NWN PvP mod

[ThriKreen]

Wow, I just took part in this way cool PvP mod for NWN called The Light Reborn - Rescue (http://nwvault.ign.com/Files/modules/data/1083343891000.shtml).

The goal is that you have 1/3 of the players be on the evil team and keep a certain prisoner captive. The other 2/3rds are good, and of course, have to rescue her. It's nifty because you have unbalanced teams (evil is at level 5 to good's level 3), and all sorts of neat role-playing events like personal hidden agendas which are randomly handed out and of course, your usual teamwork coordination. No DM required either.

In the game I played, I was a kobold lackey so I was always following the boss around being your typical underling and constantly mocking the other team, when behind my boss, but when alone, I'd turn into a snivelling coward. Even kept referring to our third player, who was a female halforc, as a guy.

I'm in the process of uploading the nwserver to GH for some NeverWinter Connection (http://www.neverwinterconnections.com/) games, so if people are up for it, we can see about putting a group together for this mod and get some people accustomed to MP NWN.

Oh, only requires NWN - SoU and HotU not necessary, but would be nice for voicesets and such. No other haks required either.

First run through we can show people the map - unfortunately I only really know what to do on the Dark side, haven't played light yet.

were you lagging in your dream? :P

[blue]

eh? we haven't any issues with lag on our server yet (laughing skulls).

generally i sit at 100ms ping. :)

[Nub-Shtrike]

i lol'd at ds91s comment. i rarely do that but it seemed funny.

[ThriKreen]

Back on track...

Also there are some areas designated as no-PvP zones, so the purpose is to try to fulfill some of your hidden agenda stuff by attempting to role-play them out (sell out your team, mock them, etc.)

lol ok, thri, I'm sold already. Gimme the date / time .. actually .. I'm going to find a game :)

[ThriKreen]

This thursday night? I have some things to finish between now and then, but I know thurs night I'm free.
Oh what the hell - date set for December 9, 2004 at 9pm EST, game usually lasts about 1-3hrs depending on how fast either side completes their objective first. So it's a good game to run through since it doesn't require weekly commitments that a longer campaign needs.

We have Spurty, canon and myself interested, we need to get at least 5 or 6 more to get a good balance. I can probably find some on NWC's IRC server for a quick pickup game... I should set up a schedule on the NWC connections website though.

yeah, I'll put it in my diary .. now just so you know, Tuesday nights are the best for me as I work from home on Wednesdays and get an extra hour in bed (commute time)

[ThriKreen]

Yeah, but it was rather short notice for Tues night - OK, we'll do a brief run thru the mod on Thurs night so we can figure out what to do and have another game on Tues nights, providing we can get enough people.
