[QUOTE="thalmin, post: 5926025, member: 662"] Thank you so much for this thread. I have hated Keep on the Borderlands since the second time I played in it, over 30 years ago. Back in the early days, I must have played in the Keep at least 5 times. I enjoyed it the first time. But when another DM decided to run it again for us in spite of the fact we had all already played in it, I hated the thought of playing it. Same for the 3rd, 4th, and 5th times. But I still played it each time, and I had fun playing it each time. It was the THOUGHT of playing it again I disliked, not the adventure itself. I never learned the layouts because each time we played it, the game was different. More important, I resented it being the playtest module, but softened because I realized most of my players probably had never played it. But it was a boring play because there was nothing there. [B]I[/B] made it boring because I expected so little of it. I ignored the hooks and such at the beginning and I never made the adventure MINE. Having read the many comments and arguments, I can't wait to run Cave of Chaos this week for my playtest group again. It sure won't be the same adventure we have been playing for months. We are going to have some fun. Thanks for helping me to pull my head out of my...um...back pocket. ;) [/QUOTE]
