Heroes of the Borderlands- A narrative expansion to the core starter set.

A brief introduction. I was a dnd player back when i was a student. Then life happened and i never played again. In the last year through a chance meeting with some fellow dnd lovers, we decided that now in our fourties, we would try to give it another go. We got the heroes of the Borderlands set, which is a fantastic set overall, to ease us in.

However as i took on the role of the DM, when i started preparing for the campaign, i noticed that even though the box was a fantastic starter set with a lot of value, it lacked any narrative depth, any overarching story or any emotional impact. 

I decided to correct that and as the results in our campaign were very well received, i decided that i would share this with the community.

I liked this a lot. I did something similar when I ran this, I didnt like it not having a through line of a story. 

Amazing! I love, not only the content, but the layout of this document.

I am running an adjusted and home-brewed campaign using Heroes of The Borderlands as my skeleton also. I, too, felt that my players wouldn't get much fun out of some of the more frivolous tasks so have been building much higher stakes and there are some similarities in our overarching narratives.

I do think this set works quite well as a setting for you to build your own story in and offers some good character models as ingredients for anyone looking to craft a campaign using a pre-built sandbox and some solid central characters. https://100001****/   

I'll definitely be saving your document and if I ever run it again with a different group I would love to include a few ideas! Thank you for sharing!
