The last chapter in the GDQ series (comprised of the
Giants, Drow, and Queen subseries)
for AD&D. It was provided its own code to illustrate that it can be
easily played by itself. It is the only module in the GDQ series that
does not have a monochrome version.

The entire GDQ series was later combined into supermodule:
GDQ1-7 Queen of the Spiders

As the conclusion to the popular D- and G-series modules, Q1
prices at auction tend to be higher than their abundant supply
would suggest.
