Baldur's Gate 3 is a game that has more than earned its reputation as one of the best modern RPGs, and it's captured the hearts and minds of gamers, writers, and other creatives all across the world.  It hit home in ways few games in recent history have been able to, with intricate narrative pathways and a solid cast to follow. 

Now just under a year after the game's full release, the modding scene is thriving. While it's still got a ways to go before reaching the amount of mods that you see with Bethesda games, mod authors have carved out spaces to collaborate with each other and share their knowledge. With all that, and official Modding Tools and support on the horizon, it seems like the right time to take the modding scene even further and start what should be the first of many Baldur's Gate 3 Modathons - organized by the Modding Community, for the Modding Community.

Throughout the entire month of July, any mod author can submit new BG3 mods to Nexus Mods, and each achievement badges and be entered into weekly raffles. All you have to do is submit a mod to Nexus, use the July Modathon 2024 tag, and add the Modathon header into your mod description! With 115 achievements to earn and weekly themed challenges to explore, we hope this will be a fun way for Mod Authors to flex their creativity and collaborate with other authors. See our Forum post for more details and a list of all available achievements, and follow along throughout the month to see a list of participating mods!

If this approach seems familiar, you may be recognizing it from the Morrowind Modathons - we're aiming to handle the Modathon in a similar if not nearly identical approach, as it's really set the standard for an exciting, successful, and fun event. 

If you'd like to participate, leave a short note in your mod description on Nexus, including "Part of the July Modathon" somewhere near the top of your description, add the Modathon header, and/or use the Modathon 2024 Tag (this one makes it harder to slip through the cracks!). Don't worry about skill level - whether you're a seasoned modder or have only just begun your journey, we'd love to see what you create!

Our Forum post has all the rules, as well as the link to the Modding Wiki for those looking to get started modding. And of course, feel free to check out the BG3 Modding Community Discord to get in touch with a growing community of Mod Authors!

Here's to many more years of Modding :)
