Ruins of Adventure is a Dungeons & Dragons module that was based on the "Gold Box" role-playing video game Pool of Radiance, published in 1988 by Strategic Simulations, Inc. (SSI). Mike Breault stated that TSR chose him, Winter, Cook, and Ward to work on the design and writing for Pool of Radiance, indicating that the material was originally created for the game.[5] However, according to the editors of Dragon magazine, Pool of Radiance was based on Ruins of Adventure, and not vice versa.[6] The plot loosely tracks that of the computer game.[3]
