Nerdcognito - Episode 240: WotC to ”Revise” Keep on the Borderlands; Building Intrigue as a DM

Continuing the path of destruction and erasure of the OG creators of D&D, Wizards of the Coast has announced that the new DND 5.5/OneDND starter set will include a new version of B2: Keep on the Borderlands, but "updated for modern audiences."  Why are they intentionally scrubbing or rewriting classic content that has no need for revision?  Then, after the news which includes even MORE reimaginings, the gang talks about how you can build layers of intrigue, mystery, and engagement as a Dungeon Master for the players at your table!   ----more----

The News:

• ...not just "Keep"
• Diablo IV borrowing from D2!
• Darkest Dungeon 2 meets XCOM?
• That (cardboard) Treasure Chest (notebook) is a MIMIC!
