Giant mushrooms twist about each other, rising like trees as they block out the sunlight. Corrupted crystals bleed from the earth, glinting with malice. Mist circles your feet as you stand in the Banshee’s lair. Captain Valentine’s voice rings out: ‘Watch out, she’s going for a total party kill!’ What do you do next?
Well, you grab your shotgun, of course, and run head first into a chaotic battle of green slime, loot boxes, and unicorns! This is Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands… Dungeons & Dragons if it accidentally got into all of the blue Smarties, mixed that with a barrel load of energy drinks, and led you through a fever dream campaign. And it leaves you kind of looking forward to next week’s session.
I came to Wonderlands as someone who loves Dungeons & Dragons, but has never completed a Borderlands game. I’m in multiple weekly campaigns – both DMing and playing – I have more dice than any reasonable person needs, and my shelves are lined with Beholder statues and Wizkid minis. So when I saw Borderlands was taking its popular Assault on Dragon Keep DLC and turning it into a full blown game, complete with TTRPG on the side, I knew I had to grab some fellow nerds and jump in.
