In which we further annoy Raphael before talking to more randos around the brothel.

Sensei Starman Plays Baldur's Gate 3 - Part 117

In which we continue exploring the brothel and the Erotic Library of Eleminster. We also rob Raphael for spite's sake, and round the day off by rescuing a nymph prostitute from a mindflayer. (Man! Those things are worse than roaches in this town!)

Sensei Starman Plays Baldur's Gate 3 - Part 116

In which the hunt for a serial killer takes us to a flophouse and a brothel. Strangely enough, we go to the brothel to try and get the real authorities on the case and not for the forbidden pleasures contained within.

Sensei Starman Plays Baldur's Gate 3 - Part 115

In which we meet with Jaheria's Harper contacts and wind up walking into another ambush.

Friday, December 29, 2023

Sensei Starman Plays Baldur's Gate 3 - Part 114

In which we explore Wyrm's Crossing, indulge the most annoying wannabe adventurer in Faerun for the sake of a magic item, and accidentally bluff our way into the Gortash inauguration through the power of bardery. (That is totally a real word!)

Sensei Starman Plays Baldur's Gate 3 - Part 113

In which, after exploring a little side camp with a good view, I showcase the many ways to sneak through the gate into the slightly more upscale district called Wyrm's Crossing.

Sensei Starman Plays Baldur's Gate 3 - Part 112

Sensei Starman Plays Baldur's Gate 3 - Part 111

In which, after taking a quick look at our quest log, we step in to deal with some squatters and wind up helping them keep on squatting. This leads to an explosive investigation in the basement of their house.

Sensei Starman Surveys - What's Coming In 2024?

In which Sensei Starman shows off what is in his Steam and GoG libraries so that you - yes YOU - may help him decide what games he will make videos for in 2024.

Yes, we tried this last year, and wound up not doing any of the games that were suggested. Who knew Baldur's Gate 3 and the Sam and Max games would take so long?! But THIS time we will play some of these games that have been sitting there since a sale begging to be played!

Sensei Starman Plays Baldur's Gate 3 - Part 110

In which we return to the Circus of Last Days and test my love for Shadowheart under the watchful eye of a dryad. We also finally get to see Dribbles the Clown and get dragged into an entirely different sort of performance. This also causes us to take up the quest of figuring out what is up with all these severed clown parts. Officially.

Sensei Starman Plays Baldur's Gate 3 - Part 109

In which, after a brief side trip to the post office, we put that mad monk in the medallion to rest and uncover yet another mass grave left behind by our favorite serial killer.

Sensei Starman Plays Baldur's Gate 3 - Part 107

In which we uncover a system of catacombs under Baldur's Gate and a number of murderous dopplegangers. This leads to more poking our nose in where it doesn't belong, casual thievery, and more dead clown parts.

Sensei Starman Plays Baldur's Gate 3 - Baldur's Gate Bloopers - Part 3

This clip, taken from my first attempt to record Episode 106, highlights the odd glitch that teleports half your party to the top of the Temple of Ilmater and enables you to solve the missing mail pigeon quest long before you learn of the missing mail pigeon quest.

Sensei Starman Plays Baldur's Gate 3 - Part 106

In which we level up the party and catch up with everyone at camp before encountering a most amusing glitch and an old friend of Gale's.

Sensei Starman Plays Baldur's Gate 3 - Part 105

In which, having stolen back our money from the Djinn and stolen the show from the rival bards, we step away from the circus for a bit and stumble across a murder mystery. We also discover that casting Speak With Dead on the victim is not standard practice in a murder investigation. (At least, not when the lead investigator is in a hurry to get to the bar.)

Friday, December 15, 2023

Sensei Starman Plays Baldur's Gate 3 - Part 104

In which my efforts to cheat a cheater get me an all-expense paid trip to the dinosaur-haunted jungles of Chult. We wind up richer for the trip, however, and are soon returned to the circus, where we get into a bard duel and converse with more of the merchants.

Sensei Starman Plays Baldur's Gate 3 - Part 103

In which, after fully investigating the bodies in the well, we explore the delights of the Circus of the Last Days. Because while the fate of the world may be in our hands, that's no reason not to get our face painted or to banter with a genie giving away junk magic items.

Thursday, December 14, 2023

Sensei Starman Plays Baldur's Gate 3 - Part 102

In which we befriend a tribe of monster hunters after crashing a funeral and uncover a murder mystery. We also refuse the companionship of a poor, lost, orphan because she is clearly part of a doppelganger plot to infiltrate our camp. Or is she?!

Sensei Starman Plays Baldur's Gate 3 - Part 101

In which we FINALLY get to Baldur's Gate. Well, it's the actually the town of Rivington outside the main gates of Baldur's Gate. But still - civilization of a sort! Albeit civilization full of refugees and jerks pissed about refugees existing. We also get the first of many encounters with Orin trolling us.

Wednesday, December 13, 2023

Sensei Starman Plays Baldur's Gate 3 - Part 100

In which we come to the rescue of our guardian on the Astral Plane and make a shocking discovery. We then have more heart-to-heart talks with our companions, and Shadowheart changes her hair. I wish I could say I planned to have all this happen for the 100th episode, but that was just dumb luck.

Sensei Starman Plays Baldur's Gate 3 - Part 99

In which we start Act III and get to know Jaheria a little better... right before a bunch of Githyanki jump through a portal and start trying to kill us.

