No idea how to use it. But this is a cipher wheel? for Espruar and Dethek that came with the hillsfar dos game.

One of these also came with the Pool of Radiance game. There was at least one instance in the game where you used it to translate from Espruar to english so you could read something.
All of those old "Gold Box Games" are currently being sold by GOG.com I think it is.
I'm tempted by the nostalgia of it, but those games are so old and archaic I'm not sure I could do it.
"Sigh" Pool of Radiance was literally my intro to the Realms. Good times. |

as intended? idk you'd have to be pretty crafty, and i would imagine there is a matrix behind the wheel, so copying that and then getting the symbols to turn on their own... |

Aye, I get that part. I'm just having a headache figuring out how I'd print this pdf out to use it in the manner it was intended.  |

Nice find. I'd love to figure out how to use it. Could make for an interesting puzzle maker for my home games. |
