  Thought I might make a post just to keep folk up to date with what I'm doing. Plotabouts: Currently doing stuff with the spellweenies at Spellweaver. For all those people involved in my you-know-what-plot that may or may not have involved a ring, I've just got a few NPCs to make and things to import regarding it. If you've any stuff you want to research or just any questions go ahead and send me a PM and the same goes for the spellweenies. Howabouts: Considering doing a little something-something for Halloween. No promises! It'd probably be on the weekend before Halloween. Otherabouts: Sorry I haven't been on much this or last week. Feeling a bit tired in general. Might try to do a few little dungeony events soon.

  I'm aware this post is locked… Nevertheless...it is more than a handful to be RPing during an actual combat encounter. Imagine RPing the motions of shooting a bow while facing down an angry bugbear! As DMs we might also have missed the pre-adventure "pep talk" that most PCs do before setting off on a quest (that eats up 30 RL mins... :P) The view expressed at the beginning mostly likely only resonates true for those who have actually indulged it. Still, I prefer to respect the fact that there was a frank exchange of views, and I will do my best to dangle carrots from the stick. P.S. the above are my personal views.

  Just going to resurrect this thread, as I thought it about time it was mentioned again. Narfell is a community. Communities work best when we respect one another. This goes for player to player, player to DM, and DM to player interactions. Please, do not attempt to police other players RP unless you are a DM. If you have an issue with someones RP, please bring it up with a DM. If you have an issue with another player OOC, please either bring it up with the PG team, or with a DM directly if you feel it is necessary.

  I played this level 25 celestial vampire dragon, would be nice if they could help me restore him to my new account =P Thanks rei_jin, after some more forum reading I realised I'm not exactly alone with this issue. It seems very much like I'll just have to pay up those 10$

  It's not the sort of thing that we would do in Narfell without discussion amongst the DM team at the least… alignment points are something that are rarely dropped, and with good reason. The entire alignment system is a can of worms that most people prefer to stay away from. I was merely talking theoretically about the rules behind the game.

  That would be the cows… and likewise Phaedrus, if you have questions on how it works, catch me in game as well (Adriell, or Einrihch)

  Don't quote me on this but I believe the issue with that is that, if you could make creatures which have no combat AI, have correct faction settings, and look like barricades, is they wouldn't effectively block movement in the same way that placeables do. Placeables, on the other hand, can block movement. But faction settings can't be placed on them such that the AI will attack them on sight. I think that the best middle ground, easiest to implement option would be Dermin's suggestion: barricades which are only usable in certain, frequently sieged areas, such as Norwick's gates, where hostile spawns do not appear without DM oversight to make them react appropriately.

  @e4f16b40f7=cardamon: Are you in window mode? Do you want to be in window mode? If you do not want to be in window mode do you want to be in fullscreen mode? Also, please post, in code tags, your entire nwn.ini file Yes, fullscreen mode is what I'm trying to get. Also, where can I find my nwn.ini?

  Forming small parties (six people and under) at least while battlefield settings are on can still be smart for healers to be able to do some easy HP tracking. Large parties are discouraged simply because it does cause extra lag. The server then has to send messages about each person in the party to each person in the party and that quickly compounds in large groups.

  I'm pretty sure that if you merely subdue a PC, its summon does not disappear, but if you kill the PC, then naturally the summon goes away too.

  @c3282cd544=Father: Hrm…is this the guy who wanted me to go to the sex worker convention with him and his lady friend? Still waiting for those tickets buddy. Dude, that was in Montreal, where you only pay cover until you're 14 and then you develop the skills of suavosity. If I can't sneak in, or talk my way in, then I might as well not go. After all, where's the challenge in just PAYING for stuff. Risk = reward, my friend! Addendum - the show wasn't so great, but the company was excellent. Afterwards we went home and watched Zim. Addenum II - I don't know what you're talking about. Sex worker convention? I'd never go to something like that. I'm a middle school teacher, for goodness' sake!

  I'm late to the party, but a character from the days of the Red Army? Good goodness! (and that's all I have to say about that!)

  Besides the official timeline, the behind the scenes timeline was pretty dramatic too. Byzantium had nothing on Narfell. No matter what the politics were though, many wonderful and imaginative hands crafted this fantastic world.

  Most clients work pretty similar and come with their own documentation. Icechat is free and open source. mIRC is nagware and I haven't touched it since the 90's. I don't use either. All you need to know is how to connect to a specific server, in this case irc.darkmyst.org, followed by how to connect to specific channel, in this case #narfell. Almost universally (to the point where I have yet to use one where it is not the case) IRC clients accept command line instructions. So from the little box where you type all the stuff you would if you wanted to talk, enter the following /server irc.darkmyst.org followed by /join #narfell For further instructions, read your own client's documentation. It's useful but not universal. For instance, I can't walk you through a client I don't know's SSL verification process. That one's just too complicated to play by ear. But nickserv verification and ghosting an ident are pretty easy, as that's all server side.

  The other week I was running from back to the gate when some an archer, possessed by a DM, clicked at random. I was invisible. They did not have See Invis. We figured it out and I got a TR. No one threw a chair. It was a good day. The next day, another attack. I got shot while invis some more, and got sent a friendly explanation before I could even muster a response. "They cast See Invis." No chairs were thrown, but someone did get a face full of Troll. The good kind. I've been killed. Click killed. Avatar sneak attacked. Raped by possessed hostile NPCs when the DM crashed during negotiations. Drowned over a cognitive dissonance over exactly what the difference between Drown and Drown was. Mildly annoyed by non hostile faction NPCs attacking me that we beat anyway (I hit Arlan by mistake…oh wait, my AB's so low no I didn't). Had my familiars clicked killed a LOT. Really, every time that happens I can lose more XP than I get in most days, plus the 200 gold when I resummon the thing. I've even had a MINUS 5000GP token dropped on me instead of a 5000GP token. How do I deal with that? I talk to them. "Did you mean to <schmoo>, because I had <blah>?" Sometimes I get a no. Sometimes I get a yes. Getting a response at all smoothes over most problems.</blah></schmoo>
