The 2024 update to the classic tabletop role-playing game, “Dungeons & Dragons,” offers an exclusive bonus for enthusiasts of “Baldur’s Gate 3.” This bonus features content centered around Astarion. The latest edition of D&D has introduced numerous modifications to the fundamental rulebook, aiming to enhance player experience and invigorate gameplay.
The new core rulebooks for D&D present a plethora of fresh subclasses for popular classes such as Bard and Barbarian, along with innovative mechanics, creatures, and other elements. Now, fans of “Baldur’s Gate” are in for a special surprise with the upcoming books.
In simpler terms, the highly successful role-playing game developed by Larian Studios, modeled after Dungeons & Dragons, gained immense popularity post its release in 2023, following the much-anticipated launch of Baldur’s Gate 3. This game captured numerous accolades at annual awards shows due to its captivating storyline and gameplay, ultimately winning Game of the Year at the 2023 Game Awards. Larian Studios continued to enhance the game with frequent free updates that introduced new character classes and even added an additional chapter to Baldur’s Gate 3’s narrative. Now, fans of Baldur’s Gate 3 are being treated to fresh content for their tabletop Dungeons & Dragons experience.
According to PCGamer, fans of Dungeons and Dragons who purchase the bundle containing the new “Forgotten Realms” books will receive a special DLC themed around the character Astarion. This digital book, titled “Astarion’s Book of Hungers,” offers a playable dhampir character for D&D in 2024, along with three new vampire backgrounds and eighteen new feats. The package also includes a short adventure module that allows Dungeons and Dragons players to join forces with Astarion on a unique quest as part of the new book. Additionally, “Astarion’s Book of Hungers” contains a map of a tavern frequented by Astarion before the events of Baldur’s Gate 3.
New Forgotten Realms D&D Books Feature Astarion DLC
The new Astarion-inspired content isn’t the first instance of Dungeons & Dragons exploring crossovers with other games. In fact, they’ve previously launched several lines of miniature figures inspired by Baldur’s Gate 3, such as Shadowheart, Astarion, and Minthara, which fans have affectionately dubbed “minis”. There are also speculations that some of the rule adjustments in Dungeons & Dragons’ upcoming 2024 revision may be influenced by Baldur’s Gate 3, with healing potions now only requiring a Bonus Action and the introduction of Weapon Masteries being notable examples.
The upcoming content for Baldur’s Gate 3, based on Dungeons and Dragons, is expected to appease fans yearning for more updates from Larian Studios. The developer has announced that they plan to venture beyond Baldur’s Gate once Baldur’s Gate 3 is successfully completed, hinting at a new original project from Larian Studios. While there were whispers about Larian returning to Divinity with Divinity: Original Sin 3, the studio has not yet officially confirmed a sequel to the RPG series. Regardless of Larian’s next move, fans of Baldur’s Gate 3 are sure to keep a close eye on their future projects.
