The Keep on the Borderlands- Quill: White Box

Adapted by Tarcisio Lucas

The Quill White Box supplement has brought many new features to our beloved game.
Shortly after, Scott Malhouse published an article on his site - Trollish Delver - with a
method of how to adapt published adventures for Quill White Box.

Well, here's my first try. You should follow the rules of the basic book, the Quill:White
Box and the published article (the title is: "How to convert published adventures to
Quill: White Box Scenarios").

So, with you, Keep on the Borderlands!

What you need to play this adaptation:

-Quill, the basic book;

- Quill: White Box, in order to choose your character;

-To read the article mentioned above;

-The D&D module “Keep on the Borderlands”;

you can't you perish.

6-9: you have scraped through and find 2d6gp

10+: you have told your tale of bravery well. Find 2d6gp x [section number]

Calculate your final score

If the majority of your scores were 5 or less, you have failed. Lose all items. If you
cannot, you die.
