I'm glad to hear someone else say this. Keep on the Borderlands is practically holy sacrament for players of my generation, but I think it's pretty meh. It's just a monster hotel, really. And unlike the G modules, not a very inspired monster hotel.

When I read Return to the Keep on the Borderlands -- which is brilliant -- it made me realize how dull the original is by comparison, and how little Gygax did with the premise. There, I said it. Burn me at the stake if you will.
Of course it was dull. It was written by people who didn't know what to do with what they had yet.
Yet here we are 50 years later and WOTC still doesn't know what to do with what they have yet so...what do I know?
 


Wouldn't that make 5e into 4e and 5.5e into 5e? 😋
Hey, it’s just like how both the iPhone and Windows went straight from 8 to 10.

Hey, you're preaching to the converted. But there are poeple who absolutely insist that 5e borrows nothing from 4e.
Honestly I’ve not encountered those people before. This is actually the first time anyone has cautioned me about expressing that particular opinion.
