the q1 module was the first to offer a glimpse into the abyss, home to the "d&d" race of demons. it features a map of the demonweb pits, a series of interweaving passageways through a maelstrom of lost souls in the abyss. characters who venture off the path are probably lost, and many spells work differently (or not at all). in the maze there are portals to other worlds, some to which lolth sends minions to invade (such as a winter world and a world of permanent night). "queen of the demonweb pits" is an open-ended adventure; each portal can lead to a large area, from which the dungeon master can launch a new campaign.
