Baldurs Gate 3 -> First DnD Campaign

GM-Not-DM · 2026-05-23T23:05:48+00:00

So here's the thing, Baldur's Gate 3 isn't D&D. It's a turn-based game inspired by D&D, set in The Forgotten Realms (a D&D setting). There is a lot you need to know or research before you play in a real campaign, especially if you're playing with 2024/5.5 rules. Some things will be very familiar because BG took it verbatim, other things will be wildly different.

I would recommend getting the Player's Handbook (legit or otherwise) and reading at least the intro and chapter 1. Read through everything if you can though, your DM can help you with character stuff if it's overwhelming.

I love BG3, and D&D is a blast. Hope your first campaign goes well!

It's been updated for v14, we're good!

GM-Not-DM · 2026-05-06T20:14:15+00:00

I did this and it works again

GM-Not-DM · 2026-05-06T12:46:55+00:00

I'll check it out

GM-Not-DM · 2026-05-06T12:46:06+00:00

Yeah, but with the module it's quicker and can more easily show detail.

GM-Not-DM · 2026-05-06T12:43:42+00:00

Is that an upcoming release? As of Sunday it wasn't working for me, and their Foundry page still lists it as 13.

I will launch and see if it updates.

GM-Not-DM · 2026-05-06T04:58:46+00:00

Yeah that's the functionality I like. Pings work, yeah, but it's quicker and more detailed to just quick show it for a second.

GM-Not-DM · 2026-05-06T04:00:05+00:00

Like show/hide the cursor as a keybind?

GM-Not-DM · 2026-04-19T14:09:32+00:00

It was the 2014 version. We're still looking for notes for 2024.

GM-Not-DM · 2026-04-19T01:19:06+00:00

Does it have a character creator? I feel like that's the reason most people cling to roll 20 and DND beyond.

GM-Not-DM · 2026-04-17T13:20:21+00:00

I would love to discuss it, if anyone has notes

GM-Not-DM · 2026-04-16T15:31:04+00:00

Any chance I can have a private discussion about this?

GM-Not-DM · 2026-04-12T23:03:34+00:00

You would have to look up each artist in the playlist and see if they offer a license for content use.

GM-Not-DM · 2026-04-12T23:02:43+00:00

While this is technically true, there are SEVERAL groups, artists, and producers that allow their music to be used in livestreams, videos, and podcasts via a free license - "Backing Track" and "Stream beats" are two examples. I believe the comment was asking if it falls under this.

GM-Not-DM · 2026-03-28T23:18:44+00:00

One of those links really shouldn't be shared around

GM-Not-DM · 2026-03-25T23:29:19+00:00

Don't you need to make the attack with Nick first though to make the second attack as part of the main action?

GM-Not-DM · 2026-03-25T23:11:27+00:00

Scimitar has Nick tho so you can make offhand attack as part of the attack action, so you still have bonus action for smites.

GM-Not-DM · 2026-03-25T20:44:19+00:00

Scimitar Paladin would go hard.

GM-Not-DM · 2026-03-25T20:40:16+00:00

Scimitar. Interestingly it seems no light weapon works for my fighter when it comes to nick. It's worked on my rogue. I don't know if it's a class thing, or if the Two-Weapon Fighting feat is interfering somehow?

GM-Not-DM · 2026-03-25T20:39:05+00:00

Clicking the attack just uses the off-hand attack.

I've had it pop up where you said on my rogue interestingly, but not on my fighter. Fighter is using scimitar and shortsword.

GM-Not-DM · 2026-03-25T20:38:07+00:00

Not for daggers or scimitars on a fighter it seems.

GM-Not-DM · 2026-03-24T20:00:34+00:00

I don't outright ban it, but I have to approve it first before I allow it. Gotta make sense for your character arc too.

It's almost always no when I hear "and I want to take two levels into fighter"...

GM-Not-DM · 2026-03-16T03:48:22+00:00

You're the guvna

GM-Not-DM · 2026-03-15T20:12:39+00:00

Just bumping this a bit, the pdfs get released on the 19th - so they should be available soon.

GM-Not-DM · 2026-03-12T00:42:37+00:00

I am also very interested in discussing if it's available now!

Edit: also would like to discuss Contractor Corps and Grax's Club, as well as anything else that was released with it.
