D&D (2024) Heroes of the Borderlands

[Scribe]

It’s pretty easy to fix with a new cave map, and it has lots of nostalgia value and an archetypal scenario. Seems better than letting it rot to me.

Nostalgia for all the 12 year old new players?

My players are interested in things from the early days of D&D despite not having been born at the time.

That’s not what nostalgia means though.

"Heroes of the Borderlands" is not 'the early days' its a masquerading as such for reasons.

Doesn’t matter what you call it, people like stuff from before they were born. My home town has a WW2 nostalgia festival. Pretty sure very few of the people who attend are over 80!

And the WW2 festival doesn’t actually involve getting bombed.

I would hope its an accurate reflection of remembrance, or is it light on detail and heavy on nationalism and pageantry?

It does matter. Words mean things. If they didn’t these conversations would be much much shorter.

It’s the latter, that’s what people want.

I mean fair enough! "just the superficial warm and fuzzy, we dont need accuracy and facts in our lives" pretty much is 100% on brand for our society now.
