This series has been taunting me for a while, but alas, I'm a little short on cash this week, so I was wondering, which game do you think offers the best introduction to this fantastical universe for someone with absolutely no D&D experience? Thanks in advance.

So many games to play, i have missed out most of these gems as i was a child at that time, but now i shall buy them as i couldn't find them in stores or websites or any pirate sites, hopefully they run on Win 7 and 8 !

I've been waiting for the Neverwinter series to go on sale. I have the box version of NWN, but have lost the original product codes and can't re-install on my new laptop. I never really wanted the other games, but I'll buy the full bundle anyway since it is a good deal. I don't know when I'll get the time to play them all (along with all the other games I have). Thanks GOG!

This is an incredible promo, and if I didn't have most of these games in various other forms I'd be sorely tempted.

*looks at the deal*

Good...GOD.

*gets a towel*

I was expecting Pay What You Want promo for Hasbro titles. But this promo can handle that job ;)

Anyway, what about new PWYW sales?

My wallet bleeds.

This promo struck me like thunder, I've already had most of these games and finally managed to pick up Planescape: Torment and Temple of Elemental Evil.

Now only D&D Dragonshard and Demon Stone are left to finish my collection. *Which I'm highly considering*


Thank you GOG! You just made my weekend <3

collection completed

This is a MUST HAVE!

Unless...you've played every one of this games, some ot them twice.
Unless...you don't have a spare 1000+ hours for these fantastic games (although Demon stone and Grayhawk are not that good as the other ones).
Unless...you already don't own the CD versions of these games (NWN2 excluded).

I do fullfill all these conditions. I got to cry into my pillow, muuuuuuuuuuuuuuuum.

Personally I think this is the best promo thus far...



Nuff said.

It is difficult to really put an order of play on these titles since they are really the cream of the crop with regards to D&D lore. Games like Ultima VII and such are probably the only grand titles missing out on this promotion. I can give you a suggestion on 3 titles (series).

The Baldur series 1 and 2 are a well established classic that is really and I do mean really loved. The game in itself is normal for a now-a-days standard, isotropic view, modified yet good game mechanics, etc. The reason why this game is so loved though is that the characters in the game are wonderful. They are fleshed out and it is as if you get to know them and their personalities. This game did so much to create characters that feel real and living that you will always hear about the Baldur series whenever D&D is discussed.

The Temple of Elemental Evil will always be a personal favorite of mine. Boy do I love this game. Flaws and all. It might or might not be the game you buy if you have limited funds, but if you do, you will experience what D&D has always been about. The game in itself is short and the locations limitied. Few, very few towns, mostly it all takes place in exploring the tower (temple). What makes this game so exceptional is the application of the rules (rolls). It is superb in this aspect. You can't play this game without having activated the "show the rolls" aspect of it. At least that is what I think. They are so well executed that it is the only reason, the only reason I can think as to why this game has such a cult following. Simply incredible.

Planescape is likely your best bet if you are on a limited budget. Mainly because it will give you a good bang for the buck. The game is long. I do mean loooong. But don't mistake long for boring. It is well thought off and at the highest standards when it comes to D&D. It also breaks the mold of D&D being in a medieval setting (dragons, knights, swords, etc) which I think gives it a bit of "specialness" in that aspect.

The Icewind Dale series and the Neverwinter Night series are classics. I don't go into much detail about them, even though I played them to death and really like them, but I can't seem to find anything that makes them stand out in comparison to the other ones. That said, you can't go wrong with these games in terms of D&D enjoyment. I love both series.

That's pretty much it, hope my opinion helps a bit.

Had all the games on the list besides NW2 and with it only being $4 I had to give in and buy it :) gog rocks with all its deals

Planescape Torment was one of the few games I played where I was sad when I knew I was getting close to finishing it. I simply didn't want it to end...I think there were multiple endings and I should probably replay it get a better idea what happened since it was a bit confusing for me.
