Hello all,
Thought I'd direct this primarily at OldScratch, but everyone feel free to jump in.
Now that NWCon has come and gone, and I have achieved Ultimate Fulfillment by playing in a Fleet Street game  , many people are back to looking at ways to improve NWC.
J'Dai Voisin, Bigblupaw, myself, and others have been tossing ideas in the Mentoring thread around more courses for new players. In particular, a lot of discussion has centered around these ideas:
NWC101 - A course (probably IRC-based) that would teach new site members about the details of Neverwinter Connections (your profile, time zones, customizing portraits, scheduling games, signing up for games, the ratings system, forums, etc.)
MP101 - An in-game seminar that reviews primarily mechanical aspects of multiplayer NWN (chat modes, Quick Chat, running vs walking, Custom Text Macros, hosting, etc.)
RP101 - An in-game seminar that talks more about typical roleplaying conventions (scouting, looting, OOC vs IC speech, creating your character, out-of-game rping, rping difficult characters, etc.)
We have the basis for all three of these in the seminars that were run during NWCon II.
We thought that it would make sense to run it by you, and to see if we should perhaps roll this up under the Neverwinter University umbrella. One idea was to run these monthly, so that there would be a seminar each week at the same time, in this order:
NWC101
MP101
RP101
DM101
That may help in scheduling, or in making it easier for the hordes of new players to understand when courses will be offered. It also might encourage participants to be a little more reliable in their attendance.
Of course, we could think about doing the same in a GMT-friendly time as well.
So, we thought we would run this idea by you folks here in this forum. Any thoughts?
