Saving throw successful.

At the behest of the mighty wizards, you have made a thousand-hour journey through the Forgotten Realms. As you reminisce upon your experiences, the critical hits, and the skill checks, little do you know that your quest is far from over. At dawn, you choose a new path through the DRM-free realm of GOG.com, and seek more adventure in the realms of Krynn, Dark Sun, and Ravenloft.

The missing pieces of cRPG history are coming back together! Our Dungeons & Dragons inventory just got bigger with three new packs containing seven long lost RPG digital premieres.

<span class="bold">--Dungeons &amp; Dragons: Ravenloft Series</span> - featuring Strahd's Possession, Stone Prophet - is one of the largest and most popular D&D settings ever. A gothic-noir universe ruled by the dark powers that be.

<span class="bold">--Dungeons &amp; Dragons: Krynn Series</span> - featuring Champions of Krynn, Death Knights of Krynn, The Dark Queen of Krynn - a trilogy of famous Dragonlance stories, based on the incredibly successful Forgotten Realms video-game formula.

<span class="bold">--Dungeons &amp; Dragons: Dark Sun Series</span> - featuring Shattered Lands, Wake of the Ravager - a pair of titles set in the post-apocalyptic take on D&D - a world where magic is banished and water is as scarce as hope.


Traverse, and become lost once more in, the incredible digital worlds of Dungeons & Dragons - once again resurrected from video game limbo and delivered straight to your modern computer. Hassle free, DRM-free, on GOG.com!

Yezemin: Is it bad that I have a sudden urge to cuddle my Death Knights of Krynn box?
We had users licking their games here, so a bit of cuddling should be okay too.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blood_%26_Magic (this one is Interplay not SSI though)

Also, not D&D but used the Gold Box engine/gameplay:

[url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buck_Rogers:_Matrix_Cubed]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buck_Rogers:_Matrix_Cubed[/url]

Then of course there was a bunch of pretty bad D&D games I don't know if anyone cares about, like Dragon Strike (dragon flying simulation), Shadow Sorcerer, Dragon Dice and of course the infamous Descent to Undermountain.

Oh and finally the "Silver Box" games which were meant to be "arcade action" equivalents to the Gold Box (*shiver*)... yeah don't play these.

There were also two console-exclusive D&D games made by Westwood, but I haven't played them so I can't vouch for their quality (or lack thereof):

EDIT: Oh and this too: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fantasy_Empires
Never heard of it so can't comment.
There's also War of the Lance, the only "green box" (wargaming) AD&D game SSI published.

And let's continue to forget about the forgettable Deathkeep.

Rixasha: Excellent releases once again.

Unfortunately I have been a bit too spendy lately and have also barely gotten started with all the Forgotten Realms ones, so I'll probably have to give these a pass for now. I'll be sure to grab them at a later date, of course.
These games have been in the void for twenty years... now they are not going anywhere ever again. Take your time, they WILL be yours before long :D

Will we get the Buck Rogers Gold Box games & all the rest of the assorted D&D games, even the bad ones?

Nice to see more D&D games. These remind me of the P&P AD&D days. Ravenloft and Dark Sun were neat settings.

I really enjoyed Warriors of the Eternal Sun but only played it on megadrive.

I assume Hillsfar was released on one of the forgotten realms collections?

I don't know if Dragon Strike fits into this category but I recently replayed it and absolutely loved it. Really loved the Dragonlance setting and the friendships i formed with my dragon(s).

NO GALAXY SUPPORT FOR THE KRYNN GAMES???

I am shocked. Why would you do this, GOG?

JMich: Be aware that the Dark Sun games have a lot of bugs. See attached.
Reminds me of this.

Close Galaxy and then start it again.

That works. Thanks!

WHY does it work, though? How peculiar.
