1) Baldur’s Gate first appeared in a Realms short story I wrote entitled “The Box That Crept On Talons” in 1968. (Yes, six years before D&D first appeared.) My father really liked that tale, and wanted to proudly hand it around… #Realmslore

I imagine @TheEdVerse would be the best person to tell you about the first time Baldur’s Gate was mentioned in publications (and maybe tell the tale of how/when he came up with it).

Oh wow! Did you ever envisioning a franchise like the video games springing up from it? Did you have any hand with the lore with the first 2 games? (Which are my favorite video games ever made btw :^) )

Replying to @DarkPygmy
When I created Baldur's Gate there were no personal computers (that the general public could buy). Not until not quite 20 years later. Video games were coin-operated arcade machines then. Yes, I created many book titles found in the game (& all the background lore). #realmslore
