Dungeons & Dragons: Chronicles of Mystara out today
I don’t think this is what the hobby means by Old School Renaissance. That said; if you fancy a bit of retro clone action with D&D then you can download Chronicles of Mystara. The download is a revamp of two classic D&D comptuer game titles; Tower of Doom and Shadow over Mystara. It’s a feast […]
