Template:BookSteading of the Hill Giant Chief is a 1st Edition AD&D module, meant for between 3 to 9 player characters of around level 9. This module is intended to be followed by the rest of the G series (Giant), G2: Glacial Rift of the Frost Giant Jarl and G3: Hall of the Fire Giant King, then followed by the D series (Drow).

This module was also part of the G1-2-3: Against the Giants, compilation and the GDQ1-7: The Spider Queen Mega module. It was converted to 5th Edition D&D in the Yawning Portal.

This module series was also novelised.
