[edit] References

Compiling some external sources:

You also may note some of the existing references, particularly Anon et al. (2007), Anon & Mearls (2007) and Collins (2002), have further ininformation that can be integrated/cited. This is a good choice for a module to flesh out as there is lots of external references. - Waza 20:47, 25 March 2007 (UTC)
  • There is a review of Against the Giants in White Dwarf 35 (Sorry don't have this issue) - Waza 12:43, 30 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Combine with D and Q series

User:Turlo Lomon started to combine these modules at User:Turlo Lomon/draft, some of which may be useful. - Peregrine Fisher 01:10, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

Is combining these really helpful? This article is a reasonable size as is, I think comining it with DQ series would just make a larger article with no real point to being so. While I can understand not wanted heaps of stub articles there is no reason articles need to be merged if they are already over a page. - Waza 05:04, 2 April 2007 (UTC)
  • I agree with Waza. The G & D series, at least, can stand on their own, and Q1 is classic enough to warrant its own page.--Robbstrd 18:25, 13 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Infoboxes

Do we need all 4 info boxes in this case? I know I argued for individual info boxes on Dragonlance modules (DL series) but I think this is a diferent case. Here the useful info in all the boxes is the same (author, levels, date) Also as these were some of the first modules ever produces and because of that some of the shortest, and they only were printed in smaller print runs there is less likelyhood that they will ever develop into their own articles. For these reasons I think a simple image galler of the modules would be better here. - Waza 05:11, 2 April 2007 (UTC)

Change it around to whatever you think is best. Fine with me. - Peregrine Fisher 20:46, 3 April 2007 (UTC)
I was thinking something like this, but probably won't have time to integrate it poroperly for a few days. - Waza 23:41, 3 April 2007 (UTC)

G1 Steading of the Hill Giant Chief

G2 Glacial Rift of the Frost Giant Jarl

G3 Hall of the Fire Giant King
I changed them to thumbnails, see if you like it. I'm kind of against using galleries when it comes to fair use images. I seems like it attracts the kind of people who like to remove images. - Peregrine Fisher 23:52, 3 April 2007 (UTC)
OK - Waza 00:05, 4 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] This page is linked from official WoTC page

This page is linked from the official Wizards of the Coast site, publishers of D&D, in their article[Previews for April and Beyond]. Well actually the link is http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glacial_Rift_of_the_Frost_Giant_Jarl hich redirects to this article. Not sure if it is noteable for inclusion in the article. I guess it shows that the new mini (large, Rare) Frost Giant Jarl -- the big, bad guy (and namesake) from G2 Glacial Rift of the Frost Giant Jarl could probably at least be mentioned? - Waza 23:43, 22 April 2007 (UTC)

Wow, cool. - Peregrine Fisher 06:25, 24 April 2007 (UTC)
