Purple - I LOVED DoD. Really felt like good ol' Baldur's Gate - I just missed Minsc and Boo. There are those who would disagree with me, but I found DoD to be the BEST 'epic' scale SP NWN module I've ever played. One warning, though - and it would be my big issue - they had to PULL it as a Premium module, so when they did, they had to cut out a lot of the ending, I think. Thus, the ending is a bit disappointing, IMHO. Still well w orth playing.

WCoC can be played mp, but it requires use of the consle to jump players. DoD was a great mod, but I have to agree with FW, that it seems the ending was cut a bit short. It's a shame it was pulled, because I think it would have been worth the money to purchase it.
As for the ones mentioned in that thread, I have to give a nod to the Shadowlords/Dreamcatcher campaign and An Ancient Heart, even though the later isn't finished (I think there's only 2 of a planned triology available for download). Pool of Radience is pretty good, but it's large and will require a lot of running just to get anywhere: most of the areas are 12x12 or larger. If you have the patience for it, it's a good mod.

Well I'm forced to poke my nose in to the General Forum to recommend the Hex Coda:
http://nwvault.ign.com/View.php?view=Modules.Detail&id=4078
This is, practically without a doubt, the best singleplayer module I've ever played. The storyline is excellently told and intriguing, the setting fleshed-out and detailed without being a slog to understand (and more importantly, highly original - at least for NWN), the characters are sublime on occasion, and brilliant pretty much the rest of the time. I have to say that this must be one of the crowning achievements of NWN singleplayer to date.
Aside from the Hex Coda, Gagne's earlier Penultima series are a good laugh, with clever storylines, and great characters. Strangely though, I never liked his Elegia modules.
I'd also recommend Red Moon Rising:
http://nwvault.ign.com/View.php?view=Modules.Detail&id=4886
It's more traditional fantasy than Gagne's work, but very much an involving storyline and a well-made module.
Aside from that, I've been a little disappointed with a lot of NWN's singleplayer output. Some of it is very good - but there's a distinct lack of notably original storylines out there. (I hear the Bastard of Kosigan series is very good though - however, I've yet to try it.)
Cheers,
