Borderlands: RPG

In the distant future, humanity has expanded across the galaxy in search of resources, power, and forgotten secrets. On the desolate and chaotic planet Pandora, a barren world plagued by savage creatures, lawless bandits, and heavily armed corporations, legends spread of mysterious alien structures known as Vaults, said to contain advanced technology, unimaginable treasures, and perhaps... something darker.

With the promise of fortune and glory, four Vault Hunters arrive on Pandora, each with unique abilities, a troubled past, and a personal goal. However, they soon discover they are not alone in their quest: powerful arms corporations, ruthless warlords, and even artificial intelligences are willing to kill to control what lies within the Vaults.

As they unravel Pandora's secrets and battle armies, mutants, and monsters, the hunters will face decisions that will test their morality—and that of the entire world. On a planet where madness is the norm and violence is routine, only the most cunning, armed, and daring will survive.

Welcome to Borderlands... where the end of the world is just the beginning of the adventure.
