About the adventure
🏳️🌈LGBT Friendly 📜Step by Step Character Creation📜 Walkthrough available for those who would like assistance making a custom hero. Learn the different classes and origins so you can choose the ones that speak to you. ⚔️Fight Back Against the Forces of Chaos⚔️ Monsters who normally despise each other have begun to collude, turning their attention to denizens of the Keep. Chaos is at work here, and their efforts will undo civilization if left unchecked. Only you can stop them. 🎭Make New Friends and Rivals🎭 The world of D&D is full of friendly and hostile characters who you can impress, cajole, persuade, and threaten. Who will you make friends with? Who will attempt to inconvenience you while you are recovering at the Keep? Nice or mean, the Keep on the Borderlands needs your help - whether the locals appreciate it or not. D&D Beyond will be used for character sheets, and its Maps function will be used for Tactical Combat when necessary.

About me
I was first introduced to D&D 3rd Edition as a child and never stopped playing games. Sharing the hobby with new people is one of my favorite things to do. Whether the game is D&D, Pathfinder, or something totally different.
