Overview

The Borderlands campaign is set in CY 566 on the western frontier of the Yeomanry in the World of Greyhawk campaign setting. It is based on the classic 'Dungeons & Dragons' module 'B2: Keep on the Borderlands' updated to use the 5th Edition rules.

It is also our "D&D Kids" campaign. Three of our kids -- two boys, one girl, all 10 years old -- wanted to learn how to play D&D. 'The Borderlands' is where we do that. The game is played once a month and supplements our other D&D campaigns.
