Start with POOL OF RADIANCE because it is the very first gold box game. And if you like it, you should like all of the others. You can move your characters over to the next game which is fun. 2. Start with CURSE OF THE AZURE BONDS (the sequel to Pool of Radiance) because Pool has two problems you might not be able to look past. First, it has no fix command making healing your party a chore. Second, combat can sometimes take a very long time to get through. I *think* they fixed this by the second game. Certainly by the third. 3. Start with the game that is set in the world you find the most appealing. Here is the entire sequence of games --> FORGOTTEN REALMS 1. Pool of Radiance 2. Curse of the Azure Bonds 3. Secret of the Silver Blades 4. Pools of Darkness DRAGONLANCE 1. Champions of Krynn 2. Death Knights of Krynn 3. Dark Queen of Krynn SAVAGE FRONTIER 1. Gateway to the Savage Frontier 2. Treasures of the Savage Frontier BUCK ROGERS 1. Countdown to Doomsday 2. Matrix Cubed
