Baldur's Gate III: The Forgotten Path

About the adventure

Welcome to Baldur's Gate III: The Forgotten Path, a Dungeons and Dragons 5th edition game that will take you on a high action adventure through Fae'run on the path to Baulder's Gate's most recent apocalypse. In this West Marches style game, 6 players will have the chance to immerse themselves in the world of Fae'run as they parallel the events in the Baldur's Gate 3 video game by Larian Studios. The game will provide ample space for non-combat choices and character development. The overall vibe of the game will be one of high tension and action, as players navigate the dangers of the road to Baldur's Gate. From the fires of Avernus, to the defiled temple of Shar, join your favorite NPCs from the game on this epic journey, and see if you have what it takes to be the champions of Baldur's Gate! Any questions about how a West Marches game works can be directed to the GM.

Gameplay details

We will go over safety tools and consent in Session 0. I regularly check-in with my players and tailor the adventures to meet their needs and ensure everyone has an amazing experience. A typical session will be everyone joining the Discord voice channel, and then joining the Foundry VTT link a few minutes before the start to load the map and have some time for social chat. After everyone is situated and ready to go then we will jump right into the game. Exploration and Roleplay will be large portions of the game as well as Combat, but these things will be tuned to meet everyone's needs. I like to play games with a healthy mix of role-playing and strategy, keeping time for both serious, dramatic moments and silly, humorous story beats. You can expect the game world to be fully developed, everywhere you go will be saturated in narrative, animated artwork, cartography, voice mods and atmospheric music. My games are a safe space for everyone involved, which we can go over with Lines & Veils. The most important goal for me as the GM is to make sure everyone has a great time playing. In a standard 3 hour game you can expect to have a 10-minute break around mid-session, and quick bio breaks whenever needed.
