D&D's new starter set looks back at Gary Gygax and his most popular module
Briefly

The Keep on the Borderlands is a Dungeons & Dragons module by Gary Gygax that has been iconic since its release in 1979. It was included in the Basic Set, replacing B1 due to a legal dispute. The module became highly regarded, selling nearly 1.3 million copies. Its enduring appeal lies in its non-linear format, allowing players to explore a mini-sandbox adventure with opportunities in a borderland setting between civilization and wilderness, catering to new players without overwhelming them. The module is recognized as an essential starting point for generations of D&D players.
The Keep on the Borderlands, first published in 1979, remains a timeless introduction to Dungeons & Dragons, appealing to new players across generations.
B2's success is attributed to its excellent design, offering a mini-sandbox adventure that provides freedom for heroes while remaining accessible to beginners.
