Hi, i have been playing NWN since it first came out (no prior DnD experience). I've programmed in C for over 20 years, and NW Script for about 2 years.
I started playing on action servers, but after a while it became somewhat boring as it seemed that everyone was just leveling and trying to make a more powerful character build then the next person. By luck i found a couple of low magic worlds where the best items that could be had were +3, no haste, no immunities and most importantly plots that the players were actually involved in. The DMs were no longer "server cops", but rather participants in the world that made it come alive.
After a few months of this i decided to make my own PW, drawing from the best of what i'd seen that i liked. A few friends that i'd met on other servers joined to help and we formed a core group of six, myself as the scripter/ main area builder, four PnP DMs with about 30 years combined experience, and a story writer. We spent well over a year developing a module set on the Vilhon Reach, with some really interesting sub-plots involving major groups like the RW, CotD, Harpers and the Emerald Enclave. Sadly it never got off the ground, and the others have moved on to other games and to existing PWs with established player bases. I was left with the main project if at some point i wanted to resurrect it.
What i'd eventually like to try here is to modify parts of this into ongoing campaigns, and meet up with some members to play and co-dm with on a regular basis. The module was designed as a PW and as such it'd really have to be ripped apart and rebuilt around campaigns, but that is certainly doable. I love the FR setting, particularly this area as its one of the oldest inhabited areas of Faerun and yet has very little written about it.
Thanks for taking the time to read this, and hopefully i'll meet up with you in-game!
