And yet another game

Baldur's Gate 3 was on sale on Steam, so I thought I'd pick it up. (Still expensive, and I picked up a DLC as well.) I created a half-elf bard, figuring she'd be the face of the party. Took me a bit to remember that my character was a bard and therefore maybe shouldn't be on the front lines. Oops.

(I'm not as familiar with the D&D5e ruleset, but I am with 3rd edition D&D, and I am definitely familiar with Pathfinder 1e and 2e, which descend from 3rd edition D&D just as D&D5e has. Therefore the whole thing is familiar and yet not.)

Apart from nearly killing my character by charging into battles, I've only borked one roll (it's like... Tav, honey, how do you manage to fail a DC 10 roll with +3 on the dice?). Also set my character on fire a few times. I figure I'll get the hang of things. I've set the game on the easiest difficulty possible because I want to get the whole storyline (I'm going into it pretty blind, TBH, apart from some absorbed knowledge about the NPC companions).

I signed up for [community profile] fandomgiftbasket again this year, picking the minimum 3 fandoms - Kpop Demon Hunters because it's waaaay too big for Yuletide and I'm not a huge participant in exchanges, Stardew Valley (less popular than KPop Demon Hunters, but still Too Big For Yuletide), and Fantasy Life/Fantasy Life i. I'm hoping to do quite a bit of writing next month for it and other stuff as well. I believe signups are open until September 5th at 11:59 UTC, reveals assuming everybody has their 3 gifts is October 12.

My player character with three important characters from the original Fantasy Life in Fantasy Life i: Olivia, the governor of Port Puerto (left), Laura, the princess of Castele (middle), and Damien/Daemon, the sultan of Al Maagik (left).

(I should mention for those not familiar with either game that my PC is the one wearing the blue headdress! The redhead in the background is Laura.)
