You and your party stumble across a new episode of G4P! Go ahead and roll for initiative~

Baldur's Gate 3 is currently the hottest new RPG in the gaming world right now. Only problem is, none of us have played it yet! So on this week's episode we're joined by Steven Christie, our oomfie from down under* (*Australia, not the Underdark) to discuss the game that inspired BG3 and countless other role playing games: DUNGEONS AND DRAGONS!

D&D, the massively popular fantasy tabletop game, has become a household name in the years since its initial release in 1974, inspiring TV series like Stranger Things, multiple actual play podcasts like Critical Role and The Adventure Zone, and as of earlier this year, its own movie. We discuss our personal history with Dungeons and Dragons, its appeal to LGBTQ+ players across the globe, and how roleplaying creates a space for the queer imagination to flourish and run wild.

Oh also, all 3 of us finally finished Tears of the Kingdom! We share a few mostly spoiler-free thoughts on the end of the game up top, and also take a moment to tip our red-M hats to Mr. Charles Martinet, who announced this week that he is retiring from his role as the voice of Mario.

What Else We're Gay For this week:
-The World Is Not Ending | Sophie From Mars
-Hades
-Disco Elysium: The Final Cut
-All who can't hear must feel - by Jaboukie
