This is my first Website for this class. I chose to talk about Advanced Dungeons & Dragons. I have been playing this game since it came out in 1973. I remember saving up all my money to buy the books as they came out.

This is the Dungeon Master's Guide.

This is the Player's Handbook.

This is the Monster Manuel.

This is the module B2 the Keep on the Borderlands.

The first adventure I played in was B2 the Keep on the Borderlands. I lost so many characters in that adventure that I started to not even give them names until they lived long enough to earn one. The first character I had that earned a name was a Dwarf. He had been stabbed by a kobold's spear. He pulled it out of himeslf and stabbed the kobold to death with it. So he took the name Oaken Shaft Spear Thruster.

The forest you have been passing through has been getting more dense, tangled, and gloomier than before. The thick, twisted tree trunks, unnaturally misshapen limbs, writhing roots, clutching and grasping thorns and briars all seem to warn and ward you off, but you have forced and hacked your way through regardless. Now the strange growth has suddenly ended - you have stepped out of the thicket into a ravine-like area. The walls rise rather steeply to either side to a height of about 100’ or so - dark, streaked rock mingled with earth. Clumps of trees grow here and there, both on the floor of the ravine and up the sloping walls of the canyon. The opening you stand in is about 200’ wide. The ravine runs at least 400’ west (actually 440’) to where the western end rises in a steep slope. Here and there, at varying heights on all sides of the ravine, you can see the black mouths of cave-like openings in the rock walls. The sunlight is dim, the air dank, there is an oppressive feeling here - as if something evil is watching and waiting to pounce upon you. There are bare, dead trees here and there, and upon one a vulture perches and gazes hungrily at you. A flock of ravens rise croaking from the ground, the beat of their wings and their cries magnified by the terrain to sound loud and horrible. Amongst the litter of rubble, boulders, and dead wood scattered about on the ravine floor, you can see bits of gleaming ivory and white - closer inspection reveals that these are bones and skulls of men, animals, and other things,. . . You know that you have certainly discovered the Caves Of Chaos.(page 14)
