+====== Against the Giants ======
+{{ :d20:g123.jpg?nolink&200|}}
+This adventure series consists of //Steading of the Hill Giant Chief//, //Glacial Rift of the Frost Giant Jarl//, and //Halls of the Fire Giant King//. They are amongst the earliest of the published Dungeons and Dragons adventures (for 1st Edition AD&D).
+I ran this campaign in 2004 using 3rd Edition rules. After failing to find enough giant miniatures, I finally settled on some cardboard counters to represent the 'bad guys' in combat. This was a lot cheaper, easier to carry around, and made book keeping a lot simpler, since each counter can be marked with remaining hitpoints (I wasn't bothered about the players knowing this), spell effects and so on.
+The counters may or may not be useful to others, but since they're done using HTML, they should be easily customisable to any adventure.
+===== The Counters =====
+The whole set of counters is {{:d20:counters.tgz|is available as an archive}}.
+==== Notes ====
+I made the **Hill Giants** a lot easier (3rd edition giants are a lot harder than 1st edition giants), but splitting them between different farms, and using a lot of young giants as well.
+For the **Frost Giants**, I added some undead and creatures from the //Book of Vile Darkness// to this lot, just to
+spice things up a bit.
+The **Fire Giants** include lots of giants, some big dragons and Drow.
