So, after about a 2 year hiatus from gaming, I finally got back into it with some guys from work. I'm running them through a mashup of Giantslayer and Second Darkness. It is going to be book 1 of Giantslayer, with a couple of details from Second Darkness brought in, a fair mix of both second books, and then pretty much Second Darkness. Been trying to think up a name for this mashup, and I'm coming up blank. Any ideas?

So sort of like the old G-D-Q series of modules, with the orcs and ogres and giants being manipulated by the drow...
... call it "Against the Darkness"
Why are you trying to mash up two of Paizo's weakest APs? :) Granted, the first book of GS is good and the second one is a-OK, but for SD, it's pretty much exactly the reverse, with first books being fine and the AP taking a dive later on.
A few reasons. If it was up to me alone, I'd have been running Iron Gods or Carrion Crown, but those I had a player for each who would rather not play than play them. I have Rise of the Runelords and Bell's Rebels, but wasn't wanting something as urban as HR, and one of the players played in my Runelords campaign. All that considered, I was going to run Giantslayer as written, but then Second Darkness went on sale and one of my players is a huge drow fan. The characters were already rolled for Giantslayer, but none were built especially with fighting giants in mind. Since I'm a little sick of giants after Runelords, I decided to combine the APs.

it's not a bad call. the first two books of Giantslayer are superb. just make sure you try to incorporate a tower that falls on its side and starts rolling...
