Well I was only able to locate Battledale 2. It seems I don't have Pilgrims Rest or if I do it is buried someplace I haven't looked. Which also means the countless screenshots I took back then are MIA as well. Damn it all!!

Nice to see some familiar names on here.  Hi PDH!

 

I happen to have a copy of the BD1 module.  I guess I had friends in high places.

 

Looking back, it seems crazy, that there was a weekend in which I flew to Sweden to meet a dozen players from across Europe purely due to the very existence of this server.  But I guess that was a thing that happened, and is a testament to how strong a community was built around this (in hindsight) all too brief experience.  

 

The more I think about it, the more it blows my mind.

Would either of you be willing to upload your copies to http://neverwintervault.org/? It would be nice to archive this work rather than let it disappear.  I'd personally like to just load the module up and take a look around for old times' sake.

Wow such a long time ago.  I just stumbled onto this post, it is nice to see some old names I remember from the BD days.

 

I played Vastan Aylomen, Celador Ashenfell and Diero Falcone over the two incarnations of BD and I DM'd a little on BD2.  So nice to see some other people remember it fondly too.  

 

I don't think I kept anything sadly, no screenshots, none of my old stories from the forums or anything, some great memories are all that are left.

Well, well, looky here...

 

Some of you might remember me as secretly-Talosian sorceress Elysiae Dathiir, morose cleric of the moon goddess Elvewyn or Loisur Stenesten, dwarven bard.

 

I also DM'd the place.

 

A true pleasure to hear from you all again '>

Battledale will always have a fond place in my heart.

Had some of my best role playing experiences on that server, and it left me with several friends I'm still happy to know to this day.

 

(Used to have quite a few screenshots from the server, but alas, disk failures have stolen them all away.)

Just checked this thread after a very long time and amazed to see all the names again! Pup! PDH! Paxi! Edd! Senkrad!

 

I'm so happy to see that BD had the same impact on so many people that it had on me. I too made some lifelong friends, one of whom moved country and now lives in the same city as me. We shared a house for a number of years and he's now one of my best friends.

 

I've often dreamed that somehow someday I'd stumble upon news of a Battledale Reunion and the server would go up (the original server, not that strange second one) one last time for everyone to log in, in-character, and enjoy a catch up around that campfire next to those training dummies.

 

So anyway, courtesy of one of our illustrious former DMs, my long searches led me to something I wanted to share with you all. I presume that nobody is going to mind me sharing this with you guys, I think at this point it is like public domain, belongs in a museum or something:-

Hope the link works for you all. So go get that NWN reinstalled and fire up some local servers. It's a beautiful sight after all these years, trust me '>

If you want to reach a wider audience with your module, you could upload it to the new NW Vault:

Oh wow, the module brings back so many memories.  Thank you so much for sharing this.  It is sad to see it empty, but at the same time just being able to revisit the areas is amazing.

I really can’t wait to get home then make time to take a peek.  A few  years ago I started to map the Battledale module out for a pen and paper game.  Unfortunately the server I posted the information on got wiped but I still have the hand written notes packed away.  Has anyone else made the attempt to apply it to PnP game?
