D&D Live at Gen Con: Watch an Astarion and Karlach Adventure

What happens when Tav strikes out on adventure but leaves Astarion and Karlach from Baldur's Gate 3 behind? You get a romp through the Underdark with new friends and unexpected challenges!

Dungeons & Dragons hosted a star-studded D&D Live show at Gen Con to celebrate the game's 50th anniversary. Fans gathered to a surprise cast including Dungeon Master Aabria Iyengar and players Anjali Bhimani, Brennan Lee Mulligan, Neil Newbon, and Samantha Béart. The ensuing adventure showcased the 2024 rules update and gave fans an early look at Project Sigil, an upcoming 3D sandbox from Wizards of the Coast!

How to Watch D&D Live

The D&D Live show kicks off just as our favorite vampire and Tiefling duo, Astarion and Karlach, arrive at the Chill Touch, a shady tavern hidden amongst the jagged rocks and mushrooms of the Underdark. There, they make fast friends with Miriannan (Anjali Bhimani) and Dorbin Kragstone (Brennan Lee Mulligan).

The D&D Live show premiered on the official D&D YouTube channel on August 5. You can watch the show by clicking below!
