[QUOTE="Saracenus, post: 5453886, member: 47839"] GameDoc, D&D Encounters' Keep on the Borderlands is not conversion of the old mod into 4e. It takes place in the Chaos Scar, a location in the Netir Vale. Restwell Keep, as it is formally known, was inspired by the original Keep on the Borderlands but is not a direct copy. Mike Mearls has made a great "safe zone" as adventures jump off into the Chaos Scar. See Dungeon issue 176 for more details: [URL="http://www.wizards.com/dnd/Article.aspx?x=dnd/duad/20100323"]Dungeons & Dragons Roleplaying Game Official Home Page - Article (The Keep on the Chaos Scar)[/URL] NOTE: This is DDI content, so a sub is required. There is a general wiki devoted to the Chaos scar here: [URL="http://community.wizards.com/chaos_scar/wiki/Wiki_Contents"]Whoops!

Browser Settings Incompatible[/URL] The Chaos Scar is an attempt to make a sandbox style adventure area, as you get deeper into the scar the more challenging the encounters. New adventures are published almost monthly for it (it now spans the entire Heroic tier). I will say the DDE Keep on the Borderlands adventure is one of the best published adventures by WotC for 4e. Plenty of action and role playing to be had. The encounters are interesting and varied. The plot is layered like a tasty cake of nastiness.
