[QUOTE="TheHand, post: 9283754, member: 88835"] I agree about the posters talking about Silverblades being a slog, it was a huge let down from one of my favorite entries: Azure Bonds. I found the higher level entries in most of these games kind of unfun, though Pools of Darkness goes so absolutely bonkers in its extreme power shenanigans that it edged out Silver Blades. The lower level Dragonlance ones are good and I think the Savage Frontier games are underrated and often overlooked, probably because they came out at the end of the gold box run, when the game engine was really getting creaky and new games like Eye of the Beholder were imminent. It was really cool that they released the whole gold box construction set game at the end, I had a lot of fun building my own little adventures and monsters. Oh and the strange Buck Rogers ones… exist! [/QUOTE]
