Greetings,

My first RPG game was Ultima IV on the Atari 800XL. Since then I've played quite a few but not too many D&D style games. I did like EOB I and II. It was like playing Dungeon Master (On my Atari ST) for me. I didn't really pay attention at the time that it was a D&D game. After that Baldures Gate I and II for a bit but didn't stick with it. (Not because I didn't like it, but Real Life gets in the way sometimes. I do have both set up and playable.)

So here I am many years later and want to begin my Gold Box adventures. I never really took a good look until recently. I got the games from ebay because I wanted the manuals. I know they're available in PDF but prefer the feel of the manual itself. I guess it takes me back to my younger days of gaming.

I just recently noticed that one of the GB games is "Champions of Krynn". This sparked a memory so I looked through my library and found a book entitled "The Complete Krynn Source Book. Leaves from the Inn of the Last Home. " It was published in 1987 and I have the original publication.

My first question is;

1. Would reading this enhance the play of the GB Krunn trilogy prior to playing? Or should I wait until after I play the trilogy?

And second;

2. A tad off topic; of all the GB games should one play these in order of publication to get the best experience? Or is there a unique order of playing them outside of their publication date?

I appreciate any feedback you have.

-Thanks

Might be magic...
Publication date is usually the best order. They generally allow importing characters from the previous games too.

Not sure about the book. The games do tie in with the stories a little - some of the characters from the books appear in the games as well, so it's fun to see them pop up. I've never read "The Complete Krynn Source Book" though.
