A fanzine for original characters
Your Tav, your Dark Urge, and all other original characters based on BG3 are unique creations and full of rich lore and fascinating stories.
We want to make a space where all those stories can be collected and you can showcase everything you want the world to know about your OC.
The autumn edition of the zine is now out!

So, what is this about?
First and foremost, the Yearbook is a collection of the characters fans created inspired by Baldur's Gate 3!Each character will be assigned a few pages of space that will contain the following:
A character profile with a picture, stats, basic background information (class, favourites, romance partner, fun facts)
A page with interview-style questions about the character's lore
Two freeform pages that you can fill with pictures, art, fanfiction, letters, family trees, or even more interview questions (there will be plenty!)
FAQ
Is this a zine?
Strictly speaking yes, since the Yearbook will contain fan creations like art and fiction, but it differs in the sense that not all creations have to be made from scratch and you can submit already existing fic, art or other lore about your OC, even if it has been published elsewhere.
Will the Yearbook be digital or physical?
The Yearbook will be a digital release and it will be available to download as a free PDF-file.Due to the high number of applications, the Yearbook will be released as two editions, one in late September, the other in late November.
Is this a project for charity?
This project is completely free and no donation to a charity is required to download the file when it's finished. We will however suggest some charities down the line and would be happy if you decide to donate if you can!
What kind of content can I submit?
Every creation that features your OC is welcome. That includes but is not limited to: fanfiction, fanart, family trees, letters, virtual photography, renderings, fun facts, or lists of favourites.The first hard rule is that every work that has not been created by yourself will only be published with written consent of the original creator. The second hard rule is that AI-created content is strictly forbidden. For more detailed information, please refer to our Rules for Application
Will the Yearbook be SFW or NSFW?
We are currently discussing the details, but there will definitely be a NSFW section.Due to the nature of the game's story and because we don't want to limit character lore, every participant in the project will have to be 18 or older.
Are all characters and romantic pairings welcome?
All characters created based on BG3 are welcome, no matter their race, class, looks, sexuality, ability level, whether they are modded or vanilla, whether their lore grew and expanded beyond the game, and no matter how they identify or whom their romantic partner/s is or are.
When will it be published?
Due to the high number of applications, the Yearbook will be released as two editions to include as many characters as possible. The first edition will be published in late September, the other in late November of 2025.
Anything else interested parties need to know?
We would be particularly happy to showcase the talents of those in our fandom that are regrettably often overlooked, so we would be delighted to receive applications from creators from the LGBTQIA+ community, creators with disabilities or POC creators.
