The entire core cast of 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Baldur's Gate 3 will come t꧃ogether to role-play their own chara♉cters in what I can only describe as the ultimate D&D session.

On Friday, September 22 at 11am PDT / 2pm EDT / 7pm BST, Mark Hulmes of the will host the six actors behind Baldur's Gate 3's Origin characters for a tabletop session that appears to be s𒁃ponsored by Larian Studios. We'll see Neil Newbon as Astarion, Devora Wilde as Lae'zel, Samantha Béart as Karlach, Tim Downie as Ga🍎le, Theo Solomon as Wyll, and Jennifer English as Shadowheart.

you know the vibes are gonna be just right for that special Dungeons & Dragons blend of earnest role-playing and extremely silly shenanigans. 

Even before this D&D gathering, the main Baldur's Gate 3 cast members have been pretty proactive about sharing their love of the game. Béart's playthroug🃏h 🌼of Baldur's Gate 3 as Karlach is an absolute delight - almost as delightful as watching Newbon get killed by his own character afte🔥rꦍ rolling a natural 1.

I spoke with Newbon last month - you can read a big chunk of that Baldur'🌳s Gate 3 conversation he♔re - but in a few quotes that didn't make the published interview the actor made absolutely clear that he is and always has💜 been a superfan of both D&D i🅘n general and Baldur's Gate in particular.

"I played the original when it came out," Newbon told me. "My friends and I played - it was the first time I played a role-play multiplayer game, through a friend that had a LAN system or something. It was amazing. I remember being completely blown away, and feeling this is as close to tabletop role-play as you can get. I was also a D&D geek and a Warhammer geek and all this kind of stuff. I'vꦏe been a fanboy for most of my life."

It doesn't get much more 'full circle' than growing up as a tabletop nerd and eventually joining a D&🌺;D session as the beloved character you played in the biggest digital Dungeons𒈔 & Dragons game ever. I can't wait to see what hijinks the whole cast gets up to.

None of us at the GR+ offices can stop roasting Heather for failing to recruit Karlach in Baldur's Gate 3.
