D series modules

[mmurphy1968]

I have a friend who is going to relieve me as game master for a while so I can, finally, play again. He is going to convert the D series of adventurers to Pathfinder from 3.5. After looking at them they don't seem like a chronological series, the level requirements jump around at the end. D0 is for level 1 characters, D1 for level 2, D1.5 for level 5, D2 for level 7, D3 for level 11 and the D4 falls down in level to 6. Is D4 for not part of the story started in the earlier ones? I don't want to read them and don't want my friend to get to confused since he has only run a game one other time (D&D 3.5) and that was many years ago.

Took me a minute, since my mind went to the classic D-series (AD&D Descent into the Depths).

D0-D1-D1.5-D4 is a series.

D2 & D3 are unrelated.

The "D" notation was intended to let people know it was a mostly Dungeon style module, not to denote a series. It was (and apparently still is) confusing and was dropped.

Thanks.
