Tsunami282 posted earlier http://www.neverwinterconnections.com/forums/index.cfm/fuseaction/viewmessages/id/39580/page/60.htm that he'd be willing to do a DMFI developer chat, I think he just needs to pick a suitable day/time.

Thanks for taking on the IRC part!

P.S. I'd be willing to participate in a DM roundtable, depending on the timing; I've committed to running games Saturday and Sunday so far. If there's a bunch of other DMs who sign up for chat, I'd probably be superfluous.

I'd be happy to participate.

What about having 3 sub-sessions on DMing...

1) NWN1 Tips and Tricks
2) NWN2 Tips and Tricks
3) DMing and Storytelling

...the idea being that 1 and 2 are more technical, and 3 is more theoretical and could apply to either engine or to PnP DMing.

I will be gone until July 5th. If you want to contact me just send me a message but it will take a while for me to respond. I am getting ready to come back home from New Zealand so I am extreamly busy.

List of Possible Chat/Seminars
Return To Top       

As Dira's away atm, I'm taking the liberty to post a list of potential themes/topics for chats and seminars. These include a few suggested thus far in threads here on NWC, as well as a few I've approached privately via email/PMs.

In particular, I'd like to see more ideas for NWN2 related topics. I'm not very familiar with groups working on NWN2 stuff, so input here would be appreciated.

Some of these would be done via IRC, some via dedicated mod, or perhaps in The Welcome Inn.

I have a surprise chat I'm working on as well, but will hold off on revealing it until after I contact the parties involved to see if they are available and willing to participate.

If you'd be interested in helping with any of these, or have additional themes or groups which you'd like to see included, please feel free to add them.

Thanks

The NWN Podcast would love to slot in a live Round Table on SpypeCast. We would record it and include in an episode shortly after NWNCon4.

We could do any of the subjects listed or lets us know and we can think of one!

I'm not familiar with Skypecast, but am certainly open to any and all suggestions on ways of holding chats and seminars during the con.

Additional topics or themes are also welcome. I merely put forward a few previously suggested, some I'm developing and a few I thought others might like to see.

On the NWN2 side I would think you might add some basic builders to the mix...i.e. to do a round table.

Theres a group called Parents Gaming Council or some such thing... they have a blog ...invite them to discuss building in NWN2 without being distracted into a pro or anti NWN1 diatribe.

Phoenixus "Tragidy in Tragodor" also has a dev blog IIRC. Supposed to be doing amazing exteriors without corruption and in short time frames..another old NWN hand at the 2 game.

Ernie Noah - ENoa has a dev blog too. Another builder in 2 that could speak to maximization of the toolset?

Just thoughts

Appreciate the heads-up on some of the various NWN2 groups as I'm not up on NWN2 stuff at all. Hopefully when Dira returns from his vacation, he'll be able to start developing some of these a bit more for us.

Karvon... hey

PM me at the bioware boards. Jfoxtail there as well.

I cant say I personally know all these guys - but perhaps I can message them through Bioware boards.

Additionally most the old single player hall of fame builders do have blog sites... I could send them PMs through their blogs and Bioware.

Phoenixus - Tragidy in Tragidor - NWN1 and 2

Ernie Noah - ENOA - the floating city series and a couple of great PnP conversions.

Alazander Hugie and Tiberius at Osian. I used to exchange messages with them a lot.

The Parents Game Council. I dont know them but they seem very approachable in their blog and would be a good groups to start with.

Most of these blog links are found as link on Enoa blog...

NWN Vault>NWN2 mods>B2 Keep on Border land conversion or Tamochin>Enoa>click on this siggy in the link.

I dont know anyone at Obsidian.

On the NWN1 side -

Old Fester Pot seems near his Almraven successor - Shadewood. Simple awesom and an AME winner.

Elven Rogue made a mod called pawn of the Shadovar and seems to be completing Eyes of Ellistrae... an ambitious porject for NWN1.

Drop me a line - I will be happy to be a front man.

As I mentioned to you in PM, there is no travel time as the con is ONLINE

We can arrange times to match the schedules of our guest speakers, though we may have to find some middle ground if we have a number of participants in one event.

Once again, thanks to those helping out in recruiting and arranging the chats and seminars.

I doubt anyone would show up to hang out with a hack such as myself, but if you need some more help as far as speakers, etc, maybe I could talk about breaking into the video game industry - and using NWN to do it!

PC, I'd think that would be an interesting chat actually There are a number of folk who've gotten into the industry via cc development I believe. Would be interesting to hear their take on things.
