D&D

This Saturday on the official Blizzard Watch Twitch channel at 2:30 PM Central time, our intrepid band of adventurers will once again sally forth into the mysterious jungles of the island of -- well, so far exploding volcano lairs, giant magma dragons, angry kobolds riding on giant monsters, and crashing airships.

If you're playing Dungeons and Dragons or just like reading the books -- and there's no shame in that, I'm a huge fan of way more RPGs than I've actually gotten to play -- you may be wondering what Baldur's Gate: Descent Into Avernus, the latest D&D adventure, is all about.

Sooner or later -- and probably sooner -- you're going to say Okay, everyone roll for initiative when playing Dungeons and Dragons.

Okay, so you're running a D&D game.

If you missed it live on our Twitch channel this weekend, you can now go and listen to part three of Blizzard Watch's D&D campaign.

Hi.

We're two sessions into our Blizzard Watch Dungeons and Dragons game, and so far we've seen our party of adventurers wake up on slabs, fight their way through a goblin infested volcano lair, steal an airship, interrogate a goblin they've named either "Bud" or "Bob" depending on who you ask, and crash said airship into a river while it was on fire from the breath weapon of a dragon that hatched out of that same volcano.

Few game series have had the footprint of the Baldur's Gate series.

Look, it’s a nice song.

It's hard not to conclude that Bethesda Game Studios put out a plagiarized D&D module to promote the Elsweyr expansion to The Elder Scrolls Online — then took it down when the similarities between it and The Black Road module from Wizards of the Coast became apparent.
