The preview offers comparisons to competing products, comparisons to the original PoR, an explanation of why the game will not quite live up to the promise of fully implementing the 3rd edition D&D rules, and more. In addition to the preview, the article offers a bunch of brand-new screenshots.

I'm not sure how they're getting away with calling this the sequel to Pool of Radiance. Follow along with me. First there was PoD, then there was Curse of the Azure Bonds. It didn't pick up the story line of PoD but you could import characters from PoD. I think it did mention some of the events in the first game. Anyway, next there was Secret of the Sliver Blades, again you could import characters from the previous game. Finally there was Pools of Darkness. again with the character import. If any thing could be called a sequel this was it. It actually did pick up where PoD left off. So does this new Pool of Radiance start after Pools of Darkness or does it negate it?

If it really wants to be a sequel it should let us import Pools of Darkness characters%) Ha!

(I edited this for spelling. Doh! I forgot to use spell check.)
