5.0 out of 5 stars A Great Classic!, April 1, 2000

This review is from: Dungeon Module B2: The Keep on the Borderlands (Paperback)

This is one of the great classic adventures of olden days. It gives the characters a good base of opperations and tells them obviously were to look for adventure. However, it does not press a specific story line onto them, letting them choose when, how, and why to adventure into the dark and dangerous CAVES OF CHAOS! (great name).

(HALL OF FAME REVIEWER)    (VINE VOICE)    (TOP 100 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   

This review is from: Dungeon Module B2: The Keep on the Borderlands (Paperback)

Keep on the Borderland is an AD&D (1st edition) module for character levels 1-3. This module is intended to be introductory, and includes notes on being a Dungeon Master (referee) and running a player character. Included are the plans for the Keep, along with its inhabitants, and several outdoor adventures. The crowning jewel is the Caves of Chaos, a series of caves inhabited by evil humanoids, and more frightening monsters.

This module is an absolute must for anyone just starting out in AD&D. It is relatively simple to run, and has enough adventure to raise the characters experience and propel them into their new careers. This is quite possibly the best AD&D module ever produced.

5.0 out of 5 stars An essential module for D&D, May 15, 2002

By 

Tsang Lok Ming (Hong Kong) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Dungeon Module B2: The Keep on the Borderlands (Paperback)

It was written by Gary Gygax, the founder of TSR. This is his only one module written for D&D. (He paid more attention on AD&D line, after TSR divided Original D&D into two product line in late 1970s, D&D and AD&D) Instead of "fill-in-your-own" monsters and treasures in B1, a pre-scripted dungeon was used. All future module adopted this format. The module included a keep, wilderness, and dungeon complex. A DM can even develop it further. A Must Have module for D&D. As a most common module (and hence easy to get) among D&D modules, Why don't you get one?
