The title is a nod to a classic Basic D&D adventure module and is inspired by that adventure. Outpost on the Borderlands details strategic and tactical environments. The strategic environment is the outpost, detailed with maps and NPCs. It represents the last bastion of civilization before entering the deep outback on the planet Laco, Dixon's Star. While it represents civilization it may not necessarily be all that civilized. 

The tactical evironment somewhat mirrors the original D&D module with some details and potential encounters on the map detailing the countryside around the castle and a mini dungeon crawl. 

The first goal is to provide a home base for adventure that can be used long past the adventure portion of this module. The second is to pay homage to a classic D&D module.
