A Call to Arms

 

Ah, a good rest, just what you needed after fighting your way out of that last dungeon. Sure, the bed could have been softer, and the noise in the taproom below could have woken the dead, but it's better than the uncomfortable half-sleep on top of rocks that you catch in the wilderness.

 

Just as you're about to step out the door of your inn room, you notice a fine sheet of vellum sticking out from beneath the door.

 

As you pick it up, gold-leafed borders gleam in the light. At first, the decorative page appears to be empty, but then, letters slowly swirl into being on the page in a smooth and even calligraphic hand.

Dear Adventurer,  

 

News of your exploits travels fast. We of the Adventurer's Club are looking for a few brave adventurers to join our cause.  

 

Whether you're a first rate fighter with years of experience, or a wizard just starting your career as an adventurer, we welcome you to join us in proposing new quests, taking part in adventures, and discussing our shared experiences.  We eagerly await your response.  

 

Yours sincerely,

The Adventurer's Club

 

 

 

What is this Adventurer's Club, and why did they leave a note for you?

 

The AC works like a bookclub, but instead is focused on modules for Neverwinter Nights 1 & 2. We solicit nominations for modules to play, vote on which of the nominations we play, and then we all play. When we've had time to play and get to know the work, we have a semi-directed discussion about it in this forum.  The goal is to build community, draw some attention to deserving projects, and provide some good feedback to builders.

 

If this sounds like your kind of club, come check us out at The Adventurer's Club forums on Neverwinter Vault.

 

— Sir Adril

The Adventurer's Club is the brainchild of Sir Adril, and is a new project that we've started at Neverwinter Vault.  We're currently seeking nominations for our first adventure club module!  Please stop by, say hello, and maybe nominate a deserving module!

Our first module is ILL Met in Lankhmar by Udasu.  We are planning to begin discussion of this module next Monday, August 11 (more or less!).  The module only takes an hour or so to play, so we encourage you download, play, and then participate in the discussion!

I'm excited about the potential of Small Village Woes being nominated for play in the Adventure's Club once the final review copy is released (which should be very soon). I very much enjoy what you all are doing, and the kind of response/discussion that's generated about the module's played. Good work all.

               Yep, I'm planning to nominate it once it is released!  Unless, of course, you nominate it yourself before I get to it! '>

Our second Adventurer's Club module for Neverwinter Nights 1 is Arctacia Adventures Trilogy by Arctacia!  This module was nominated by Werelynx:

Game:  NWN1

Module Name (and author): Arctacia Adventures Trilogy by Arctacia

Neverwinter Vault Link: http://neverwinterva...entures-trilogy

Character starting level, requirements & info: pregenerated Suge Zerdolux character

Estimated hours of play (if available): 8-10 hours

Why submitted: adventure concentrating on puzzles, inspired by crypt of riddles.

The plan will be to play the module and start the discussion next week.  If you don't get done in time, don't sweat it; chime in whenever you catch up!

 

We will be discussing it at: http://neverwinterva...gy-arctacia-914

I was kind of excited at the thought of playing with other people, but than I realized that this was a solo playthrough and group discussion. Any plans for incorporating group play to this idea?

               
               

               
            

[Legacy_werelynx]

               

We have not planned that. If you want to start such a trend you would probably need:

1. Some nominations for modules (or PWs?) that can be played in coop, preferably in separate thread

   
2. To think about the timezones: what time is everyone sleeping/working/playing? Can we manage to gather enough players?

We have to ties: one in NWN1 Modules and one in NWN2 modules.

Thus I have opened polls for a little while again:
