My next run of the Bhaal saga I’ll do something a *little* different. Its been years since I’ve done any sort of reduced party. The reason is pretty simple, I love big parties. Even more so with NPC Project running. Everything just feels so much more alive to me. I…

Continue reading →: Icewind Dale Playthrough: Telemachus, gettin’ the Band Together
This Icewind Dale run will start with a pair of eccentric characters from my deep PnP character folder. The two main characters here, are Telemachus and Alcina. They started as husband and wife paladins. Those who’ve played much 2E PnP may recall the extensive non-weapon proficiencies list (NWPs). These were…

Continue reading →: Icewind Dale
Icewind Dale uses the same Advanced Dungeons and Dragons 2E rule set as Baldur’s Gate and the same Infinity Engine. The two games are even in the same setting. Since the Enhanced Edition came out the two games are more alike than ever. So what makes Icewind Dale unique? Apart…

First write up I’ll share here is the biographies for these two characters I ran through the saga a while back. I’ll start with a couple disclaimers. One, I’m not a power gamer! I don’t care if these characters aren’t “optimized”. My interest is in making them feel real. Like…

Welcome to my latest pages. Visitors may recognize me from PlaneDave.net or ChuckThisBlog; more pertinent to this site I’ve been a recurring commenter at the Beamdog forums and Reddit’s Baldur’s Gate page. This will be a more occasional and casual type project than the other blogs have been. But as…

Continue reading →: Baldur’s Gate
For a few reasons, this has to be the first game I discuss here. For starters, its been my favorite CRPG for 25 years(ish). Second, its the long character write ups I started doing for my characters in that game that really led to this whole web site. Well, that…

Continue reading →: Baldur’s Gate: Siege of Dragonspear
Technically not its own game, Siege of Dragonspear (SoD) is an expansion or DLC for BG1. Just to confuse matters, it was the last professionally developed expansion for the whole saga and fits in between BG1 and BG2 when played in order. It manages to be plenty controversial too, and…

I probably should have just called this “Baldur’s Gate 2”. But I wanted to emphasize that I consider this all one game. An epic no doubt. This is clearly a continuation of the same game and story from BG1. But this 2000 release has several new features. It added a…
I like those kobolds! And the one old-school pig-nosed orc. The lizardmen, the trolls … they all have a nice…
Heh. Hence the birth of Garin Trapspringer. Who probably went through every dnd crpg ever released.
No thief is needed in PoR. Everything you can’t pick can be smashed open. That will change a little in…
Is the lack of a Thief of any kind going to be a problem? I know I always had one,…
