Commentary by gaming luminaries on the history and development of these modules, including gaming legends such as Frank Mentzer and Luke Gygax who were “on the inside” when these modules exploded in popularity.

A new interview with gaming legend Mike Carr, author of B1: In Search of the Unknown and early gaming pioneer.

Digitally restored scans of both B1 and B2, including multiple printings of B2: The Keep on the Borderlands. B2 went through nine printings in its original form, and there are material differences between the first three printings and subsequent editions. These include changes in monster stats and significant differences in interior art. Two printings are presented in their entirety to highlight these differences. The historical material also includes the true story behind the cover art of B1, which was the only cover image TSR ever published that featured the signatures of both David Trampier and David Sutherland.

A thorough and complete conversion of both B1 and B2 to the 5E rules set, fully playable with the original maps.

New 5E content providing additional detail on the areas surrounding the Caves of Chaos, including, at long last, the Cave of the Unknown.

Additional material for playing B1: In Search of the Unknown, including several completed monster and treasure assortments ready for play.

A variety of additional essays, commentary, and other material for play.
