Description:
The Demiplane is a NWN1 module originally created by my brother and I beginning in 2006. We were inspired by similar local vault worlds that had active playerbases during that time. We continued work on the module beginning in 2011 after finding it stored on an old USB stick. The module is designed with detailed areas that are easy to navigate, with a focus on player driven plots using high level characters. Special attention has been paid to the layout and appearance of each area throughout the module.
Since the server is local vault, players are free to create nearly any character concept up to level 40, and inventory items using the NWN toolset. We recommend that players find a character customization module to level-up different builds and test toolset-edited items. Remember to use "export character" to save your build to your local vault game folder. Item property limitations are in place that prevent total immunity in combat, but the restrictions still allow for a huge variety of customized items and build strategies. A list of disallowed item properties are available on our forum.
The module has been improved and expanded since it's creation. A large 40 area dungeon called Dwelmerdelve was made that is challenging even for well-equipped level 40 characters. Players are encouraged to customize their builds and equipment in order to explore these areas. A subterranean environment was also created that houses a drow city, and more areas exist that reach deeper into the plane. The underground areas are interconnected, and it will take some time to explore them all.
One incentive for exploring the module is a large epic-level item crafting system which has reagents scattered throughout the plane. Some items are rewarded after tough encounters. Most of the magical items, when finally crafted, have unique scripted properties. Players will find recipes and hints on how item creation works if they look thoroughly enough. This opens the opportunity for rewarding solo play.
Another group of areas improving the North Desert were added to the module. A new dungeon, new craftable epic items, expanded lore, desert survival scripts, and a randomized desert exploration system were created. High level enemies roam the desert.
One difficulty with local vault RP is the possibility of players logging in with hacked or overpowered items. We have created a group of item filter scripts that solve this problem, and they've been tweaked over the years to where they can purge all hacked items. The items are not destroyed, but the illegal item properties themselves are removed. Illegally modified character files are also prevented from logging in.
RP is encouraged, but not enforced. Players have the opportunity to make highly detailed RP characters of any level, using the toolset & character customization modules. CEP (Community Expansion Pack) is enabled, so feel free to use custom assets from CEP haks when designing equipment.
Hosting and the technical aspects of running the server are what we enjoy most, besides the game itself. Official support for the Neverwinter Nights series has lessened over the years. Despite this, we will continue to keep Demiplane running.
