The Keep on the Borderlands [Adventures in the East Mark]

Hello, there! It is I, the ever-humble Sacrificial Lamb. It has been an astoundingly long time since I've posted on this forum, but I feel the urge to contribute again since our group just started playing again for the first time in a dog's age.



We played last night for the first time in a very long time. In doing so, we decided to go back and do something a little more "old school". We are playing the new game known as Adventures in the East Mark. This game is a variant of Basic D&D , translated from Spanish into English. As a first adventure, we're using the fabled adventure module known as The Keep on the Borderlands . This is the cover:







It's important to take note that this game is very simple, and is mostly compatible with Basic D&D . It looked great, so we decided to give it a try.



Before I continue, take note that some house rules were made for the sake of this brand new campaign:



* maximum hit points at 1st level

* material from Rules Cyclopedia , Basic D&D , and limited AD&D material is allowed

* characters start off with something called Fate Points. You can expend a Fate Point to avoid death (and fall unconscious instead), reroll a die roll, or randomly roll on a table (akin to Deck of Many Things, but less powerful)



To speed things up, the characters started off at the Caves of Chaos. It's late, so I'll continue this tomorrow. More to come soon...
