’s still a daydream of mine to actually play this series Giants-Drow-Lolth and the Slavers series. I was always the GM for my ddemonweb, and so never got to play in any of these “classic” modules. At least not anymore than Deomnweb has to surround himself with killer baboons. Spider form aside, there’s no reason why Lolth has to take the spider motif to a gimmicky degree. The one thing that bothers me in retrospect is how the PCs would ever know about the intertwined levels in the first place. I did play Q1, have fond memories of it, and my PCs did kill Lolth coming down to one particular d6 roll. I’ve heard something about the Sunless Sea, but not much else. Does anyone know anything about Gary’s envisioned ending to the sequence? Personally I ran Q1 for a party around 22nd level 1e and they had a good challenging time of pifs, but killed Lolth in the end. Like a monstrous spiderweb spun across the very fabric of the planes, the plane known as the Demonweb Pits is formed of interwoven strands of planar matter. The Queen of the Demonweb Pits represents the conclusion of the Giants and Drow collection of modules, all of which have been previously. THE DEMONWEB PITS? The Expedition to the Demonweb Pits campaign adventure is designed to begin with four to six 9th-level DUNGEONS & DRAGONS®.
