RPG's by setting and relationship to DnD.

[Urban Ranger]

How could anybody forgot about Ultima and Wizardry?

None of these are D&D.

Planescape: Torment is not D&D, and is not based in the forgotten realms. It is based in the planecape universe. It uses modified D&D rules. It bears a strong resemblance to D&D but it is still different enough not to be called D&D.

[Dis]

don't forget Diablo2 and 1

not d&d

Dungeon Seige

not d&d

Morrowind

not d&d by a long shot- very different rules and races.

Many minor games- divine divinity, other diablo clones.

Pool of Radiance is D&D and based on the forgotten realms. I believe the temple of elemental evil is as well.

The forgotten realms by the way (correct me if I'm wrong- I'm no D&D junkie) is the world (or is it just the continent) of many D&D adventures. But there are other universes and such for D&D, but I never really see anything based on that. Games like Baldur's Gate 2 do allow you to travel to some of these planes- like the Haer De (can't spell this bard's name- he's a Teifling) quest that takes you to another plane. Also the planar sphere.

I ahve the source books

really? hmm okay. I just figured it wasn't since so many rules are different.

[Jamski]

Planescape is DEFINITLY D&D.

D&D games :
Baldur's Gate 1 (and expansion)
Baldurs Gate 2 (and expansion)
Pool of Radiance
Curse of the Azure Bonds
Secret of the Silver Blades
Pools of Darkness
Pool of Radiance 2 (Ruins of Myth Drannor)
Icewind Dale (and 2 expansions)
Icewind Dale 2
Neverwinter Nights (and 2 expansions)
Temple of Elemental Evil
Planescape Torment
Deathknights of Krynn
Two other Dragonlance games (can't remember the names right now)

Ummm... there's probably more.

so it seems like theres a whole lot of RPG's set in Forgotten realms - pools of radiance, IWD, NWN, and a whole bunch of older games. Theres also a whole bunch of RPG's with no relation to DnD, notably fallout, Diablo, deus ex, elder scrolls series, etc.


The only case of a DnD game that is not in a Forgotten Realms setting is Planescape:Torment. Any others?

[Jon Miller]

there is probably some setin Greyhawk

Temple of Elemental Evil is, isn't it?

[General Ludd]

And some of the 'gold box' ones aswell... I'm not sure what setting any of them are in.

[LDiCesare]

Temple Of Elemental Evil is D&D not in Forgotten Realms (Geryhawk is the first campaign world for D&D).

And since noone mentionned them, there's Rogue, Nethack, Angband, and other roguelikes which are not D&D and hardly have any universe. But then these are a bit archaic. (before anyone flames me, I still play Nethack).

[Jon Miller]

I still play all of them

and I did mention them

I enjoyed the Realms of Arkania series which are non D&D and based on a German PnP sytem i think. The games were Blade of Destiny, Star Trail and Shadows over Riva. Bit dated now (the first was an Amiga game) but high on my list of classics.

[LDiCesare]

and I did mention them

Ooops. Sorry. Missed that.
Btw ToEE is in Greyhawk but that doesn't really matter much considering it's mostly a big dungeon.
