Looks good Karvon.

I'll be running a series of challenge modules geared toward the four main character classes. Each about 2 hours long. The Friday before I can help at the Welcome Inn.

1.Fighters Challenge (Saturday)
2.Clerics Challenge (Saturday)
3.Wizards Challenge (Sunday)
4.Rogues Challenge (Sunday)


I don't know if this has been brought up yet, but all games scheduled for the NWCON should have “NWCON4” in their titles.

Example: NWCON 4 Presents, Lions’ “Fighter Challenge”

Very good point LoH,

All events should be prefaced...

NWCon 4:

It might be wise to add a secondary category such as...

NWCon 4 - Game - Event title.

Secondary titles could cover things like...

Game
Chat
Presentation
Contest

NWCon 4 Logo
Return To Top       

We need a logo for our con, so if any of you artsy types out there have any ideas, please send me your submissions. I'll pass these around to the other members of the NWCon 4 organizing committee and we'll vote on which one to use. I reckon we need to finalize on this by the end of the month so we can use it in adverts starting from July. Thus, a deadline of June 23 for submissions, so that the committee has a week to review and discuss which one to use.

As with earlier con's, we can set up some logoed merchandise and use the profits for door prizes with any balance being sent on to NWC to aid with ongoing operating costs.

Thoughts or comments on this are welcome

What Lion is doing kind of echoes what I was going to organise, I think. So do you want me to consider something else?

Vanya, whatever kind of event you want to run is fine; the more the merrier

In any case, depending on time zones, your event(s) and LoH's might not conflict at all and provide more options for folks.

I think that the NWC calendar only lets you schedule events two weeks out, so you may still want to have a master event calendar in a stickied thread.

I will use my Moderator powers to help organize the forum any way I can, of course. I'm also willing to contribute toward prizes (maybe a 4th edition Player's Handbook, or similar merchandise?).

I would recommend starting sub threads for focused areas of discussion relevant to the Con. Don't forget to be as clear as possible when selecting thread titles, to avoid confusion.

Well... I've already scheduled 4 events over that weekend on the calender and had one person sign up for one, so seems to be working ok atm

Have started one new thread in the DM forum to address related issues and agree more specific threads can be started as needed to keep from making one confusing catch-all thread

Appreciate whatever help you can provide LB

Thanks

CEP @ NWCON
Return To Top       

We, at the CEP are interested in hosting an CEP showcase event. The idea would be simple. A large Mall type of situation where folks can hang out, explore and perhaps locate a CEP Team member for a chat or a bit of Q&A.

Hello! This sounds like a lotta fun!

I'm currently the scripter leading the team updating the DMFI Wands & Widgets for NWN1 1.69. Skunkeen has suggested that I do a talk on the development of the DMFI wands and widgets. I'm not sure how interested people would be in that, but I think I can make myself available on IRC chat for that if you want.

Dira's coordinating our chats and seminars, so contact him about joining and scheduling. I, for one, would certainly be interested in hearing about DMFI plans for 1.69.

NWCon 4 update
Return To Top       

NWCon 4 will run from Fri, Sept 26 thru Sun, Sept 28.

The current summary of what's been posted thus far or what I've gleaned from other threads

Suggested staff [Lazybones]

* Organizer - Karvon (chair of event committee, responsible for seeing that everything gets done)
* Public relations/advertising (post info at the Vault, other NWN1/2 sites, Bioware forums, etc... be creative). Getting an artist on board is helpful, as a logo helps capture the event and make it more impressive.
* Prize coordinator (collects prizes/commitments from NWCers, contacts Bioware/Obsidian to see if they have any swag lying around, runs mechanism for selecting recipients, responsible for seeing that prizes are sent from those donating to winners). Even if this is just a few NWCon T-shirts this makes a big difference, in my opinion.
* Games coordinator - Karvon (responsible for keeping the scheduling thread current with the list of games)
* Chat coordinator - Dira (responsible for setting up and organizing the chat events)
* Welcome Inn coordinator (responsible for hosting the PW that weekend, maybe setting up mini-events there)

Events

The Welcome Inn - online chat/event area
Open IRC chat channel
Door prizes
Seminars via IRC and/or mod.
* DMFI DM Training
* Designer/company
* General help Q&A
* Builders
* Topical presentations/discussions
Gaming
* Arena/Gladiatorial
* Bard/Storytelling competition
* One shot adventures
* Open PW events
* Team events

Thanks for stepping up to the plate, karvon. Looks like we're off to a good start.

P.S. Can someone make karvon a moderator? Otherwise forum organizing activities are going to be a big pain.

This request should be presented to the site admins (i.e. Gilaun and Rizzen); mods don't have this power.

If you need to have certain threads stickied just let me know, but really General moves slowly enough that it's not really that urgent an issue.

It's being able to edit/update sticky threads that will be the biggest pain. No sense in handicapping our organizers.
