tic-tac-toe... board? nerd

[Max™]

Right? If you're gonna be a nerd you should be a nerd about fancy tools!

Spoiler: Now, when I say fancy, I mean "this should be wearing a little top hat and monocle" fancy. (click to show/hide)

Was inspired after seeing some extra fancy handles by a guy named Moses Eadon and wanted to try a slightly chunkier profile than my usual streamline motif.

Because, as always, they take something absolutely and utterly dumb and make it FUN.

Which Sabaton song is that reminding me of?

[Arx]

Any of them - they're all the same, after all.

I like Sabaton, but they, uh, don't have the most diverse sound.

Gosh, I just ate a can of delicious, hearty veggie soup with lentils and carrots and stuff, along with these cheap breadrolls that turned out to be just the perfect accompaniment. Excuse me while I lapse into a most pleasurable food coma.

So. One of the old gods of gaming is coming back. One of the ancient legends, one of the greatest even with their age, is being reborn.

Baldurs Gate Three.


That's right. THAT game is returning. I am actually crying.

But... Why? Or rather, how? The end of Throne of Bhaal was pretty final one way or the other, as far as the Bhaalspawn saga goes... So how is this Baldur's Gate? Will it actually involve the eponymous city again, unlike the second game? Is someone really going to make a 2nd Edition D&D game in today's market? How the fuck is Minsc going to be involved, and how the fuck can you call it Baldur's Gate if you don't have Minsc?


I have... Many questions. I'm not sure I want to know the answers. Baldur's Gate defined a very great deal of my childhood. And adulthood.

[Iduno]

It sounds like it's unrelated. They're using the name because they can sucker a lot of people into buying it.

Plus, I'm sure they'll shoehorn in some cameos from old characters (maybe Khalid will show up and explode as soon as a kobold looks at him).

That would... Uhm...


Well, let's just say that that would require quite the sizable shoehorn.

[Iduno]

Well, his ghost then. I'm a bit surprised it was canon that he survived until the end. With his AC, most things that hit him critted.

[Rolan7]

I know little about Baldur's Gate, but Minsc and Boo are hanging out in Neverwinter Online.
I also know almost nothing about 2nd edition (besides THAC0) but isn't resurrection/true resurrection a thing?  Though that does sound terribly anticlimactic.  Maybe deities brought certain characters back for plot reasons.

Or it's just using the name, I have no idea.

I haven't read the whole article cuz long, but I know it answers at least some questions. It will involve the city of baldur's gate, they're using elements of dnd 5e.

I managed to get up before noon for a change!
Unfortunately that was due to me not being able to sleep at all (apart from that accidental nap I had earlier on, whoops), but oh well, baby steps, right? I'll have a healthy sleep schedule before ya know it. Also, this means that, assuming I manage to gather the necessary motivation to make the short stroll one block over to the nearest bakery, I might be able to buy a loaf of cheap-but-vastly-superior-to-supermarket-quality bread. Heck yeah.   

Oh and if I remember I might call the head-shrinker's office and see about setting a new appointment and arranging to pay the fee for the one I missed. I feel like my stupid head is overdue for its regular shrinking session.
