The Pool of Radiance : Our Tabletop Campaign


The awesome cover art for the Pool of Radiance

I first played the classic Pool of Radiance game in the early 80s. I played it on my commodore 64 and I had great joy from it. I sometimes played with a friend where we divided the party between us and we managed to do several breakthroughs, and often we would make really cheesy characters with maxed stats.
Over the years I have come back to this game and when I could get a bundle of the gold box games for PC I was quickly on it. I still have a copy installed that I can fire up using my dos-box.

This is going to be an account and archive of our ongoing campaign
