About the adventure

Rising from rugged crags amid a harsh countryside, the Keep on the Borderlands is a bastion of peace amid an otherwise brutal wilderness. The keep’s stalwart defenders protect their community from the forces of chaos that would revel in its fall. The wilds of the Borderlands teem with dangerous animals and ravenous monsters. Beyond the Keep on the Borderlands hide the Caves of Chaos, a network of monster-infested caves where by a wicked cult lurks. Danger awaits foolhardy adventurers who enter the caves—but so do treasure and glory.

About me

I was thirteen years old when I first rolled dice, at a game of Dungeons & Dragons using the AD&D 3.0 edition ruleset, the last TSR published rulebooks. My Dungeon Master days started when I was fifteen. Big fan of CRPGs: Planescape: Torment, Baldur's Gate, Icewind Dale, Fallout, Neverwinter Nights, Temple of Elemental Evil, Pool of Radiance, Knights of the Old Republic, Gothic, Elder Scrolls, Solasta, Pillars of Eternity, Tyranny, Shadowrun, Call of Cthulhu and the list goes on, I love gaming! I have Game Master experience in a variety of systems, including (but not limited to) Dungeons & Dragons 3, 3.5, 4 and 5e, Call of Cthulhu, Star Wars RPG (Saga, Revised, FFG), Pathfinder 1 & 2, Starfinder, Conan 2d20 (Modiphius), Fallout 2d20 (Modiphius), Vampire the Masquerade, Mage the Ascension, Dragonbane, ALIEN, Modern d20 / Everyday Heroes. Experience as a player includes Dungeons & Dragons 2nd, OSR (Sword and Wizardry), Warhammer Fantasy (FFG & Cubicle 7), Warhammer 40k (FFG & Cubicle 7), Shadowrun, Dresden Files RPG, Legend of the Five Rings, FATE, Savage Worlds, Fantasy AGE (Ashes of Valkana) Collaborations with well-known hobby stores in Athens, Greece organizing and holding events such as Adventurer’s League, D&D Encounters, Pathfinder Society and more! Volunteer work at non-profit organizations that I shall not name due to uber toxic and truly unnecessary competition as well as free loader mentality.
