'''''Forgotten Realms Unlimited Adventures''''', usually known simply as ''Unlimited Adventures'' or ''FRUA''/''UA'', is a RPG [[Game Maker]] released in 1993 by SSI Inc., which allows to create RPG games in the "[[Gold Box]]" style, much like ''Pool of Radiance'' or ''Secret of the Silver Blades''. The game's system is based on ''[[Dungeons and Dragons]]'' (and is apparently a mixture of the first and the second edition). The basic world given to the player is based on the [[Forgotten Realms]] role-playing game setting, but this is in no way binding.
A small but vivid community quickly was born; despite FRUA's age and the fact that SSI doesn't exist anymore, the community still exists, albeit smaller than before. Over seven hundred designs (FRUA games) have been created so far, and the development of 'hacks' allowed to remove most limits and modify many things which were so far unchangeable; apart from classic fantasy designs, games have been made in Sci-Fi, oriental or even contemporary settings.
Line 6:
The [http://frua.rosedragon.org Magic Mirror] is THE repository of FRUA designs, resources and knowledge. There's also a [http://ua.reonis.com forum].

* [[Art Evolution]]: Comparing the oldest designs to the newest ones shows how much the community has progressed. (It also helped that computers themselves developed during all these years, allowing easier graphics editing and the like.)
* [[Artificial Stupidity]]: Computer-controlled NPCs (party members that join throughout the game).
