Pool of Radiance: Video Game Design in D&D | D&D Walkthroughs
Patreon:
Our newest episode is out! In it, we discuss the first D&D adventure to be converted into a video game: The Ruins of Adventure. This module was released as a tie in to the Pool of Radiance video game which would become the first of the Gold Box series. We also take this opportunity to discuss the history of the Forgotten Realms, the default setting for D&D.
