negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I was asked to run a kids (& parents') Dungeons & Dragons game, so I’m taking a little work break to dust off 3.5 this morning. The ruleset vibes with me more than 5E. Thinking of setting the one-shot (and possibly more) in the Forgotten Realms. Feels like the right setting to hook new players.
unlabelledView post →Its kinda lame to see everyone saying that the younger crown wouldn't enjoy these games. I've personally been having a blast with them. Already beat Pool of Radiance, leveled a character in Hillsfar, now I'm halfway through Curse of the Azure Bonds. It has been a genuinely good time so far and if more people were aware of their existence I'm positive more people around my age would agree with me. These are definitely worth a buy!

unlabelledView post →One couldn't help but notice that while the trailer was mostly dark horror, they worked in some 'sexy' horror and one wonders if this was an effort to communicate to the BG3 fans that this game will be BG3 levels of horny. 🤷♂️ But Rivellon is just not as interesting a setting as Forgotten Realms.

Bundled in this collection are seven Advanced Dungeons & Dragons-based titles originally released in the late '80s and early '90s, including Pool of Radiance, Curse of the Azure Bonds, Secret of the Silver Blades, Pools of Darkness, Gateway to the Savage…

unlabelledView post →This is a good article, but the way I see it, fantasy settings can be divided into two types: gold standard (most D&D and especially Forgotten Realms, Oblivion) and silver standard (Warhammer, Game of Thrones, First Law). The difference is that in the gold standard settings, no one shits.

It is our B-game for when folks can't all be there for the other game that is on the edge of being done.

When I found out I could legally buy and play the older Forgotten Realms games, I was ecstatic. But it seems like I'm just too young for this. It's probably something you can only properly appreciate if you grew up with it. The pixel graphics are not my problem, I play and enjoy a lot of games with pixel graphics. But the game…

Over dinner, we discussed Baldur's Gate 3, and I mentioned that I've been playing D&D for over 35 years and Forgotten Realms is one of my favorite settings. Now they want me to DM a game for them 😊

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →If you can put up with AD&D1e's "quirks," these games are a fun ride. So far, I've only played through Pool of Radiance, the first in the Forgotten Realms tetralogy (Pool of Radiance -> Curse of the Azure Bonds -> Secret of the Silver Blades -> Pools of Darkness). The game has some interesting historic features: To save disk space, player journal entries are all stored in a manual that the player is directed to refer to by in game text (e.g. The game might tell you "You copy the diary page…

These are DOS versions of GoldBox games, the only difference from originals are that they are cracked, and you won't need to consult a manual after each reload. It also contains a very helpful utility - GoldBox Companion. It lists your save games by date, has an auto-map which you can edit, contains rest fix, which can help you in some particularly brutal encounters, it has most journal entries from the manual in a convenient format, and also has…

I know not every game is going to so firmly seat you in its world, but damn, a genealogical life path generator is brilliant in terms of grounding.

unlabelledView post →Pool of Radiance is the first ever DnD video game (released in 1988). It starts off brutal, but levels off if you can manage to get yourself to a lvl 3 party, so retreat and rest after each encounter until you lvl up. Also The game is open-world so you can skip encounters until you are ready for them. Once you are strong enough to get past the first encounter area, the game gets surprisingly addictive. The original game had a code wheel that was required to actually play the game (an old form…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Each of the games in this collection seem to have their own quirks that make them eventually unplayable. One doesn't actually save, another saves but asks for a disc when loading a saved game (so it hangs until I shut it down), another lost the game I saved. I love the old genre for nostalgic reasons, but these are too frustrating to play with these issues. Maybe use the games as a character-generator for offline D&D.

unlabelledView post →A great bundle of crpgs except for the Hillsfar. It's not recommended to max out the stats in Pool of Radiance, because this will make random encounters tougher, if you want much fewer of them then play with 4 characters. Demi-humans are a bad choice because of the very low level cap. It's also ill-advised importing characters through the whole Pools series, but better to instead create new ones, especially a ranger in the CotAB. In the last game PoD you should have 18 dexterity for every…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →TL; DR these games are good and do offer hours of enjoyment, the median length I spent on each game was about 30 hours. However, these series will not appeal to everyone for various reasons. I myself thought I had tolerance for older games, but I did consider quitting after my first session, but I persevered, and I am glad that I did. For brevities’ sake I will refer to the games by acronym, and I will not discuss the two spin-off games: those being Hillsfar (completely different gameplay)…
