A type of advanced strategy wargame in which players must devise their own grand strategy by controlling a territory's military movements and using its resources. The genre, which includes both tabletop games and video games, differs from the similar 4X genre in imposing asymmetric starting conditions (i.e., some territories begin with a stronger military or more resources).

backgammoner

I strove to enlist the sympathies of the backgammoners and the crocheters, even the embroiderers, but in vain; I found with chagrin that I could not awaken one throb of interest in their unfeeling breasts, regarding my “geranium lady.”

Numbers are somewhat diminished at breakfast—Peter and Ellen have their own table, so do the backgammoners, Liz is attending a bar mitzvah in Jerusalem, and Dan and Davide are at a wedding in Wales, so we just have Georgie, Janet, Hanna, and Ronnie.

2012, Anthony Linick, “September, 2007”, in A Doggy Day in London Town (Life Among the Dog People of Paddington Rec; IV), Bloomington, Ind.: AuthorHouse, →ISBN, page 77:


chesser

Where are those principles of fair play that allow both sides a hearing? that give a move to each player in turn? and what neglect of a chesser's analytical powers to make up your mind and decision from the analysis of the moves only of the Attack, not regarding what the Defense can move in reply?

1877, The Chess Journal, numbers 74-94, page 232:

[…] a chesser of old, / Won a game in a shower of gold. / His move had the crowd floored, / And coins showered the board. / (They were paying off bets, I am told.)

1979, Chess Life & Review, volume 34, page 4:

Earlier this summer I played Nigel Short, the world number three, at what chessers call a charity ‘simul’, or simultaneous display.

buah catur

ms-noun

buah catur (Jawi spelling بواه چاتور, plural buah-buah catur, informal 1st possessive buah caturku, 2nd possessive buah caturmu, 3rd possessive buah caturnya)

بواه چاتور (Jawi)
buah-buah catur (plural)
buah catur ku (first-person informal possessive)
buah catur mu (possessive second-person)
buah catur nya (possessive third-person)

Compound of buah (“piece”) + catur (“chess”).


Shart

From a contraction of Shadowheart, itself a compound of shadow + heart, likely chosen as a jocular homonym of shart (“wet fart”).

They [BG3's female companions] aren't particularly evil, if you sided with the Goblins you can clearly tell that Shart isn't even evil, just very pragmatic about your Tadpole problem.

I felt like Lae and Shart will have potential redemption arcs and will be trying for those.

This build works equally well whatever you do with Shart, but obviously the whole stalking gloom thing is a better thematic fit for a Shar loyalist.

(Baldur's Gate fandom slang, humorous or derogatory) The fictional character Shadowheart from the video game Baldur's Gate 3.


Shadowbae

Shadowbae has been my favourite from the beginning. She's always had a pretty decent fanbase.

2022 June 29, WhiteSilverDragoon, Reddit:

I am in a relationship with Shadowbae but Karlach is the true best girl and Shadowbae and I both simp for her.

I have Tav (Warlock), Astarion as ranger/rogue, Shadowbae as my healer, and Karlach as my barbarian.

(Baldur's Gate fandom slang, endearing) The fictional character Shadowheart from the video game Baldur's Gate 3.

Astarionmancer

As a professional Astarionmancer, you can get “Very High Approval” without the need to be evil.

Astarionmance

As someone who's romancing both Astarion and Gale in simultaneous separate playthroughs, I am loving the difference so much: Galemance caters to my soft Harlequin Romance side while Astarionmance is so totally my Bodice-Ripper bag, baby!

Granted, games like BG3 and other adaptations of the D&D franchise are not necessarily concerned with representing the real world as they seem to be with crafting fantasy.

2022, Earl A. Aguilera, "Theorizing Whiteness as a Proceduralized Ideology in Videogames", Journal of Games Criticism, Volume 5, Bonus Issue A, January 2022, pages 15-16

However, the company has suggested that 2023 will be the year that BG3 finally gets a full launch, with a complete story, and every promised race and class available.

2022, “The Game Awards 2022 Recap”, in The Gamer Guide, Issue 11, November-December 2022, page 26:

Larian Studios has developed BG3 as a sequel to the first two games, which were released in 1998 and 1999 respectively.

2023 November 10, Brynn Tannehill, “Baldur's Gate 3 has received widespread critical acclaim, the Blade chats with two key queer figures in the game”, in Los Angeles Blade, page 4:

(fandom slang) Initialism of Baldur's Gate 3.


Because in the end, the greatest joy of BG2 is the control you have over the protagonist.

2000 December, David Simkins, “Baldur's Gate II: Shadows of Amn”, in NEXT Generation, page 141:

After playing with them in BG1, BG2, IWD1 and now NWN, the same old spells are becoming somewhat wearisome.

2002 November, “Icewind Dale 2”, in PC Powerplay, page 67:

If you’ve played BG1 or BG2 and are looking to this as a temporary fix, you won’t find it.

2003 March, Chris Anderson, “Icewind Dale And Heart Of Winter”, in PC Zone, page 98:

Baldur's Gate II: Shadows of Amn
w:Baldur's Gate II: Shadows of Amn

(fandom slang) Initialism of Baldur's Gate II: Shadows of Amn.


Old hands will recognise these characters from BG1, so there's instant motivation there for them, while multiple-choice dialogue lets newcomers know you've got history with them.

2000 October, Peter Walker, “Role-Playing Power”, in Computer and Video Games, page 33:

Baldur's Gate

/ˌɔːθəˈt͡ʃɛs/

/ˌɔːθəʊ̯ˈt͡ʃɛs/

/ˌɔɹθəˈt͡ʃɛs/

/ˌɔɹθoʊ̯ˈt͡ʃɛs/

From ortho- + chess, probably as a clipping of orthodox chess.

Problems of this sort have been exhaustively dealt with for orthochess (see A Guide to Fairy Chess, p. 39, for tables of results); Haas here presents 59 positions showing his best results for all possible moves, type A.

1974, Phillip Cohen, “Chessworld: Magazine Review”, in The Gamesletter, volume 13, number 1/2, Don Miller, page 10:

Avalanche chess is the same as orthochess, except that every move consists of two parts: (1) a normal legal chess move; and (2) pushing an opponent's pawn one square straight toward you. That's all there is to it really.

1992 June 16, Les Roselle, “What is a Nost?”, in Chess Life, volume 47, number 6, US Chess Federation, →ISBN:

In consequence, Italian domination of Progressive Chess was for many years comparable to that of Soviet domination of orthochess in times past.

2007, D. B. Pritchard, “Games using an ordinary board and men”, in The Classified Encyclopedia of Chess Variants, second edition, John Beasley, →ISBN, page 30:

(chess variants) The conventional game and rules of chess.


CHARNAME

From CHARNAME, the placeholder used for the player-inputted name in BG1's source code, itself a compound of char (“character”) + name.

Dexterity doesn't help your CHARNAME hit anything. It only helps CHARNAME to not get hit by others.

Valygar and Haer'Dalis were the other two romances for female CHARNAME, however they were cut due to time constraints.

Y'all have some weird CHARNAMES.

(fandom slang) The player character of Baldur's Gate and Baldur's Gate II: Shadows of Amn.
