The Keep on the Borderlands (B2) is a Dungeons & Dragons module. It became a staple of all fantasy roleplayers in the early 1980s, as it was included with the version of the Dungeons & Dragons Basic Set made in 1981 and 1982.
Players arrive at the eponymous Keep, where they situate themselves before investigating the Caves of Chaos, chockful of humanoid tribes uniting to destroy the Keep. Plot twists include a treacherous priest within the castle walls, hungry lizardmen in a nearby swamp, and a mad hermit in the wilderness. It typifies the "dungeon crawls" associated with beginning D&D players, while permitting some limited outdoor adventures. It has been remade for Third Edition D&D audiences, but the classic cover still remains iconic to veteran gamers from the 1980s.Template:Game-stub
