Hes also edited Dungeons and Dragons books for Monty Cook games and Kobold Press, and hes played more than 1000 hours of Baldurs Gate three.
So, John, welcome to the show.
Always good to be here.
I had to pass a DC 25 persuasion check to get Dave to do this episode, so I hope you all are grateful.
Okay, so, John, tell us about your expectations going into Baldur's Gate three.
Well, you know, to be honest, I didn't really have a lot of expectations because I typically avoid video games because of how obsessed with them I get.
And so, like, I knew it was out there.
