Deathbringer's Reign

Welcome to Deathbringer's Reign! We are a team of modders remaking the entirety of the first Baldur's Gate in BG3's engine, and this mod allows you to play through our first milestone: the complete prologue in Candlekeep! Our next major goal is to release a second demo which expands the world to include the areas of High Hedge, Beregost, the Friendly Arm Inn, and Shipwreck's Coast, as well as the classic companions found in those regions. We're actively looking for volunteers to help us bring this massive vision to life; if you have any skills to contribute (such as Level Design, Writing, Modeling, Animating, Concept Art, or Programming) or just want to follow our progress, then consider joining our discord: https://discord.gg/eZUVFDZPmG. Our discord also contains a FAQ to give you a better idea of the scope of our project and exactly how we plan on translating the original game into BG3's engine.
