Topic: OT: DnD Thread (DH)

[Braxton_RIP]

Here was that map I was talking about DH.  Only the major stuff is included, small villages and what not arn't on there because I don't want to make it huge.  Isle of the Damned was my final area with these super buffed fallen angles (mainly Solars on steriods and stuff).

[FPF-Wanderer]

D&D, cool.  Been many moons since I played (1st Edition, not that ungodly 2nd Edition). I still have my original character. 

[KBFLordKrueg]

See the D&D 2 movie on Sci-Fi tonight?
Better than the first one (which was a little disappointing)
Played 1st edition for many years...Great Game...

[Julin Eurthyr]

Actually, I sorta prefer 2nd edition over the first...
Most of the stuff / functionality from 1st edition made it into second (until they started the 20+ level stuff, the 15 books for each class, etc. etc.)

The one that I'm not a big fan of is 3rd edition, the complete restructuring of everything has confused me to no end...

[KBF-Crim]

I have it all...books, dice,charactor sheets....even still have over 500 painted leads..

Had seveal charactors...

A mage-- Dewit,
A fighter--Randien

( funny thing....my first and favorite chactor....was the only fighter in the party...died ALOT....ended up with such a negative charisma that simply removing his helmet in an Inn would cause all the patrons to attack..got chased out of more than one village...DM was a bastard...hehe)

a fighter split class simular to the duelist,...Garret Jax
 a monk/thief/assasin,..Mendack
 a fighter/ mage,....Alek Dool
 an anti-palidin possesed by a lawful evil sword....Ackmoor
An even a renegade maintainence Bot..kinda like Migiversh R-2 with an attiude and some heavy weaponry AMOK (Articlulated Mechaniclly Optimized Kenetipod)....party of time travelers rescued pod from automated dismantling station...

Got and played all the gold boxed IBM AD&D adventures...

Yeah the movie wasn't bad... except for that dopey cleric who tried to take on a white dragon all alone. 

[FPF-DieHard]

Just started a Pen and Paper campaign again with my old group, we were BSing on TS about this last night.

Killed 3 PCs in the first session, damn they are rusty

[Commander Maxillius]

I just seem to understand the 3.5 rules better.  Some friends of mine in high school tried showing me how to play 2nd ed. but I just couldn't get it

[FPF-Paladin]

Just trolling around until I get back home... hrm, people thinking of a DnD campaign or something?

Curious; are there a handful here interested in playing through NWN or something?  I design for a PW 24/7 server, it's a very difficult place to survive though if you're used to a lot of magic items or easy monsters (nearly everything is modified, the default NWN creatures are a joke).

I'm asking because I also have been working on a NWN campaign I was going to run through Neverwinter connections, basically semi scheduled games I'd run as a DM for whomever wanted to play.  If there's any interest in this, let me know.. it's going to be a little longer before I get home or have time to play anything but there's nothing stopping me from working on it offline from here in.

Anyhow, I'll be back soon enough, I'm hoping to catch SGOV if I can manage.

Yeah there is a few around here who do play NWN, i am a DM on a action/RP server that uses a nordock module, though its been heavilly modified.

And Welcome back Paladin

[FPF-DieHard]

We were talking about doing that when NWN2 comes out in a few months.   We've just been BSing a lot about this since my old party started playing pen and paper again.

That would be cool, of course last I heard it was late Q206/early Q306 so it might be awhile..

Shoot, I thought it was coming out this year.

Anyone know where I can get NWN besides eBay?

[FPF-Paladin]

I think it's sold as a Gold edition now with the two expansions in one set?  Not sure otherwise... I do know the price came down some time ago though.

[Braxton_RIP]

Actually, once NWN2 comes out, I would be glad to host a server for us to run our homegrown dungons.  I used to do it for my friends in town.  Someone would make a dungeon that would take one or two hours and some Friday or Saturday, we would all get together and run it, with the person who made it DMing.  It was a lot of fun.

[Grim]

I believe you can get the platinum edition which has both expansions, some of the modules that have been created by bioware plus some other extras. Not sure on the price of it though.

[Hexx]

EBGames has NWN Diamond for @$29.99 US - should have (I think) the original packs + some of the player modules.

If someone's throwing a campaign together I'll pick it up as well, I'm missing a few CD's from all the original packs.

BTW- what exactly does a DM do in NWN? (only played SP) seems he would set up the adventure then... ???

Well DM duties depend on what sort of server you are running, on hardcore RP servers DM's are quite busy people as they are usually constantly running RP quests for the playerbase. As the server I DM on is a mixture of RP/action i run both large and small scale RP events plus i run some action events as well.

Other duties i do as a DM is enforce the rules that are on the server, help players if they require assistance, server issues such as fixing bugs, rebooting the server etc. I am starting to look into the more devlopment side of the game as well, starting to learn more about creating areas. implementing new items etc.

So DM duties can vary depending on the server type.

When I was lead admin on Ace's World, I played the adjudicator role.  We actually made a whole DM area with offices, a large court room, and waiting areas.  Most of my online time was spent hearing player complaints in that court room as well as punishing those who broke server rules.

I made some beautiful areas.  We were running a Lord of the Rings mod, so I put together the Timeless Hall of Ilúvatar.  Might have been the best looking area in the module.  It was set in the void (using the caverns tileset) with fireflies for stars.  I had this long bridge that ran out to a 3x3 island of stone, which was the only ground in the void itself.  Put a tower with very tall doors in the middle of that.  Right in front of the tower, I had four small trees, one for each season, since it was the Timeless Void.  It was a stunning site, since to get to it, you had to find the correct transition in a 3x3 grid of completely black areas that would be infinite loop if you didn't find it.

Now I want to play NWN again LOL.
