THE BARDS TALE MANUALS
THE BARDS TALE SERIES

The Bard's Tale IV: Barrows Deep (2018): A proper fourth part of the original series was successfully funded as a Kickstarter project in 2015 by InXile Entertainment, and released in 2018.

Like other games in the series, it is a first-person dungeon crawler, but is built for virtual reality, featuring action-based spellcasting, rather than turn-based combat.

The Mage's Tale (2017): A side-story game set in the Bard's Tale universe, developed by inXile alongside The Bard's Tale IV and released in 2017.

Brian Fargo only had the rights to the name but not to the content/stories of the earlier games in the Bard's Tale series at that point.

The Bard's Tale (2004): Action role-playing video game created by Brian Fargo, and published by Fargo's InXile Entertainment not a proper part of the original series.

The Bard's Tale Construction Set (1991), a game creation system that allows for the creation of dungeon crawl video games based on the Bard's Tale game engine.

In their attempt to stop Tarjan, the group becomes embroiled in a war among gods across several dimensions.

The Bard's Tale III: Thief of Fate (1988): The mad god Tarjan, Mangar's master, has returned to Skara Brae and destroyed the city, though as it turns out this was only a small facet of his revenge.

The Bard's Tale II: The Destiny Knight (1986): To save the realm, the group must find the seven pieces of the Destiny Wand, reforge it (so that an Archmage from the group can become the legendary Destiny Knight), and confront the evil Archmage Lagoth Zanta.

Tales of the Unknown: The Bard's Tale (1985): In the series' eponymous first game, the evil wizard Mangar has cast a spell of eternal winter on the small country town of Skara Brae to isolate it, and the player controls a group of adventurers who seek to find and defeat Mangar to free the town.

Both Cranford and Fargo have refuted the assertion that the original projected titles for the second and third installments were The Archmage's Tale and The Thief's Tale. From then on, the series was simply known as The Bard's Tale series. The Bard's Tale II: The Destiny Knight dropped the Tales of the Unknown series title, as did all ports of the original game after 1988.
