I appreciate it! Thankfully, I am done grading, and it's onto emails for the rest of the day.

My students are supposed to be using APA which uses the same 1/2 inch indent. It's just a wall of unreadable block text without some kind of spacing, and I'm losing my mind.

I seriously need to know who stopped teaching students to indent their fucking paragraphs. I. NEED. TO. KNOW.

There's a part of me that wants to give an F to any student who misspells my name until they correct it. It's just f'ing courtesy.

I recommend HettiKovacs! She's done a lot of BG3 and ESO for me, and I know she's done DnD and WoW stuff too.

Oh, I got the cozy dragon-y friend! Very sweet!

Good catch about the neck wounds! I didn't even see that!

Overall, the supplement was very solid. There's nothing that would interfere with whichever character arc Astarion goes down in BG3, which is a relief for a lot of people.
The artwork is very nice, and the little snippets from Astarion are in-character. Kudos to the team!

Most of the scenarios are either "Do something for NPC Astarion" or "Prevent NPC Astarion from getting murdered horribly."
At least we get some fun pirate names!
In his little writing segments, Astarion is giving himself every superlative/honorific under the sun, & I'm living for it.

The Rat's Run is the in-depth scenario location for the supplement. There are several plots that one can use to get a game going that involve Astarion. Apparently, Violet tried to have Astarion killed by vampire hunters after she was turned. Oh my.

Apparently, Cazador had the servants leave random curtains open in the palace to burn Astarion and the other spawn when they weren't expecting it... I'm not surprised, but that's just wretchedly petty.
Cazador as a DnD monster is considered a "Vampire Infernalist."

The whole second chapter is about the Szarr "family" of vampires.
We get confirmation about the order the Spawn siblings were sired: Antwun (Cazador's chamberlain who wasn't going to be sacraficed), Aurelia, Astarion, Pale Petras, Violet, (either Yousen or Dalyria), and lastly Leon.

There are some changes to Dhampirs (in comparison to what is listed in Van Richten's) -- "Deathless Nature" is gone; "Drain" and "Strengthen" are in. There is no mentioned of the optional "Ancestral Legacy" perk.
The feats and boons are quite interesting!

Okay, so we get a canon year of birth and death for Astarion, which is nothing shocking and could have been deducted from in-game sources, but it's nice to see it on paper.
If you count his mortal years, Astarion is 231 during the events of BG3.
