I'm thinking of running a Neverwinter Night campaign. It'll probably go once a week for a few weeks, and run at some point in the EST day-probably early EST (GMT -5). My guess is that I'd run it during the weekdays, but an early Sunday AM thing is also possible.

If anyone's got any interest in this, drop a reply. Once I know if there is any interest, I'll start arranging more specific details.

The basic premise begins that the adventurers are all members of an archaeological expedition in the deserts of Thay. Players would be either Red Wizards (minor apprentices to start with), mercenaries hired by the wizards, or slaves working for the wizards. Anything that fits into those concepts would work out well.

If this was made on sundays, then I would be excited to do it. I'll understand if you don't want to bring me though, as it would be my first such campaign ever.

I'll donate some time to thinking up a concept none the less.

Sounds like a decent recipe for cool RP and good ole dungeon crawling.

I'd tap that.

I also want in unless you consider me to be EPIC FAIL.

I come!

Kiaring I also want in unless you consider me to be EPIC FAIL.

Kiaring, you're so cute when you're snarky!

Let the information flow to my inbox, and the playtime will flow to your campaign. I am eager to experiment with a wizard, and a Thayan Magus would be most interesting.

I'm a sucker for Thay.

I'd like to join as an Evoker wizard, if times work out.

Sounds Nice ill Come!

A few more details:

At the Red Wizard's archaeological excavation, several slaves and guards were mysteriously slain while shifting through the debris inside an uncovered minaret.

The first basic quest would involve the Wizard sending in several Knights who he finds expendable as well as several of his more unmanageable/expendable slaves to figure out what happened.

The Wizard is extremely convinced that the research he's doing here will prove incredibly lucrative. He's already uncovered a number of rare stone tablets in a language he is currently spending day and night trying to decipher. Numerous slaves have been killed by ancient booby traps in the minarets, or fallen to their deaths excavating a towering statue--the Wizard is growing frustrated at the costs the operation is running-but currently remains convinced the final pay off will be monumental.

What day and times weekdays? If It fits with me I'll go.

I'm definately interested in this.

Time would be based on people's availability in the frames I mentioned. I'd try to work out something that includes as many people as I can fit most likely.

I would be interested if it was early Sundays.

Early weekdays would be a slight possibility as I am a teacher on call so I don't work everyday, but I wouldn't be able to completely commit.

Weekdays it'd have to be between 3 PM and 8 PM Sundays in the morning are fine (Provided I wake up)

This sounds pretty awesome! Let me know when you guys manage to settle on specific times/dates; I'd love to participate.

-SI

I'm Interested.

Slave ftw.

If this doesn't start for another two weeks, I can jump in as a slave.

Well, that's much more interest than I'd anticipated.

If anyone, whose responded or not, but is interested can shoot me a PM with your play times in the times I've mentioned earlier, I'll work out a final set time that can include as many people as I can over all.

Then we'll figure out character ideas, et cetera and work forward from there.

From those who've responded, looks like Sunday AM (EST) roughly noon GMT is going to work as a time. Anyone else who wants to confirm, suggest other times, let me know.

So what time EST on sunday?

If it's around noon GMT, I can come. 10 am is okay with me

5AM PST, that works perfect for me. How long do you expect the session to last?

I have never played NWN in this matter, how do we make characters and find your game?

Well, I'm still in the planning for much of this and arranging. If I get it off the ground, I'll contact everyone-but to answer some questions--

1) I'd host, and supply everyone with the direct connect address. Likely, it'll also be visible in Story and simply passworded.

2) Everyone would make characters in game and it will stay server vault so I can edit/Leto anything easily myself.

3) Beginning gear will be supplied to characters. To start, some will be better equipped than others (Thayan Knights have more gear than Expendible Slave One), but that will quickly balance out.

I'd like to see about starting in two weeks. That gives me time to finish building the first areas I need, and to arrange details while getting characters made. I'll PM people, via IRC or forums, as things get finalized.

What's a minaret?

MithrilDragon What's a minaret?

You're on the internetz! Use them!

A few players are confirmed, and some I'm waiting to hear back from on this. There are likely a few more slots open if people can make the time. I hope to get characters made this Sunday. PM me if you're up for things.

Why didn't anyone tell me Sunday is Mother's Day?

That won't work at all! Next week, we can start. I'll try to catch people in IRC this week and help get characters made and give people background information.

Thank goodness you realized it is Mother's Day this Sunday, or I would have needed to bow out.

I am busy at the moment so won't be on IRC but I am still interested, as a planned Sunday game may be the only way I get to play NWN for a bit.

So if you can send me the required info by PM instead of IRC that would be great, but I will also try and log onto IRC as well.

I have to back out- I have no idea where this is going to.

Right, so two problems.

1) I need one of the people involved in this to host. I have firewall issues that are currently insurmountable unless I can remember the password on my firewall. I can't. Oops.

2) This Sunday, I'm away, so next Sunday, I'd like to actually try again.

3) I know I said two, I lied. Still a few spots open if anyone else wants to get in on this idea. Think a Call of Cthulu type module set in the Forgotten Realms.

DangerousDan is playing.

Cruzel Could host this, Probably.

I've already got a subdomain set up for project prelude., a pretty rad hosting box. and all kinds of nifty hosting gimmicks And whatnot.

Send me a PM if you still need a host, Sir ORO.

If worst comes to worst I could host, although my upload speed is a maximum of 30 kb/s

All right. Who will host? Who will come?

Nobody but Oro and me and likely Dan were around the appointed time last Sunday; it'd be nice to get some clearance.

This is too awesome to be forgotten! It's Oro, guys. You know you want in. Come join.

Hmm. This sounds like a totally awesome idea, guys. Sorry, but I'm just much too lazy to look at the last posted time, so if you could clarify in the next post...

yeah.
