The Bard Experience in Baldur’s Gate 3
While I am definitely not an expert at Dungeons and Dragons, I’ve spent a good amount of time playing the game with different classes and in various settings.

Annapurna Interactive: The Last Summer Game Fest 2023 Showcase
June 29th marked the last showcase in partnership with Summer Game Fest: Annapurna Interactive.
