Dunno if it's on sale, but Solasta Crown of the Magister is a great dnd game made by a small studio. It's much shorter, but imo the general mechanics are really good and the use of height in combat is better than in bg3.

Also not to mention workshop support! There're a few campaigns that come with the game already, but people can make their own and add them through the steam workshop

It is! 7€ on steam now. I have never heard of this one but it looks awesome. Into the cart it goes. Thanks for the rec!

Edit: 9€ not 7

That looks okay. What's with all the DLC?

As they are a small studio, they did not have the money to buy all dnd licensed content upfront (Wizard if the Coast makes it quite expensive). When the game was a success, they added dlcs for additional races/classes they could now afford.
Lost Valley and Palace of Ice add new campaigns (they are ok but I enjoyed the base campaign more).

If having all the races and classes from official dnd content matters to you, I would recommend the Unfinished Business mod (you can find it on nexusmods). Personnally I played the first campaign with the limited options from the base game and I still had a real blast :)

Thanks, I don't really have any attachment to the DnD brand so doesn't bother me. Will go for the base game.

I hope you'll have fun :)
