I have been creating worlds, adventures and custom content for a very small group ( since 2003.
I began my DM career assisting another DM with a world that was fairly big, and after lots of learning curves we were able to produce a persistent world that was almost entirely interactive; that is to say that besides resolving stories and creating areas, we as DMs alternated acting all NPC roles according to role scripts we wrote before game sessions. We produced custom models, textures, tiles, music, and pretty much any character item that was asked for or required for role play. It was completely driven by player action...
Sadly, our campaign collapsed after about 6 years - this was our fault. From there, most of us drifted away to other games.
But I never lost my love of role play, and although I don't love DND 3.5, this game engine is the high water mark for customization. I have been fiddling with it for many years, despite long personal breaks for Perfect World, Forsaken World, Guild Wars, and Guild Wars 2. All those games have great social elements, but have no control for individual members and their goals. It was frustrating for me but there were no other options.
Now, some of our group seek something more than pre-canned stories, and fixed results. We seek the camaraderie of a more basic group dynamic, with absolute control for the DMs to serve the players and the stories that they create. We seek players who are motivated and interested in role play, and the options that NWN provides for world makers. We are interested in a weekly, or biweekly RP game. This would be a completely player driven event, where 2 DMs control, build and play with an adult group of RP players, interested in a fantasy steampunk/gothic horror world.
Our original group is now no longer viable, and despite my efforts no one I know seems to be interested in this kind of thing. So I now turn my question out to the world of strangers and seek interest from the interwebs.
Are there any players here who still think this kind of thing is fun?
