Hello, hi, how are you? Though you wouldn't know this by my videos, I am an avid fan of TTRPGs, specifically Dungeons & Dragons (until recently), and throughout my time playing Baldur's Gate 3, I was taken by all the ways it was similar and different to the Tabletop form of the game. Not like it could help it, after all. Mediums force things to be different from each other. So, in this video, I compare and contrast various Baldur's Gate 3, Tabeltop D&D, and Honor among Thieves, the film of D&D from recent, to see how the various mediums take to the task of adapting Dungeons & Dragons for a new media form. Should be very dorky!