Tuesday, December 12, 2023

Sensei Starman Plays Baldur's Gate 3 - Part 98

Sensei Starman Plays Baldur's Gate 3 - Part 97

In which, with a new magic mirror in our camp and 14,000 gold in our pockets, we level up our new party members, give Wyll a long overdue chance to vent, and discover something shocking about Shadowheart's past.

Monday, December 11, 2023

Sensei Starman Plays Baldur's Gate 3 - Part 96

In which we continue looting Moonrise Towers and talking to every last person hanging around the courtyard.

Sensei Starman Plays Baldur's Gate 3 - Part 95

Sensei Starman Plays Baldur's Gate 3 - Part 94

In which we manage to talk yet another villain into offing themselves. Pity Myrkul isn't about to let us get away THAT easy.

Sunday, December 10, 2023

Sensei Starman Plays Baldur's Gate 3 - Part 93

In which we continue exploring the Mindflayer colony trying to find Zevlor. We're not successful. But we do arrive just in time to overhear a meeting of the villains and learn just what in the Nine Hells they are planning...

Sensei Starman Plays Baldur's Gate 3 - Part 92

In which we continue exploring the Mindflayer colony. It is oddly free of Mindflayers (not that we're complaining!) yet awash with Clerics of Myrkul. Funny that... We also help Wyll indirectly with an unwanted rescue mission.

Sensei Starman Plays Baldur's Gate 3 - Part 91

In which we offer a merciful death to poor Chop and fight a bunch of zombies. Maybe those count as merciful deaths too, even if they aren't technically alive?

Friday, December 8, 2023

Sensei Starman Plays Baldur's Gate 3 - Part 90

In which we join the siege of Moonrise Towers, already in progress. Of course we still have time to loot the place a little before going into battle with Ketheric Thorm.

Sensei Starman Plays Baldur's Gate 3 - Part 89

In which, after leveling up to Level 8, Shadowheart makes a fateful choice and we rush to get the hell out of the Shadowfell before Shar gets even more pissed at us.

Thursday, December 7, 2023

Sensei Starman Plays Baldur's Gate 3 - Part 88

In which, after pondering the mystery of the Salami that is also a weapon, and showing off everyone's new color schemes, we proceed into the Gauntlet of Shar and do battle with Balthazar for the fate of the Nightsong!

Sensei Starman Plays Baldur's Gate 3 - Part 87

In which, having talked yet another boss to death, we set about looting the Tollhouse and go on to rescue Rolan from himself. (Well, and a bunch of shadows, but mostly his own self-loathing.)

Wednesday, December 6, 2023

Sensei Starman Plays Baldur's Gate 3 - Part 86

In which we return to Moonrise Towers to explore the mindflayer colony, before back-tracking to check out the Tollhouse.

Sensei Starman Plays Baldur's Gate 3 - Part 85

In which we reap the rewards of having rescued the captives of Moonrise Towers and have to let Gale down easy. Again.

Tuesday, December 5, 2023

Sensei Starman Plays Baldur's Gate 3 - Part 84

In which the jailbreak is on, following a brief divergence into a mindflayer colony that just happens to be set up under the dungeon. Somehow.

Sensei Starman Plays Baldur's Gate 3 - Part 83

In which we start to explore the dungeon of Moonrise Towers and begin the least stealthy sneaky jailbreak in history against guards who are shockingly good at spotting a lone rogue on a catwalk 30 feet above them, yet totally oblivious to the mob standing in one corner.

Monday, December 4, 2023

Sensei Starman Plays Baldur's Gate 3 - Part 82

In which we liberate the enslaved gnolls in the kitchens of Moonrise Towers and continue exploring/looting this place of evil.

Sensei Starman Plays Baldur's Gate 3 - Part 81

In which we finally enter into Moonrise Towers and save the idiot goblins yet again. We also start wandering around the place and grabbing everything we can get our greasy mitts on, because Chaotic Good-ish.

Sunday, December 3, 2023

Sensei Starman Plays Baldur's Gate 3 - Part 80

In which we explore the Waning Moon tavern and fail to bluff our way out of a fight with a mob of drunken zombies.

Sensei Starman Plays Baldur's Gate 3 - Part 79

In which, with the Spear of Night recovered, and the Three Trials complete, we abandon the Gauntlet of Shar to continue exploring the Shadowlands. Yay more zombie fights!

Saturday, December 2, 2023

Sensei Starman Plays Baldur's Gate 3 - Part 78

In which we explore the Silent Library of the Gauntlet of Shar and make a lot of noise fighting the guardians.

Sensei Starman Plays Baldur's Gate 3 - Part 77

In which we see the softer side of Withers, and start getting Shadowheart through the Three Trials! That's the Three Trials to be a Dark Justiciar, incidentally. Not the Three Trials to be a pirate. Different game.

Friday, December 1, 2023

Sensei Starman Plays Baldur's Gate 3 - Part 76

In which we wheel and deal with undead and demons, as I negotiate with the loathsome necromancer Balthazar and bargain for Wyll's freedom.

Sensei Starman Plays Baldur's Gate 3 - Part 75

In which we continue through the Gauntlet of Shar and deal with more of those damned Umbral Tremor portals. More combat! Joy!
