For my next Bhaalspawn run, I am once again creating two characters. Very uncommon for me, a male/female pair that are not and will not be an actual couple. Let’s meet the team! Goliath is the ward of Gorion. He’s one of the few Halflings living in Candlekeep. He grew…

For my latest run through of Icewind Dale I decided to build a team of all illegal characters, to one degree or another, inspired by many years of PnP gaming. To be clear, this is not at all about power. I was inspired by a question on Reddit about “if…

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…

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…

Continue reading →: Baldur’s Gate: Shadows of Amn and Throne of Bhaal
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…
It’s always fun to play with the different colors in the Underdark. And, of course, the ever-popular “what would the…
Yeah. I’m very careful with commenting in public forums about my site nowadays. There’s a lot of folks very worked…
Yeah I not only redid the description (as best as I could) for GPT Image, I switched from some variation…
Very interesting comparison. Even when GPT is re-rendering DALL-E images it seems to make them much “crisper” – in a…
