BG3 Yearbook - A Zine for Original Characters @bg3yearbook.bsky.social · 10h

Hello, everyone!

It's been quiet around here, but only because we have been hard at work!

As it turned out, this experimental zine project took longer to fine-tune than we anticipated, and we decided to postpone a little.

The new publication date is soon though - October 19th - so stay tuned! 💗

Raphael from Baldur's Gate 3 looks annoyed and says: "This is ridiculous. Didn't you say "September"?!"

The text below his speech bubble says:

BG3 Yearbook - Class of Highharvest 2025 - out on October 19th!!

Subsequently, the Class of Midwinter edition of the Yearbook will be out a little later as well: the publication date for that edition will be December 11th! ❄️

We say thank you to the Class of Highharvest! 🍂
Their creations will fill the autumn edition of our Yearbook, which is currently in its layout phase.

We welcome the Class of Midwinter, who started their creation phase today and whose OCs will be showcased in our winter edition! ❄️

All good things come in threes, so we're pleased to present the third and final of our backstage mods, @nanor0x.bsky.social! We're very happy she's part of the team!

A mod spotlight for the BG3 Yearbook zine, showcasing backstage mod Nano. She as this to say about herself:

Mostly a reader and enjoyer of various fanfiction and fanart! I've been a fan of BG3 since it officially released and love seeing other people's OCs and Durges being drawn and written about.

BG3 Yearbook - A Zine for Original Characters @bg3yearbook.bsky.social · Jul 29

We're very happy to count Emily among our backstage mods!

Making sure that every contributor finds their way around with the numerous options and forms they may use to present their OC's lore, Emily and the backstage team handle communications and administration!

I'm mainly a cat botherer and consumer of BG3 content. It is a joy to see all of these characters come to life. If pop culture created a person I'd be like 35% as cool a that person. Probably.

To help things run smoothly, we have a handful of backstage mods who help wherever they can.

One of them is @sebastianslyric170.bsky.social who in addition stepped up as a writing mod, so we're very thankful to her for literally working for two! ✨

I found my love of writing again through the BG3 fandom and have been writing non-stop for the last year. I love music, books, movies, photography, and of course, our beloved game.

Our very own head mod @tavyliasin.bsky.social has set up a lovely challenge for all of us who love OCs - our own, and those of our fellow BG3 enjoyers! 👇👀

Tavylia Sin (Lia the Sinner) @tavyliasin.bsky.social · Jul 27

WHY HELLO MY GOOD FRIENDS!

Do you love your Tav/Durge/OC?
Do you love seeing other peoples' Tavs/Durges/OCs?
Are you addicted to reading all the #TavQOTD posts on here?

I have a new open challenge for you all!

The idea is to create art/fic for each others OCs!

To help present the OC's stories in their own voice, @writerstears.bsky.social is on the case as one of our writing mods!

We're very happy to have him on board! ✨

A mod spotlight for the BG3 Yearbook zine, presenting writing mod Feliks. He has this to say about himself:

I'm a lazy writer who studies literature and masters the knowledge I've got from class by reading BG3 fanfics (or making my own!). My Durge, Séraphine, is an unreliable narrator and I don't trust him either, even though I made him. I am a chronic yapper and I love hearing about everyone else's characters!

Virtual Photographer who's happily stuck in BG3. I like to explore emotions, character psyche and storytelling through my photos. BG3, Astarion and my tav Innirith reignited my passion for creative endavours and I'll always be grateful for that.

The pen is mightier than the sword, or so we heard... please meet the first of our fantastic writing mods in today's Mod Spotlight - Baker!

A mod spotlight for the BG3 Yearbook mod, showcasing writing mod Baker. The mod's short self-description is:

"I found my love of writing once again when I began playing BG3. Ever since then, I've been writing and writing, sometimes until the early morning. It's been such a joy to be a part of the fandom and make new friends along the way. Unfortunately, my OCs have suffered at my hands and there's no end in sight for those precious babies."

Another day, another Mod Spotlight!

Meet Amy, the second member of Team Layout, taking great care that our beloved characters are presented in the best possible light: @musickeeper.bsky.social
