SETTING: You are one of the Bad Old Ones, a primordial soul that tried to usurp the will of the Godlings. For that you were banished to the depths of the Plane of Shadow, never to return. In the ensuing millenia, your soul has broken free of the prison that held you there and has incarnated in the Prime Material. The Godlings sleep now, unaware of your return.
THE PLOY: You have banded together with like-minded beings to raise an army and harvest the Souls of Men to fuel your ambitions. Though you will have allies to aid you in your adventures, old foes have also returned. They, too, have designs on supremacy and will stop at nothing to destroy you. You will start with a small base, a limited number of assistants, and some PC co-adventurers. Some of you will be adventurers, and will scour the realm for magical artifacts to further your own ends. Some of you will be crafters, building the engines of destruction and managing hordes of underlings. And some of you will be generals, commanding legions of followers to crush all that stand in your way. Cast your fate in with the Dwarves, the Goblinoids, the Drow or the Undead and master the free world.
THE TECHNOLOGY: Running on the old NWN game platform, anyone with a computer capable of half-decent performance will have the opportunity to engage in this campaign.
NWN will run on PC, Mac and Linux, it is one of the true cross-platform games NWN was released in 2002 and is available for
next to nothing. Bonus points if you find a copy floating around in the retail world. The campaign we will be playing adds never before seen features - hundreds of new monsters, items, weapons, cloaks, rideable horses, terrains, spells and special abilities. More than 40 players can join the fun.
THE TIME: Date of the first running is TBA. The game will played over the course of a single evening. It is a high action, intense module. All players will start at level 1-3 and will have subrace options, plus a choice of starting equipment. A training session will be available to get used to the controls and experience the game.
CAN I PLAY?: Absolutely. The game is easy to pick up and understand, light in time commitments and adheres as closely as possible to 3.5 rules.
It accommodates most play styles, whether you :
1) just want to form an adventuring group and loot dungeons
2) want to run the army or command a group of NPC soldiers
3) want to craft and explore the far reaches of the world
4) want a mix of all three
Top players will be given the command tools for one of the four factions: Dwarves, Drow, Unclean Hordes (think goblins and orcs), or the Undead Necromancers and will be responsible for motivating their team as the Team Leader.
Got a guild that would be interested? Sign the whole thing up to a single faction, play an entire group with your friends and your beck and call. You'll be welcome to use the chat interface or add in Skype to make it easier to run.
Are newbs welcome? I want to play but I'm no good... Of course you're welcome! All comers are welcome. If you've never even heard of D&D, you're still welcome to play. NWN is easy to pick up and easy to play. There'll be a training game specifically to help show you the ropes.
I'm super pro, can I play? Absolutely. I look forward to annihilating you in open combat, Mr. Pro!
This setting sounds silly! Naturally! The purpose of this game taking a break from our intensive, deeply planned roleplay sessions for a bit of good old fashioned fun.
