God’s favorite princess gets to go on another adventure.

Baldur’s Gate 3 is a popular game for many reasons, and one of the most notable is its cast. From the vampire heartthrob Astarion to the kind-hearted Karlach, many are smitten with the lovable characters. Well, fans are getting more of these characters, albeit in a different but still familiar manner from Baldur’s Gate 3: Dungeons & Dragons.

Larian Studios announced on X (Twitter) that Baldur’s Gate 3‘s core cast are reprising their roles for a Dungeons & Dragons adventure. D&D group High Rollers is hosting the one-shot, and it’s airing on September 22 on the group’s Twitch channel. Its advertised start time is 7 PM BST, meaning it will begin at 11 AM PST and 2 PM EST for American fans.

A clip paired with the announcement showcases the voice actors introducing themselves and their characters. It’s admittedly surreal hearing Neil Newborn slip so naturally into his Astarion voice and even copying his rather sassy mannerisms.

Despite only lasting a couple of minutes, the clip makes the stream seem like a fun time. It’s nice seeing the cast reunite, even if it’s so soon after Baldur’s Gate 3‘s launch. Everyone bounces off each other well in the game, so seeing the dynamic play out live is a treat for fans.

Another thing clarified about this stream is that those who miss it can watch the Baldur’s Gate 3 D&D session recorded as a VOD. I typically don’t watch many livestreams, so having an easily accessible recording is a blessing. Even if I miss the live show, I need to see how much Jennifer English plays into a Shadowheart who introduces herself as “god’s favorite princess,” because that’s amazing.
