If you're doing the first one then I'm in. Otherwise, don't have my expansions yet

LoLth

I'll try to make it. (have to update first...pesky patches.. i wuv my dsl!)

First sounds good as a way to ease back in.

Ivan

I could be on for this, but tell me, is it mainly roleplaying based or action based type games ye play?

MarVeL

Sounds good and I wouldn't mind giving the first one a crack. Now who wants to play what? Might go for a Dwarf Cleric myself

Nevyn

i bags the backstabbinsneaky lil rogue

Good to see you about again Marvel

Rev Hellfire

First module it is.

Lets met in #nwn.ie at around 8:45 and we'll get sortted.
Make sure you've patched up, and if possible get TeamSpeak installed since we might use that.

Nevyn

TS Cool

LoBo

I'm on for it - the module's readme says [5-10 players level 1-2]

I'll play any class as needed.

Looks like a neat module

Raphael

I'll probably play big man with big axe. Wouldn't want to accidentaly set you on fire or anything

Nevyn

Go for a greatsword. You roll 2d6 instead of d12, so overall you do more damage.

Although triple damage criticals ARE nice. The looks on other peoples' faces when your first level half-orc barbarian notonly cleaves straight through an enemy, but also straight through his horse in one blow, are always priceless...

I haven't played NWN in years. Would that be a problem?

Raphael

I like the axeman character, I've played with it before.

Mightn't actually be able to play, in retrospect, not sure if I'm going to be at home sunday night :-(

vasch_ro

I am a newbie is that okay ? would like to give it a try !

Khalim

i am a newbie as well. (just bought NWN last month, still in chapter 1 official campaign)

if there is still room, i'd like to join. i'd prefer playing a ranger.

a few questions:
1) what is this #nwn.ie?
2) teamspeak, i don't have a microphone - would that be a problem?

thanks for your patience

Rev Hellfire

Hi Khalim,

1) what is this #nwn.ie?
#nwn.ie is a channel on an IRC server on quakenet. To avail of it you will need an IRC client, mIRC is the most popular.
Below isthe connect screen you will get when you start up, just select the same as in the image (using your own names)



Then when you have connected, type /join #nwn.ie

We should all be there.

2) teamspeak, i don't have a microphone - would that be a problem?
Not at all, although if you can get the chance to pick up a cheap headset (game have them for 10 euro or so) it works great. Just means you'll be typing and we'll not

3) I haven't played NWN in years. Would that be a problem?
Most of us haven't played as a group either/or in a long time, so thats no problem, this is a nice easy module to get back into the swing of things.
So we'll use it to sort out the teething problems and then look at more complex modules.

4) Hack and slash or Green Leggings?
Depends on the people playing naturally no one is going to stop you bringing a tin foil axe(tm) if you want.

spooky donkey

well im currentlly downloading the 1.65 patch and installin g never winter on my new system. So all goin well I should be on also tonight. I just found out about this today so im a bit late getting sorted. Id like to play a fighter if we dont already have too many!

Khalim

another question:

i've got mirc installed, which server is it? [or does it not matter?]

i have to select from a drop-down menu which by default is undernet:random eu server

thanks in advance. looking forward to tonight.

Rev Hellfire

quakenet, I've updated the image above.

The server is now running the portal module, so you can create characters if you want.
Warning: stay away from Teddy.

LoBo

Well, we had a bit of a run around until the server exploded. I think there were too many PC respawns..

Verdict: interesting looking module. we now know what to do. With 6 players, level 1 is still WAAAY too low, level 3 might be more like it as we got beaten up over and over and hadn't even left the main town.

Rematch is at tuesday at 9pm, anyone who wants to play can.

www.boards.ie/chat/ goes to IRC btw via a java applet if you don't want to use mIRC.

Nevyn

server died and coudl not be gotten into and it was too late
to be looking for a chicken to sacrifice when my many attempts
even with the dm pword failed.

we are going to try again on Tuesday the 1st of Feb again at 9pm.

vasch_ro

thanks to rev hellfire for all his help and patience
fully patched up and ready to go now , with team talk installed also

i am working till 10 pm tuesday but will keep an eye on the thread for other dates during the week / weekend.

Khalim

my thanks as well for all you guys patience in helping me through setting up teamspeak and everything else.

have a free day tomorrow - better clock some time practising the game.

i'm on for tuesday night - unless something important comes up...

Rev Hellfire

Yes indeed the server did indeed crash, its something which can happen with older modules, one of the perils of running user written modules I guess.
I do have a save done of your game from about 10pm so you'll not lose everything, alas I had not enabled autosave (this is now on for every 20 minutes).
If the server goes down, those of you with access to the admin tool should be able to restart it.

for those of you looking for the teamspeak channel, here's a direct link to it
[url=teamspeak://games3.iol.ie/channel=Neverwinter Nights]Neverwinter Nights Channel[/url]

The server is currently running a placeholder module, which doesnt allow u to do much, but does offer a shop, and a way to meet the grim reaper. So if you want to create a character a head of time you can.

LoLth

sorry I couldnt make it. The 67a conspired to trap me in town until it was too late... that and the attention seeking pintage...

sorry!

spooky donkey

Well i sdhould be good for tuesday im getting off at 9pm so Thead can fire up my system for me and we should have our Broadband connection sorted I just rang them so it should be much better. I was casting spells only to discover i was dead even though the looked like they had been cast. With that mod I think we will need a rocket launcher and a rail gun ;p

Nevyn

ah rail gun my eye watch it sparky or you will come home to find your playing a
half orc female monk or barbarian.

But it is still not a bad idea if people want to swap out char between now and tomorrow they create them on the place holder mod if they wish to switch that is.
