    ERm; what is Pools of Radiance (besides being an older Black Isle RPG)? Is it any good? Worth getting?

    Are you talking about the original Pool of Radiance, or POR: Ruins of Myth Drannor? I don't believe either of them had anything to do with Black Isle, but for info on POR:RoMD look no further than the site you're currently posting on: http://www.sorcerers.net/Games/PoR2/index.php

    That is good to hear. Alot of people are preordering the game. If you like turn based games, you are in for some fun. :)

    Oh wow, we haven't heard from you in ages Nazgul. I hope there'll be some traffic here when the game gets released so you'll be able to participate. :)

    We'll also fix you up with an avatar then. (When you actually start posting here regularly.)

    Is this game only going to be a turn based thing or is that just an option?

    Only turn based... But you can adjust the time intervals between turns.

    The turn-based action in POR2 is really awesome in my opinion. Unlike BG and BG2, you should be able to cast spells, both clerical and arcane, without having to pause the game like I did. The spell affects I've seen in the screenshots of the game are really cool too.
