''Queen of the Demonweb Pits'' (''Q1'') is an expansion Module for '' Dungeons & Dragons ''.

Aside from the rule books for ''Dungeons & Dragons'', TSR provided a number of adventure scenarios that could be played in a series or as standalone outings for characters in this Role-playing Game .

''Queen of the Demonweb Pits'' was the seventh in a massive series of adventures starting, innocuously enough, with Persistent Raiding by local hill giants and propelling the players from there on an odyssey into the Darkest Depths Of The Earth . At the end of the preceding installment ( Vault Of The Drow ), the characters find an astral gate leading to the Abyssal realm of Lolth , Demon Queen of Spiders, goddess of the Drow elves, and architect of the sinister plot that impelled our heroes to lay waste to a veritable horde of hill giants, frost giants, hill giants, kuo-toa and drow on the way. Of course, the characters press on, as they must, into the heart of Lolth's Demonweb Pits .

''Q1'' was the first module that offered a glimpse into the could, if he chose, launch an entirely new campaign. Of course, at the very end, there is the final confrontation with Lolth, who is an exceptionally difficult challenge. The strange time and space bending effects gave the Abyss the otherworldly feel that it deserved, and the effect of the entire series was a feeling of playing in a massive world of which the players could only see a small part. ''Queen of the Demonweb Pits'' was later republished as part of a compilation volume, coded GDQ1-7, containing the entire saga.
