Hello everyone!!
This is a big one! We are finally talking about Baldur's Gate 3!
In our longest Left Page and Here Be Media episode to date we dive into many of the complexities involving Dungeons & Dragons, tabletop RPGs, the fantasy problems of "races" and this incredibly interesting and fun game of wish-fulfillment, adventure, and more!
We still have many critiques though, and go into ways this is a remarkable game, but could have been even more engaging and entertaining too.
We are also, of course, joined by Holly! Making this equal parts a serious, critical, and very very fun episode! Enjoy!!
As part of our question of "races" in D&D, check out the following video too:
Bioessentialism in Gaming, https://youtu.be/u2PhrI4yZXY
And please support our Patreon if you can and are interested in early episodes and two current Here Be Extras!

Also! If you're not there already, feel free to join our Discord, as we have been more talkative than usual, and plan to do so more and more!

Outro Music: Leve Palestina, Spartacus
