Adventure Gamers Neverwinter Nights Party Thingy...Something
 

Erm....ok lets arange one, I know there are a few people who play it on this forum and it could be fun!

start fresh and work our way through the main campeign, expansion or some mod. I dont really mind wich...

That's a neat idea. Wish I hadn't traded in my copy. Then again, I've been eyeing the Diamond collection for awhile, hoping the price will drop to twenty dollars.

Count me in whenever.

I expected allot more response than this....Ok so who on the forums actualy has NWN, the few I know are Lacey Jaz...Seebaruk I think....

Come on! we should organise a big night! maybe even have someone play the dungeon master!

I have NWN. I could get reaquainted with it I suppose...

Do it! the plan was to start new characters anyway so everyone would be the same level

Well, alright....but I call sorceror.

Just give me a time frame and whatever else we'll need to know and I'll join in.

Ill probably Do a "warrior-bard-dragon desciple" thing :P

So so far wa have:

Lacey
Spiwak
and me

I know there are more out there :frown:

Dammit, I am only capable of playing magic users. I suppose I could twat stuff with a big sword, so long as I can pick the most ludicrous voice sample set. Or maybe record my own :D...

you could always go a wizard

I play it, but I don't have any of the expansions...I also have been looking at diamond collection...

Well if there's only going to be three of us then two casters might not be the most efficient party. We would need one priest or healer, a tank, and then a spellcaster.

:confused: A tank?

I mean a fighter/barbarian (or a paladin, actually). A character that can basically absorb and deal out a lot of damage.

EDIT Oh and I don't have any of the expansions, either. If that is a problem I guess this could always be an excuse to buy Diamond.

I dont know how NWN works, if people without the expansion cant play on a server with people who have the expansion....you should the them anyway, the level cap gets raised and theres prestige classes :P

I guess I would be interested in playing, usually play as a paladin though.

Ok so that would make:
Lacey
Spiwak
LeChimp
Phantom

and possible Art if he decided to buy it again :P
Whos else has it or is willing to buy it?

I know I'm brand new here (usually post at JA+), but I have an interest in playing, and I usually play as a fighter anyways so it looks like it wouldn't be hard. Depends on how much of a commitment this would take though.

Well, would I need to buy anything else besides the game? I mean, I don't need to go buy a microphone for voice chat or anything, right? I can swing $30 for the game no problem (I have a $5 Best Buy coupon!). I haven't played online multiplayer before, but if you don't mind having someone new at it, I think it would be an interesting experience.

And what would the play schedule be like? Being in different timezones might make it difficult.

When I was playing NWN, I was a Bard character, but didn't like that one so much. It was probably because I spoiled the game by cheating and leveling up all the way;) (but I wouldn't do that for this sort of thing). I could try being a tank character or a priest. I think I prefer someone with at least a little bit of spellcasting ability. Shoot. I forgot about the rogue class. Or maybe a thief/mage. Or Thief/cleric. I dunno. Dammit, now I'm excited.

When would you be thinking of doing this? The only time I'm really free is Sun & Mon evenings, and sometimes Wed & Thurs. I'm on holiday next week though.

Haven't played in a while, I've got about a million quests on the go in the second chapter. If there's 4 chapters and 2 expansions then doubt I'll ever finish it!

Oh, and I had a fighter character, with Katana proficiency.

Sweet. This could be pretty fun.

I also have spring break next week.

Ok well the plan was to have everyone start a new character so we would be all at the same level, so that would mean it wouldnt matter what quests you have an havent done as youll be back at the start.

As for times...well well need to all post what times we are all availible then we would be able to sort something out.

And you wouldnt need to buy a microphone since we can just type in the game chat :P

And if everyone has the expansion we could always try one of those campaigns....or one of the fan made ones if they are any good.

So what times are best for everyone?
Im guessing everyone is going to be most free around the weekends so its probably going to be around friday-sunday

I'm free whenever, so long as I'm given notice ;).

Cool, if it's Sunday evening then I might be able to join for a bit, unless its next sunday. Sorry, I know I'm awkward!

Ok so that would make it:

Lacey
Seebaruk
Spiwak
Art(possibly)
LeChimp
Kuddles

anyone else? By the size of that NWN discussion I thought there would have been allot more :frown:

I guess I could join, but the time zone thing will be troublesome...

Thats why Im asking for people who want to join in to post what times they could play in, and days :P

Well, you also don't want there to be so many people on-screen that the game becomes unmanageable or overly laggy.

I think sometime Sunday is your best bet for most people. I know it would work for me.

well I think a server can hold upto 16, but the party max is 4 so if we had 16 people joining us then we would have 4 partys who could split up and take on diferent parts of whatever scenario we decide to choose

say we chose to do the main campeign, then we could have a party per district :P

I won't be free until after the APs in May.


But after this school year is over, I am going to take a gap year, so I believe I'll have some time then.


- :) :) :) :) :) :) :)

:frown:


:D

I have some sort of NWN with the main expansions editons (as a lovely shiny set) I guess I could sign up for Sunday evenings UK time if that helps.

Me play fighter that smash things good with big sword (as a general rule) Paladin character is OK because I'm so lovely and good anyway. :D

Thats the Diamond edition :P
so what does that make?
7?
and it looks like its gonna be a sunday(s?) after all :D

Sounds good matey. You reckon we'll be starting this Sunday?

Oh I missed Jaz's posts. I guess we can count her in in may if this thing takes off :P

I wouldnt be able to make it this sunday :frown: got an all night Lan Party twomorrow so im be shattered sunday :P

I bought Diamond today. I'll probably play around with it a little bit just to get back into how the game works before this thing starts.

EDIT: I thought it was kind of lame how the Diamond edition has nothing but a single DVD-ROM. I guess it doesn't matter since I already have the manual and map from the original release, but still. I guess Atari's viewing this as their last chance to make any money on the game before 2 comes out, though.

The diamond verson also comes with some of the new campeigns that you have to buy from the bioware site

Bit of a mixed blessing, they're rather short and at least 2 are incomplete with (still) little hope of them seeing a sequel/conclusion. Arguably the best of the premium modules, Pirates of the Sword Coast is still only available via download.

The Platinum edition was also the last verison to come with a printed manual. Diamond's manual is PDF only, which translates to heaps of ruleset queries showing up again on the NWN message boards. Its a lot more bother to RTFM.

Given the mix of expansions you lot have, the odds of you all playing in the same game any time soon seems rather remote. Not to mention someone has to step up to the plate and host the game(s), and they'll need a rather robust internet connection.

I suppose I could join but only when i have some free time.

Hey, don't complain about the Diamond edition; the UK release with the premium modules (available for about five seconds before being pulled) along with the release with the game and both expansion packs both came on CDs and without manuals ;). I weep :frown:...
