Chaos! (Caves of Chaos. that is...)



I don't know what's in the water in the OSR blogging community, but module B2: The Keep on the Borderlands is having a strong showing this weekend.  

First thing I came across today was Jeff Sparks' video blog, which is about the module, and why he's using it for his Labyrinth Lord game.  Then, I find B/X Blackrazor's accounts of his players adventures in the Caves of Chaos, which are just priceless.

Anyone who knows me knows I am highly suggestible.  So, who's up for cave crawling??

  1. The first thing I ever ran for DnD was the little haunted keep where Black Dougal died.

    The second thing was Keep on the Borderlands. I even made individual 2foot/square graph paper maps of every.. yes, every.. building in the keep. I put furniture in them, even including carrots and cleavers on kitchen counters.

  2. Wait...

    Someone is actually WATCHING that vlog?!

    ;-)

    Blackrazor's posts have also been giving me a lot of food for thought about B2 lately. I'm looking forward to tonight's (1st) session. Ultimately, though, I want the PCs to get up to 3rd or 4th level so we can roll into B10: NDT.

  3. Some old school D&D would be great. At one point I had that module memorized. It was the first thing I ran my brother and friends through when I was 10.

  4. Funny, I just made a blog post about B2 also! It's a timeless topic, I guess...

    @Raven's Path - I'm impressed you ran this module when you were 10! When I was 10 it was way too complex for me and blew my mind - I had no idea how to run the overland or town/keep aspects of the module.

    Michael, please tell me you have/could make scans of these! Scans + your commentary would make a superb post series.

  6. As much as home inspections are important,commercial property inspection also holds a vast importance as offices are considered to be the second place where people spend most of the time in a day. It is very important to get the place inspected thoroughly as EPA reported around 21000 deaths annually due to radon exposure which causes lung cancer in non-smokers. Radon inspection maryland is nothing as compared to the price you will have to pay when prolonged radon exposure will result in causing major health issues. Radon is a colorless odorless gas present in the air all around us in trace amounts but it becomes a hazard when it gets entrapped inside the house and the residents of the house are exposed to it. The safe levels of radon as suggested by EPA is 4pCi/l and the amount more than it is alarming and you need to install a radon mitigation system at your commercial property as soon as possible.

  7. It is a common known fact now that radon is a very harmful gas which can get trapped inside our house and then our lungs if inhaled for a longer period of time and it has known to cause lung cancer in non-smokers. In fact, it is the second leading cause of lung cancer after smoking. Due to this reason and as stated by EPA, radon exposure leading to lung cancer takes around 21000 lives annually which is a very alarming figure and this is the reason that without radon testing maryland is incomplete.
