Keep has a statted out base area, a nice wilderness/area map, and a dungeon broken dowen into bite-sized chunks all in one area. It's actually a very good beginner module and many people did start with it back when. Monsters in need of killing because they threaten a local village is pretty much the classic D&D scenario. I don't ever recall seeing the keep as a grind and running it for a couple of kids now they don;t seem to feel that way either. There's really not much needs to be done with it. names for the NPC''s maybe but it's perfectly playable as is.I liked Lost City but it's a slightly different flavor - buried city in the desert with a faction war vs a castle and evil monsters lurking in the countryside. TLC is very Conan-esque but I'm not sure it's the best intro adventure for a first-time DM.Thousands and thousands of people started playing D&D with B2 - it's the most successful intro adventure and most-printed adventure period for any RPG ever going by sales numbers. I'm not sure how you see it as this huge failure but it's a view I haven't encountered before at least. Besides, Keep on the Shadowfell is the 4E adventure I mentioned and it really has no relation to KotB. I do think it's better than the Red Box intro adventure we have now. Why not use it?</blockquote>
