Any interest in a player driven PW?
« on: November 19, 2014, 04:21:28 am »


               Hi,


I am an ex neverwinter nights player/modder and current indi developer who is interested in getting back on the scene with an intimate, roleplay, slow progression PW. My aim would be to create a small world that can be built and run from the players (with help from the dev team and Dms of course).


The mod would be a slow progression with most rewards coming from RP.  The world itself would grow as characters ventured out and aided in the construction/exploration of areas and players contributed ideas toward what they want in the world. Ideally the game would be run by the players, with Dms assisting in game and the dev team supporting the needs of the players and providing the mechanics to allow players to run things as opposed to the usual static world's that are most common.


At this stage I am simply trying to gauge interest. I have made a start on some things should I decide to make this idea a reality, however should there not be any interest or too few players to achieve such a thing (due to the age of the game and smaller community than once was...) I will not progress further.


Appreciate whatever advice you can give me, thanks!

in good conciouss expect a small turnout. i just started a server and i have a very small playerbase, but one i can start with. newer servers will usualy get attention, but not alot of play traffic.


 


That also depends what you put in the server, and something for them to do (quests, npcs, lore, action, diversity and varieties of monsters and levels, etc). the community hasnt really shrunk, its just become isolated. so its likely youd get a small groups attention. id keep that in mind, expect small show ups for a long time.


 


It sounds like a great idea, just stay positive and think long term for the server! my server is currently in that format, i work with my own playerbase and we brainstorm ideas for new caves, high leveling areas, and discuss future plans with my own players not just the dev team (who only consists of me and the host of the server). hope that helps & best of luck to you!

Hello


Im new to the forum but not to the game of NWN1, I have not played much over the last 6 years but I would like to get back into making Mods. PW RP ArtisticGaming I've  had 4-5 full time players for almost all of the 80s and half of the 90s  (AD&D) then came NWN, but  then like most every one got busy with life around 06-08. Its was nice.


 


So  I have good toolset skills and can BLINK & SC when I need to. I like to DM and most of my players would say I'm a good DM.  I have some ideas that might be fun and might


fit your idea of a PW Game. I never played a linear game with pre set goals or paths for my players. I would push them to make their own paths and I had fun making things fit and work. Some of my Old school games would last years. 


 


Some of my ideas, like having a Main Server running for the players to start on and build their PCs. To learn what they need to know in the Relm and we can set up a server for the Players PW homes maybe. NWN was the first game I had ever seen that was setup to let The Mods use more then one server and real control over every thing. I miss that in new games.To setup more then one server you just need Full sets of keys Some rules and The SC to port the PCs around. We can rig it so the players start on the main server and when every one is ready port to a server ready to host a part/Mod run by a DM and so on. Some ideas like that?


 


What do ya think.


 


I like Dark, evil relms with lots of good old trubble lerking in every corner But not hack and slashers. I also like wild and fantstic lands of wonder and places few would dare to venture. 


 


So how do I get a hold of ya? I did not see any way to post a email address dirrectly to ya. I don't post address in a open forum
