How to Identify: D&D B2 Keep on the Borderlands

This episode looks at TSR's 1980 adventure module, B2, The Keep on the Borderlands, and examines the 9 different version of the item. Once you learn how to do it, you can quickly be an expert and identify which printing of this legendary module you are looking at, as well point out some of the interesting changes between different version -- and you can do it every time in under 60 seconds... guaranteed! (**Note: the alternate art on the cover to the international versions is by Jim HOLLOWAY, not Jim Roslof, at 17:07 - 17:40 of the video**) What is it Wednesday episodes help collectors and sellers of RPG items identify the precise printing, edition, or version of an item: an RPG rule book, accessory or boxed set, miniature, magazine or other awesome memorabilia. And it also let's me share some of what I've learned about the stuff that I enjoy. And if you really want to geek out and test yourself, go on eBay or your other favorite sale site and start looking at different versions for sale. With just a couple of photos of the item for sale, you can start to get really good at this, really quickly. Watch the video and learn how to identify which printing, which cover, and which edition of the most famous D&D module you're looking at. ** I'm not offering any valuations here, but as with most RPG collectibles, two things to keep in mind: earlier is better and condition is key. *** Link to the Acaeum website: https://www.acaeum.com/index.html *** Thanks again to the folks who did awesome work at the Acaeum site.
