Summary
Chase is joined by writer and television critic Joshua Rivera to discuss what we should expect from HBO's upcoming Baldur's Gate 3 television series. The pair discuss showrunner Craig Mazin's history with both Dungeons & Dragons and adaptation, how the series may diverge from The Last of Us, and what fandom means for this property to take another stab at going transmedia. Later, Chase runs down some of the bigger news pieces and essays on Rascal along with what he's been playing recently. He also gives a little preview of our State of the Rascal article coming towards the end of the month.
