Alliteration: The Caves of Chaos where the majority of the adventuring takes place in.
Tropes used in Keep On the Borderlands include: The name was reused in 2010 as part of the D&D Encounters program, this time giving the Keep the proper name of Restwell Keep and locating it in the Nentir Vale. A version for Hackmaster, entitled Little Keep on the Borderlands was released in 2005, and served as a "parody" of the original. Return took place two decades after the original. A sequel Return to the Keep on the Borderlands was released 20 years later for 2nd Edition D&D and controversially relocated the Keep to Greyhawk. Keep has been critically acclaimed in its time, named by players as one of their favorite modules and awarded by Dungeon (magazine) as the 7th best D&D adventure of all time in a 2004 issue.Ī novel was released in 1999 along with other classic adventures. The majority of the hooks involve the Caves of Chaos located not far from the Keep. Set in the Known World of Mystara with the majority of the other BECMI rulebooks and adventures, the Keep was intended to provide a "home base" for beginning adventurers and provide them with numerous adventure hooks to take. As the module packaged in with the majority of the Red Box sets, it became one of the most run-through modules in D&D and one of the most popular. Keep On the Borderlands was an introductory module for the Red Box (Basic) version of the non-Advanced Dungeons & Dragons.
