I find myself looking for different builds specifically for multiclassing ideas and end up on the other site. Also would be cool to have a pinned link to good reference sites that helps with builds, showing potential options for each levels of a class with skills/spells available, maybe a site with all that plus a character builder. I am a beginner-amateur DnD player at best but I love the idea of using creative builds to extend the diversity of party member applications.

We do have some people posting amazingly detailed builds here. And I want to link to bg3.wiki for more build guides.
Maybe a pinned post for builds? Making it easier to find.
As for reference websites, I find myself using this one quite frequently https://game8.co/games/Baldurs-Gate-III It is not complete, but the owner appears to be updating it regularly.
If/when Lemmy gets flairs going, that could be helpful in the organization of such categories.
In any case, thanks for keeping up with community interests and continued engagement.
Literally the first time I've seen this site. Thanks!
I'm going to disagree with some of the folks who are saying that we need pinned threads for specific things like gameplay questions. At least for now that is. Currently there's only about a post every few hours. I think that at this stage quarantining some types of discussions will just make things seem more dead.
Yeah, I'm not exactly sure how to handle this yet. I think some organization or flair could help, but not sure what other features Lemmy has yet that could work here.
A pinned help thread for people who have questions about mechanics, items, and general stuff. Funny memes and people's characters. I'd like to see what fun play throughs people have come up with. This game is so fun lol.
We're getting some great memes, I need to figure out how we can flag/label memes as a filterable/sortable thing.
Probably not relevant to the console players, but mods and patches always interest me.
I skipped the past two hotfixes thinking someone else would post them, nobody did (afaik). I've tried to install a few mods and completely failed, so yeah, mods!
I really only come to game specific communities for two things:
- Discussion specific to the game (mechanics, lore, bitching and moaning, patch notes, etc)
- Memes specific to the game
I always hated when they would block memes from being posted, but also understand when they literally flood the entire thing with low-effort shitposts. A good balance of talk and shitposts is preferable.
Thanks for this. I hope things look OK so far. (And minimal bitching!)
Hehe bitching can be good when it's constructive. I've done my share before the patches; I was getting so many little annoyances. But it's all mostly ironed out now already, which I have to give a high five to Larian for.
I'm interested in about everything but one thing that I'm seriously struggling with is recognizing reputable sources (besides the community wiki ofc).
I'm very new to D&D and cRPGs and I need resources to explain mechanics, how to build chars and find the right equipment in a way that doesn't assume I already know everything, but with BG3 having so much success, everyone and their dogs are churning out videos and websites every day, most of it is trash for sure (like with every successful game) but I don't have enough knowledge to tell which ones.
I'd very much appreciate something like a curated list of sources or discussions about them.
p.s. this community is amazing, much higher quality than reddit, good job with it!
AI-powered NPC dialogue a la Skyrim mod 🤩🔥🤌🏼
I have no doubt we will see this in the next 6 months. I haven't even made it to the city yet, but I can see this being amazing there.
Art and memes
Amazing art from the community. They love the characters they are drawing. It makes me so happy!
I like the art, the memes, the discussions! The only thing I would maybe change is bug reports and basic questions, but they might not yet have the momentum to make a megathread anything but empty.
Yeah, I do see the need for basic (No Stupid Questions) and DAE (Does Anyone Else) pins, but trying to not oversaturate the pinned posts at this point. Some sort of categories might help...
It's a tough line to tread with the community being too small. I dislike half the posts being boring, but that doesn't mean they should languish in purgatory like most reddit megathreads did. Maybe a smaller community will engender more care towards megathreads?
These are questions for Wizards and Paladins, and sadly my dump stats are Wis, Int, and Cha, so take me with a grain of salt.
Who even are you? I'm confused; What?
Edit: That wad supposed to be a joke; rereading it, not really.
Things here seem to be naturally slowing down. Expected. @JimmyMcGill has been working to consolidate some of those discussions into pined threads. I still don't really understand how any of this works.
