The Keep on the Borderlands It seems like it was just yesterday when we opened up that red box and began our adventures into the Caves of Chaos The back and forth of us venturing from the Keep to slay evil lurking the in caves (and making a bit of coin in the process) kept us occupied for many, MANY hours. Only novice adventurers who have come to try their hand at dungeon delving in this traditional training spot stand in their way. Humanoids, undead, and evil minions of a dark goddess plot to destroy their enemies. But evil once again stirs in the fabled Caves of Chaos. The trained warriors once stationed here and the experienced adventurers who once flocked to the spot are long gone.

Now, almost twenty years later, the Keep has declined into a sleepy outpost settlement. First published in 1981, B2, The Keep on the Borderlands by Gary Gygax has been played by more people than any other roleplaying adventure, providing an introduction to the hobby for hundreds of thousands of gamers.
