GOG loves D&D

The Best of The Best. Unrivaled Champions of the genre. Nine of the Greatest. The Supreme Achievement of isometric era. Matchless. Perfect. 11 out of 10. Yes, you've guessed it--we're talking about D&D RPGs. From now until Friday, September 21 at AM 9:59 GMT [url=http://www.gog.com/en/promo/hasbro_stacking_promo/]you can buy fantastic Hasbro RPGs from the world of Dungeons and Dragons up to 65% off! If by some terrible twist of fate you didn't have the chance to add all of those Diamonds to your collection, now is a chance to correct this terrible injustice. Let's take a peek into the treasury, shall we?

In the center of our D&D chamber we've got the iconic Baldur’s Gate: The Original Saga and Baldur’s Gate II: Complete that collectively received over 10 “Best game of the year” awards from publications such as PC Gamer, Eurogamer, Computer Games Magazine and IGN. And in the cold, ice-filled corner there's the Icewind Dale and Icewind Dale 2 series that brought the D&D license to a more combat-oriented RPG gaming. The strange shimmering light comes from the inter-dimensional portal where Planescape: Torment resides. Winner of multiple RPG and Game of the Year awards in 1999, it is widely considered as one of the best storytelling RPGs in gaming history.
The treasure chamber wouldn't be complete without Neverwinter Nights--a game with a great single player campaign that offers even greater multiplayer experience and modding capabilities. This game is literally one you could play the rest of your life, if you were determined to get through every single user-created campaign or keep attending a multi-player server. And don't forget about the somewhat underrated gems in the collection! Dungeons & Dragons: Dragonshard is a fascinating blend of RPG and RTS. Forgotten Realms: Demon Stone is an action RPG with some interesting tactical elements to go along with the usual hack and slash of the genre. Finally, Temple of Elemental Evil, one of the tougher tactical RPGs ever--so hard that it balances on the fine edge of fairness.

A short news post like this is not nearly enough to give justice to each single D&D Diamond available in this promo. And because GOG staff loves D&D so much we are going to tell you about our personal experiences with those games throughout the week, starting tomorrow. But enough talk! Let the D20s roll! Visit the promo page to complete your collection of Diamonds of D&D!
A "Week-end promo" until the next Friday... GOG team must have veryyyyy long week-ends ;)
I just hope it will not conflict with other promotions such as gem promos.
Why DnD games always get this kind of promo? I own 4 of them retail so the last 2 I lack are only 44% down. Considering they are lowest rated DnD games here, I don't feel like buying them.

Endzville: Thanks for the reply, the Icewind Dales and Dragonshard don't really sound like my type of game in that case so that narrows it down thankfully. Will definitely consider Baldur's Gate and Neverwinter Nights but, as with yourself, I'm a nigh-broke student too so I'll see.

It's a better deal if you intend to buy most of the games is my problem so I could honestly just be leaving it and pick them up on another promo to be honest.
If you do get them, play them before Planescape Torment. This game is just so different and the writing is so good that I think you wouldn't enjoy a more generic fantasy as much shortly after playing it.
I promised myself once, i'll finally overcome my distaste of AD&D and finish some of these games. I guess that time has come. ;)

Faithful: I thought gog had moved beyond the buy-them-all for the best deal approach, but sadly it has not.

Too bad as I see a couple titles to add to the ones I already own from gog, but it is a no go at less than 50% off.

Mrstarker: You know that you also get a discount for the items you own already, right?
Yes, I do, but thanks for pointing it out in case I did not. I presently own 3 of the games that are on sale.

The one game I really want makes it a very poor sale, if I add the other one I so-so want it stll makes it less than 50% off (44%).

I'd buy a couple if it were a flat 50%...
Hopefully we'll soon see NWN 2 here as well.

I had the same distaste for many years. Then much later Icewind Dale 2 managed to turn that distaste into love and excitement, and now I'm all over them D&D's (the better games of the bunch, that is)
Because I'm sick and grumpy: a bunch of people I've never met and whose names I don't even know are going to tell us about their experiences playing video games? I don't know if my poor heart can take the excitement.

(On a less grumpy note, some great games here. If you haven't played Torment, do that.)

I take it you don't like to watch or read game reviews much.
The previous incarnation of this promotion was what made me create a GOG account... I must admit, though, that I'm not sure the same would have worked today, since the D&D Anthology will be a lot cheaper on GG in some future sale...
Finally I have all of them! Many thanks to GOG team. :)

Nice, you own all games from this promo.
:)
Just wanted Planescape. It is 3 euro's cheaper alone, but I got really excited at first at the price on the screen...

I think I might get it anyway.
Great deal, too bad I don't have any money. Maybe next time.
