Series

A series: Aerie of the Slave Lords.

A0-4. A series based on tournament modules, except for A0, which is a module written far later to act as an introductory module to the series. The module series follows adventure dismantling the Titular slave lords along the wild coast. The full series is set in Greyhawk. It was later made into a chain with T1-T4, GDQ1-7.

B series: 'Basic' D&D

Designed for D&D Basic instead of AD&D 1e. This series was mainly set in the Mystara setting, but a few of the modules (B1 and B2) are set in Greyhawk in some versions. B1 was set in Greyhawk in early publications, then changed to Mystara. B2 was set in Mystara at first, then retroactively implied to be in Greyhawk by the later 'Return to the Keep on the Borderlands'.

C series: Competition.

The first 2 of 6 are set in Greyhawk, based on tournament modules. The modules are unconnected.

D series: Drow.

D1-3, and the D1-2 compilation module. Also used and 'completed' in the super campaign chain T1-4, A1-4, GDQ1-7.

EX series:Extension

EX1 and EX 2. These modules are based on Alice on wonderland, and while set in Greyhawk the modules take place in another plane.

I series: Intermediate.

Mostly unconnected modules set in various locations- only some modules take place in Greyhawk. I2 was retroactively adopted in 2000. Some are related to Greyhawk through deities and themes but set in a nonspecific setting. For example I9: Day of Al'Akbar deals with the Cup and Talisman of Al'akbar, but is set in a generic arabian setting. I12: Egg of the Phoenix, is the compilation of R1-R4 of the Role Playing Game Association series written by Mentzer (Not to be confused with the RPGA series of the same namesake), which was intended to be set on Greyhawk's Oerth but never officially became so, in the Aquaria continent. I7 could also easily take place in the Hool Marshes.

L series: Lendore Isle.

A series written by Lenard 'Len' Lakofka, set on the isles that were part of his own campaign setting, but would be adopted into Greyhawk during the creation of Greyhawks map. L3 of the series was delayed, and L4 and L5 were never officially published, but were posted onto Dragonsfoot by Lenard Lakofka. The adventures are available to download officially from Dragonsfoot (links in the table above). L4C is the Lendore Isle Companion Guide, designed to help run L4. L5A is the Campaign Guide, L5B a collection of adventures, L5C the Companion Guide and L5 [D] (only called L5) a collection of maps.

N series: Novice.

Only N1 is set in Greyhawk.N2-N3 are generic. N4-5 are set in Forgotten Realms campaign setting. The modules are not connected.

S series: Special.

Prior to the S1-S4 compilation 'Realms of horrors, unconnected modules, some of which may have been intended for other series.

T series: Temple of Elemental evil.

T1 and T1-4. T2, T3 and T4 were never released as individual modules. Six years passed between module publications, and the notes were finally given to Frank Mentzer to complete, as Gygax was busy working on other projects.

U series: Underwater.

Written by TSR's UK branch, this was a lovecraftian trilogy.

UK series: United Kingdom.

The first three modules were specifically set in Greyhawk, by UK4-6 were set generically. UK6 was retroactively adopted into the Greyhawk setting by implied references to the Hek Tribe. The others in the series are easily adaptable to fit Greyhawk as well.

WG series: World of Greyhawk.

1-3 were never given to published works. S4: Lost Caverns of Tsojcanth was thought to be originally intended for a WG code, as was parts of the T series. The modules are mostly unconnected other than the setting.
