Our take on Forgotten Realms: The Archives - Collection Two
The collection’s range comes with a split focus: its games use different combat modes and settings, while the scenario-building tools belong to only one of the eight titles. That means players looking for a uniform campaign experience may find the collection uneven.
What is Forgotten Realms: The Archives - Collection Two?
This collection brings together eight Forgotten Realms titles: Pool of Radiance, Curse of the Azure Bonds, Hillsfar, Secret of the Silver Blades, Pools of Darkness, Gateway to the Savage Frontier, Treasures of the Savage Frontier, and Forgotten Realms Unlimited Adventures.
The games combine turn-based and real-time role-playing, with party creation, exploration, quests, and combat across different settings. Some entries continue earlier stories, and Pools of Darkness and Treasures of the Savage Frontier allow characters to carry over from their predecessors. Unlimited Adventures adds tools for building maps and linking areas, placing monsters and non-player characters, and testing scenarios. It also includes a pre-made adventure with four quests that can be modified.
