MODS
HOMESICKCELESTIAL
Head Mod
Hi! I'm HomesickCelestial!
I like to draw sad, wrinkly old men and wowee is BG3 full of 'em!
My Tav is 'Wish,' a very silly genderfluid Tiefling wild-magic sorcerer, and my favourite BG3 characters are Karlach and Wyll!
AEVALLARE
Writing Mod
Hi, I'm aevallare! I've been writing since I learned how to read. When I'm not in the trenches of Ao3, you can find me no-lifing World of Warcraft or League of Legends.
I'm hard-pressed to pick a favorite Tav, but I suppose I'd pick my bard, Auri, a circus performer who loses her music when she's snatched up by the nautiloid. She is, of course, romancing my favorite BG3 character, Astarion!
MAXFROST
Finance+Production Mod
Yo, I'm Max ✌️
I love RPGs and BG3 is like dream come true. Can't wait to spend 300 hours on my first playthrough (I'm in Act 1 with 70 hours already).
My current Tav is a warlock sage drow and my current faves are Halsin and Kar'niss!
FREYJA
Shipping Mod
Heya, I'm Freyja! I've been avidly watching others' playthroughs of BG3 due to fears of it killing my laptop, which NEEDS to last me the next 4 years minimum lol. If I work up the courage to download it for myself, I plan to go crazy go stupid (and romance Astarion haha-)
ARCEE
Formatting Mod
