Remember meeting friends at the local IHOP or in your basement to play some D&D? That's what this is. Perfect for a few hours' adventuring now and then. The dungeon master says..."you see 3 panels with elaborate sigils", etc. is the feeling you get. Your tactical options are wide open and every decision counts. And the story is at the correct weight for what this is. This game may be better than Baldur's, Darklands, and the Gold Box games. Once I finish I'll be eagerly awaiting new stories using this amazing gaming engine.
