Would you become a monster if it would save the world?That is the central conflict of Baldur's Gate 3, a three-act epic fantasy that continues the story of the critically acclaimed series, bringing a new threat to the city of Baldur's Gate in the form of an illithid invasion. We, the player character, find ourselves infected with an illithid parasite and must unravel the source of the parasite's uniqueness, and its connection to the rising Cult of the Absolute before we, too, are transformed.While an epic fantasy in scope, our parasitic infection brings us into intimate proximity with the monstrous in a relationship best described as Gothic. But what exactly is the monstrous in a setting full of fantastical creatures and horrors that reach out to us all the way from the Far Realm? And why is it so queer? To answer this, I think we need to frame our understanding of the monstrous through one of the most enduring monsters in literature and media: that of Frankenstein's Creation. Scientific experimentation, body horror, paranoia, and the Gothic all merge in Shelley's enigmatic monster. Unraveling the seams of this Creation, both its horror and humanity, will serve as the foundation to help us piece together the nature of monstrosity in Baldur's Gate 3.So, what is a monster? more

They say that when your world turns upside down, you have to find a constant to keep you moving in a positive direction. For me, that constant has been Dungeons & Dragons. After facing the hardest year of my life—losing my home, my marriage, and my career—I found that the only place I didn't feel like I was in a dark spot was at the gaming table.This podcast is the audio home of my weekly livestreams, featuring the 'Steal to Save' campaign. Set in the gritty streets of Baldur's Gate just before the events of Baldur's Gate 3, we follow a band of unlikely heroes (and my own DMPC, Thistle Thorogood) as they navigate a city gripped by a mysterious plague and the rising 'Baldur's Gate for Baldurians' political agenda.As a student of anthropology and a political commentator, I bring those perspectives to the DM screen, exploring how we build communities and process our own pain through the characters we play. Whether you're a long-time player or someone looking for a reason to get to your first table, I hope these stories enrich your life the way they've enriched mine.Join the Community:Watch Live on YouTube: Join the chaos every Sunday at 8 p.m. Eastern.Full Livestream Playlist: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLySNnM-wWrnJO2yFlRd5p9rhhXa7OWRKbSupport My Work via PayPal: https://paypal.me/MInetforce (Your donations directly support my ability to keep creating). more
