One of the best series modules, Aug 2 2006
By Steve "Book worm" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Vault of the Drow (Advanced Dungeons & Dragons) (Paperback)
This module started it all. There has been many books written about the Drow but they were first introduced in this module.
This module details the vault, and the culture of the Drow as they were originally designed. The module will give hours upon hours of good roleplay depending on how fast the PCs want to go into the Q1, Queen of the Demonweb Pits. For anyone who reads the books on the Drow, this module is a must have.

Gygax's Eternal Masterpiece Will Never Be Equaled, Jan 14 2002
By Alphonso Warden - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Vault of the Drow (Paperback)
Dear Gently Reader:To say that this module is a classic would be a gross understatement.This module, along with the others in the series -- Against the Giants, Descent Into the Depths of the Earth, Shrine of the Kuo-Toa, and Queen of the Demonweb Pits -- serve as the high water marks for Dungeons and Dragons (all editions of the game) modules. For goodness sake, how many modules do you know of where you're given the opportunity to do battle with an actual deity -- Lolth, in this case.
Now for a brief synopsis: The module starts out with the party leaving the Shrine of the Kuo-Toa for a far off drow outpost in the Underdark. Along the way, the PCs do battle with an assortment of baddies, chief amongst them a drow magic-user and his succubus consort. Towards the end of the module, the PCs penetrate a major drow fane dedicated to Lolth, located in a hauntingly beautiful drow city, where mind flayers, devils, and demons freely walk about. Here, the PCs fight off dozens of drow clerics, magic-users, and fighters. The former equipped with powerful magic items called tentacle rods, which attack as 6 HD monsters independent of the rod wielder. The module climaxes with an epic battle with Lolth's avatar. At the conclusion of the battle, the PCs discover in their possession some strange magic items that serve as transportals to Lolth's home plane, the 233 layer of the Abyss, the dreaded Demonweb Pits. The last module in the series, Queen of the Demonweb Pits, details the Demonweb in rich detail. Once there, the PCs are given the opportunity to remove Lolth permanently from their campaign, for demons or devils killed on their home plane are permantly destroyed.
In short, high praise should be given to the author of this legendary series of modules -- Gary Gygax, of course -- for producing unparalled game aids. Long live the drow!

The first confrontation with Lolth, and the Drowic realm, April 29 2000
By Kent David Kelly "Author & Anthologist" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Vault of the Drow (Paperback)
The final chapter in Gygax's notorious Drow series draws us into the web of Lolth herself, and one of the most sinister, intriguing settings in AD&D - Erelhei-Cinlu, the nether city where drow rub shoulders with slaves, demons, vampires, and worse... an adventure your heroes (levels 10-14) will never forget; highest recommendation.
Listmania!
