Journey to the Land of Wizardry
The Wizardry program is truly magical. It allows your computer to open a portal into
a world far removed from todays high tech living. There brave warriors do battle with
evil wizards and fearsome monsters for riches beyond compare. It is a place where
careful planning and strategy are more important than mere reflexes. You will be able
to create and captain a party of stalwart adventurers about whose adventures the
troubadours will sing epics for years hence.
Proving Grounds of the Mad Overlord is only the main module of an extensive series
of scenarios. Each scenario will take you deeper into the legend and lore of the
Wizardry world. The characters and skills that you develop in Proving Grounds will
carry forward into the other programs. So hone your talents well, as Knight of
Diamonds, Legacy of Llylgamyn, The Return of Werdna, Heart of the Maelstrom,
Bane of the Cosmic Forge, Crusaders of the Dark Savant, and Wizardry Gold await!
In times to come, many other new scenarios will enrich your Wizardry experience and
challenge your leadership skills. Wizardry is not just a single game to play and put
away, it is Fantasy Role-Playing at its finest with years of campaigning ahead of you.
Journey now to Wizardry and let your imagination flow through the screen into a
world of magic and adventure.
