[QUOTE="Schmoe, post: 7349917, member: 913"] I used B1 for the first time a few years ago to introduce my oldest to the game, and I was seriously underwhelmed. It creates a random collection of mundane, unrelated encounters, then provides the DM with a vast, blank map and tells the DM to assign the encounters randomly on the map. It is about as uninspiring as a module can be. The only tidbits available to spark creativity are the vague history of the dungeon complex and the layout of the map, which still has bedrooms, eating chambers, etc. As an aid to teach the mechanics of creating adventures, it has its uses. Also, if you just need a dungeon layout or some throwaway filler encounters, you can use what's there. But if you're looking for anything else I think you'll be disappointed. After a couple of sessions my my son I rebooted to B2 and we were both much happier. Speaking of B2, I wrote up a thread around here on some of the tweaks I used to make it more playable. I'll see if I can dig it up. Edit: [url=http://www.enworld.org/forum/showthread.php?566013-Revisiting-The-Keep-on-the-Borderlands&highlight=Borderlands]Found it![/url] [/QUOTE]
