Pool of Radiance:

Ruins of Myth Drannor

Brand New Jewel Case

An old franchise charts new territory with this Ubi Soft release of Pool of Radiance: Ruins of Myth Drannor. Top on the title's list of features is an employment of the 3rd Edition Dungeons & Dragons system. The game allows several of the new character classes and spells and accounts for many of the new rules defined in the updated core guide books.

Pool of Radiance: Ruins of Myth Drannor features a new story set in the campaign world of the Forgotten Realms, which may be familiar to pen-and-paper gamers as well as to veterans of earlier SSI titles. It seems that a newly found Pool of Radiance has become active, deep beneath the ruins of Myth Drannor, and it is having strange and unsettling effects on the good inhabitants of New Phlan. There will be no peace if the ancient dangers that the Pool represents are allowed to grow unchecked.

Something bad - very bad - is causing the original Pool of Radiance underneath the city of New Phlan to re-activate and exude a wave of power that makes anything that it touches undead. The player characters soon get swept up by the mystery and find themselves on the quest to find out what is behind resurgence and put a stop to it....
