After the success of the original game, a book and a D&D module based on the Pool of Radiance plot were also published.
The story revolved around the mythical city of Phlan, which had been overrun by forces of evil. The city had originally held off many attacks, but the forces were marshalled by a dragon which was believed to be possessed by a powerful spirit named Tyranthraxus. The object of the party was to clear the old city of its maruading inhabitants, so the people of Phlan could rebuild and repopulate the areas.
The "Gold Box Engine" had two main features. Outside of character creation, game play took place in a screen that displayed text interactions, the names and current status of your party of characters, and a window which displayed images of geography, and large or small pictures of characters or events. When combat occurred, which was often in these games, you switched to a full screen combat mode, in which player character icons could move about to cast spells or attack icons representing the enemies. All the games typically involved long dungeon crawls, and were heavier on combat than on role playing.
The Gold Box games formed a number of series in which you could move characters who had finished one game to the next one in the series:
The Forgotten Realms series:
The Dragonlance series:
The Savage Frontier series:
In addition, characters from "Pool of Radiance" could be imported into Hillsfar , a game based on an entirely different engine, and then exported into "Curse of the Azure Bonds."
