Continue reading “GBP: Pool of Radiance Part 12 – Valjevo Castle”The Koval Mansion isn’t the last City Hex we have to go – Stojenow Gate and Valjevo Castle still remain. However, it is the last city hex we have a quest for – and indeed there are no official quests for those areas, so theoretically we can just push through right now.

While I’m doing this, I thought I’d talk a little bit about how I’m playing this game.
