Greetings, fellow codexers. To cut a long story short, I'm completely inexperienced with any and all Gold Box Games (for starters, they came out before before I was even born). Hell, I don't have much experience with Golden Age CRPGs in general, with the only exceptions being Wizardry and Ultima Underworld (and Betrayal at Krondor, but I played very little of that one, so it doesn't count YET).
I intend to rectify that somewhat by playing Pool of Radiance; needless to say, I suspect it will be quite different from most of my experiences with the genre so far. What do I have to keep in mind to make my playthrough as satisfactory as possible? I know that I should use the Gold Box companion, the online code wheel and make absolutely sure one of my magic users learns Knock eventually, but that's about it.
