It's wonderful to be getting so many new D&D-related games, regardless of whether they're an RPG, if only because the well of great experiences has simply not quite yet been tapped, as the vast potential for immersive fantasy adventures is too great. However, when an RPG does come around, it deserves a tad more attention, as it has a greater chance of replicating the tabletop experience than any other D&D game. A good example is a brand-new Dungeons & Dragons RPG that promises to deliver an old-school experience akin to the Baldur's Gate series that fans of BG3 will likely enjoy. While perhaps not to everyone's taste, this new D&D RPG marks the return of a cult classic, one that has been restored and rejuvenated thanks to a plethora of new quality-of-life improvements. The best part is that it is available right now via Steam, making it easier to access than ever before. Pool of Radiance: Ruins of Myth Drannor is a brand-new D&D RPG that launched on Steam on November 6, 2026. This isn't merely an RPG like Dungeons & Dragons, but rather a re-release of an official D&D RPG from 2001. Serving as the fifth and final game in the Pool of Radiance series, Ruins of Myth Drannor is a turn-based dungeon-crawling experience played from a very Baldur's Gate-esque isometric perspective. Players create four unique heroes and recruit a further two before heading into sprawling dungeons in search of enemies to fight and treasure to loot. There is, at the heart of Ruins of Myth Drannor, a narrative, although it isn't the central focus in the same way it is for the Baldur's Gate series. Rather, Pool of Radiance: Ruins of Myth Drannor places a greater emphasis on combat and exploration. This is easily the element that has been elevated the most through this remaster, although the crisper visuals, widescreen support, numerous bug fixes, and new controller support are all also welcome additions that greatly elevate an otherwise solid D&D RPG. The remaster of Ruins of Myth Drannor improves the game's UI, making combat feel a lot smoother and easily accessible to a modern audience. There's also the option to toggle the game's combat speed, making previously arduous encounters a little more breezy. For those who wish to preserve the original Pools of Radiance: Ruins of Myth Drannor, you absolutely can, as this remaster features a Legacy mode to ostensibly also serve as a traditional PC port. Ruins of Myth Drannor may not be the greatest D&D RPG of all time, but its new remaster certainly showcases why it's fondly remembered. Currently, the game is only available on Steam, although it is possible with the new controller support that it could eventually make its way to consoles. While it is still a fairly clumsy game running on old D&D rules that may not be worth the new asking price for some, it is still great to get a new Dungeons & Dragons game that can scratch that itch for an experience like Baldur's Gate 3.
