Is it still worth playing?
Strategic Simulations' 1989 role playing game, the second Forgotten Realms Advanced Dungeons and Dragons Gold Box game. It continues the events of Pool of Radiance and is a sequel to the 1988 novel Azure Bonds. The party is yours to bring or build. It holds up to six player characters and two non player characters, and characters can be transferred from Pool of Radiance or from Hillsfar, though neither has to have been played. Each new one chooses from six races, nine alignments and six classes, and starts with 25,000 experience points, which puts a single class character at level 5. You explore in first person through a window, with a status panel and a row of commands for casting spells, switching weapons or resting to prepare spells. A party carried over from earlier games, or built fresh at a higher level, still keeps a long campaign personal today.
