I am Wiccan. I know the "Evil Witches Coven" meme is a result of marketing and sensationalism, not reality. For my thirteenth playthrough, I chose to lean into superstition and stereotype. Please bear that in mind as the narrative capers and prances in its description of Sandalwood's actions. Another note: While I avoid overt spoilers, these posts…
As a coda to my series of posts on die rolls in Baldur's Gate 3, I present to you a die roll that might be even harder to get than a 67: No analysis this time. If you want to know how I got that, you'll have to figure it out for yourself.
If you've been reading the posts in my Baldur's Gate 3 series, you may have noticed that I'm no longer doing my didactic "D&D lessons" as much as I used to. That's mostly because, from what little feedback I get, they're just not interesting. I've shifted these posts to be mostly photo albums of my adventures in…

I finally got you to read one of my BG3 posts, didn't I? Don't worry. This isn't "bait'n'switch." The images are there. You can start frantically scrolling down the page to find them, if you want. It's not as if I can stop you. However, maybe there's something worth reading before you get there. Take it slow.…
If you're not familiar with the concept of mods, I have a detailed explanation I wrote for playthrough 11. This post discusses the mods I used in playthrough 12 that had the most effect on my gameplay. The key mods I activated for playthrough 12 were: Adjustable Party Limit, which allows an adventuring party to have up…
In my previous BG3 post, we explored the trysts of Amaranth, the protagonist of my 12th playthrough Baldur's Gate 3. The last post focused on lust and romance. Now we conclude with Amaranth's relationships as she came to the end of her adventures. Hugs Since I entitled this post "Hugs and Kisses," let's see some hugs. Kissing…
In my previous post on playthrough 12, I described how Amaranth navigated the romantic triangle between her, Lae'zel, and Shadowheart. Finally, she chose Shadowheart. But Amaranth's amorous adventures were not yet over. Minthara came to Amaranth and asked to share thoughts. She liked what she saw. Amaranth pointed out that she's in a relationship with someone else.…
Let's start with a few reminders about my twelfth playthrough of Baldur's Gate 3: The main protagonist of playthrough 12 is Amaranth. She's a Lolth-sworn Drow Mystic of the Order of the Ascetic, though that won't have much relevance in this blog post. The primary relationship goal of this playthrough was to fully engage with Shadowheart. I…
Get ready for another multi-part Baldur's Gate 3 saga, on my 12th playthrough of the game. Once again, I saw scenes and places I'd not seen before. Near the end of my write-up of my 11th playthrough of Baldur's Gate 3, I set my goals for playthrough 12: Use the Adjustable Party Limit mod to include every…
