Curious about Hollywood's own perspectives on the science that gets represented in film/tv? Not afraid to read a PhD thesis (which features tons of great quotes, XKCD comics, & Santa Claus)? You can do it, here: hdl.handle.net/10523/14213

(For the record, the two save-scumming incidents were convincing Kahga not to die by my hand [because she already did in run #1] and to learn more about Lae'zel's fancy new sword two whole acts later...)

(I also didn't have to use any Inspiration to re-roll; to say I was not expecting that result would be an understatement)

I have save-scummed exactly 2 rolls during this run. This was not one of them:

Update: Brand the Weak was not, in fact, necessary.

Correction: gerringothe's *morningstar*. Also I went back to top him up. Assuming Blood Money's piercing damage counts as magical we're good to go. Or I can just hit him with Brand the Weak first to be safe.

Playing the long game by reverse pickpocketing 43,800 gold into Raphael's pocket during our sharess's caress encounter (if I remember I'll come back to add another 6150). Because this time I remembered not to sell Gerringothe's mace.

Note to self: if you kill Orin by telekinesis-ing her off the side of the arena, you only get one of her swords.

I also save scummed to steal Voss's sword, so the first half of today's session has been at least *slightly* productive.

Hey ladies I appreciate all the recent support and follows for what I can only assume are my S-tier BG3 campaign updates, but I'm gonna have to start blocking you on account of you being even more fictional than my tadpoled companions.

Well my Tav died, but I did get the "defeat the giant lava robot without using the giant forge hammer" achievement. So I call that a solid win.

My favorite thing about this episode is Círdan's hair.

Taking a break from my irregularly scheduled BG3 posts to ask why Adar thought simply stabbing a Maia enough times would kill them. (Did he not know Sauron was basically Tolkien's version of an angel, or am I overestimating how powerful said beings are?)

*(Wyll buys/sells all my stuff, though. I'm not a complete idiot.) **(I had inspiration left but I decided to roll with it, and now I can pretend Astarion is only pretending he doesn't feel bad about it)

Yes, the Tav for my 2nd campaign has 8 CHA and I still let her do all the talking.* Yes, I've gotten into a few fights I'd rather not have in the moment. But despite many KOs, she's the only one who's died so far...and that was at camp.**

If you're happy [because you built a gaming pc for your birthday just to play Baldur's Gate 3 on 4k ultra settings] and you know it, clap your hands. 👏👏
