Pool of Radiance - Ruins of Myth Drannor preview

EuroGamer have taken a hands-on look at Pool of Radiance - Ruins of Myth Drannor, the long-awaited sequel to the gold box role-playing classic. Here's a little intro about the game's storyline:

The action centers around the Pool of Radiance, a magical McGuffin which creates a wave of energy that turns anyone it touches into a shambling undead creature of the night. Needless to say, when the old Pool under the city of New Phlan re-activates this is considered to be a Bad Thing. Immediately a group of the country's finest heroes is assembled by the mage Elminster and sent off to the ruined elven city of Myth Drannor to discover what has caused the Pool to come back to life. Unfortunately they vanish, and in a fit of desperation Elminster rounds up you and your mates from the local pub and sends you through a magical portal to find out what happened to the real heroes.
