Back in January, I did a post about renders for my then current character run through of Baldur’s Gate (Test with Engines and Styles). I stated at the time it was sort of a look at where things currently stood with the renderers I was using (in January of 2026).…

Our run up to the Forgotten Temple proved to be mostly frustrating. A lot of destruction left behind. We found oursives fighting both the original temple priests and guards, and some of the attackers. These were Yuan-Ti, large and vicious snake men.Basically we stepped into a war zone and were…

An exciting moment as we marched out with the expedition. Hrothgar seemed to be a good leader, no doubt energetic and commited to helping a neighboring town. We had not only seen most of the expedition members around town the last couple days, but obviously many of them were old…

We entered the small frozen town and discussed where to head, it seemed a rustic tavern had some activity. It might be a good place to get some information and see where we could find this “Hrothgar.” Hrothgar affirmed we was putting together a band of heroes for an expedition.…

This will be an alternate recreation of a team I created a couple months ago to play through the old Gold Box games. This team has already been through Pool of Radiance and Curse of the Azure Bonds, and I hope to continue their adventures into Secret of the Silver…

We had a possibility on how to find Tyranthraxus. We had met a strange hooded man back at the Standing Stones north of Essembra. He said to “come see him” when we only had one bond left. Apart from the strong “trap” vibe, this seemed like a solid lead. It…

We had determined we needed to get to Yulash or Zhentil Keep next. As the Keep would mean passing through Yulash, we decided to just see what we needed to see in Yulash first. There was a war going on here, between Red Pumes from Hillsfar and Zhentrim troops. The…

I wanted to start with notes this time. As I’ve noted before, gameplay of these games is clearly old and dated, but they are very fast and stable on DOSBox. Really, the best these games have ever played. I remember back in the day (yes, I’m old) usually having a…

Diomedes and his fearless team just finished Pool of Radiance (PoR) and now continue into the next game of the series. As mentioned before, role playing-wise this is the same exact crew. But for a few reasons I chose to recreate the team rather than import. The first reason, Diomedes…

The second of the classic Gold Box games. Curse is a direct sequel to Pool of Radiance. It is the second of four games that form a series (the next installments being “Secret of the Silver Blades” and “Pools of Darkness”). It is unique as far as I know for…
sMan that Remorhaz? look awesome! I love how that turned out. Also Yux and the Yuan Ti! I remember how…
I think the composition is just a thing GPT does better? SeeDream always seemed to struggle with it. There are…
Some fun stuff there. The Yetis look good, as do the undead hordes. Mytos looks fantastic! That came out particularly…
Yeah more than two and it gets confused. Even the introduction to Hrothgar, I set it up for all six.…

The Rhemoraz thing is the Skineater. It starts as more of a Shambler, then a Carrion Crawler, then another Shambler.…
