    A special feature on the impressions and details I harvested from the Baldur's Gate Gameplay Demo reveal by Divinity: Original Sin creators, Larian Studios, at Pax East.

    I took a deep-dive into the new Dungeons and Dragons video game from the perspective of a dungeon master with a specific analysis of how D&D 5e rules were being handled in the game. I'm really excited about what the Baldur's Gate 3 game has to offer D&D players and video-gamers alike!
