How many people do you know who got interested in the game because of BG3? I imagine I’m not the only one.
I’ve always had a passing interest in it but my only friend who plays lives 8 hours away. I did a one shot campaign while visiting him years ago but I was totally overwhelmed. Now that I’ve played BG3 I’m thinking about finding a local game shop to meet some players…
I’m actually the opposite.
Wanted to play DnD for years but never really had the opportunity as I didn’t have enough friends who also wanted to play so we could get a campaign going.
We’ve got a group together last year and now manage to play about once per month.
I think I’d have still been interested in BG3 even if I didn’t have a DnD group, but I’m definitely more interested in BG3 now than I would have been because of my DnD group.
It’s a really cool game! After I learn enough about dnd by playing it I’m going to try to talk my friends into getting together to try it out.
The one friend I mentioned sent me some PDFs of short campaigns “that anyone can DM”
I’m in the same boat. A bunch of friends are interested, too but none of us trust themselves to be DM or has the necessary time to prep campaigns. Hence BG3 is our only option.
