Enjoyers of high-fantasy video game Balder’s Gate (and of course its most recent vampire-boyfriend series edition, Balder’s Gate 3) can go nerd nuclear at this event, which utilizes Dungeons & Dragons style gameplay to explore the games’ fictional culture. Enjoy delicious treats typical of the realm – neogi claw, anyone? – as well as readings from the city’s literature, combat and casual fashion tips, and in-world legal discussion. These nerds promise a full “exploration of the delights and dangers that give [Balder’s Gate] its unique heartbeat.” –James Scott
