  Good thoughts. Alas, I already posted the backstories and I'm already in-game with them.

  Greetings and welcome to Narfell…. As a pnp player of over 20 years, and a Narfell'er of just over a month or two, let me say you have made a great choice with both systems! I have had nothing but fun with both for all that time! Hope to see you IG and have some good times!

  A little bit of history from the wiki: @b4035d7e2d: In 1098 DR the Barbarians from the south, seeking to plunder the wealth of Peltarch, began full assaults against the city walls. Both guilds, being more apt to fight at sea then at land, became little more than bit players in the conflict. Up until this point, defense of the city had been mostly private individuals and groups with a vested interest in protecting their products. The Senate, realizing that a catastrophe was in the making, passed the Guardian and Defenders Act in an emergency session. The bill created two branches of the military, the Guard for threats at home and the Defenders for threats from abroad. The private town militia was quickly drafted into the new governmental organizations and set to the task of turning back the barbarian threat, the final blow coming at the Battle of Nars Pass. After the battle, the city of Peltarch was faced with the moral dilemma of an overwhelming number of Prisoners of War captured during the battle. The barbarians had abandoned their disgraced comrades and refused to negotiate for their freedom. The Senate was reticent to free the men for fear they would simply regroup with their tribes to attack again. The Guildmaster of the Seafarer's at that time, Ruith "Red Blood" Snydders, convinced the Senate to grant him possession of the prisoners and dispense them as slaves. Washing their hands of the whole affair, the Senate granted Snydders request, in essence condoning the slave trade in Peltarch. Snydders took several of the more brutal and loyal men and used them as his own personal bodyguard. The rest he sold into slavery to the town of Hoarsgate and some whispered rumors that some slaves were even sold to the Giants of the Giantspires. The Seafarers, having tapped into a lucrative monopoly in human chattel, refused to stop with the sale of the prisoners, and began the dirty business of buying and selling. While many in the city opposed slaving, foremost the Wavebreakers, it was over a hundred years until the practice could be stopped due to the Seafarer's immense influence on the Senate. That ancient history but it does go some way toward explaining the fate of the barbaric Nars tribes.

  the elf/dwarf antagonism in Tolkien was very specific and was caused by one series of occurances. Dwarves put Silmaril into necklace for an Elf king, then get greedy and demand necklace as payment. Elf king says no and mocks the dwarves who then get mad and kill said king Elves get mad and kill most of the dwarven party A few escape and tell their kinsman of the elves actions (from thier own skewed viewpoint) Dwarven army marches on the elf kingdom and basically destroys it, taking the necklace back. Dwarven army is ambushed by an elf force on the way back and destroyed to a man, elves reclaim necklace. Both races lived a long time (tolkien elves in fact being immortal as far as not dying of old age goes) and both races held the grudge for the several hundred years seperating the events in the first age and the imprisonment of Thoriin and Co. However their were cases of very good relations between elves and dwarves. A prime one was the elven smiths who eventually forged the rings of power had a kingdom bordering Moria, and the elves and dwarves of the two places had a very cordial relationship. There was also the main creator (thier big god Ilvutar i think) who when he took pity on the smith god's creation of Dwarves and allowed them to live, did say to him that since the smith god went behind his back basically (or tried to) that their would be conflict between the children he himself created and his "adopted children" so to speak. The main tolkien book that would give you a good idea of the dwarf mindset is the Hobbit. If you are looking for elven inspiration then definately read the Silmarillion. Any fiction you read at all is likely to at least give you some inspiration for character personalities. One of my favorite books and a great source of inspiration and material if you think about running a samuari type character would be Shogun. It's historical fiction set in Feudal Japan and chock full of information

  Also note that by the D&D rules, Krenshar are Magical Beasts with a Neutral alignment, and Monstrous Spiders are Vermin with a Neutral alignment. Dunno what they're set to in Narfell.

  Arcane Casters This is the original notice for Arcane Casters: http://www.narfell.us/modules.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&t=40565&highlight=pen+paper+spells, There doesn't appear to be a specific DM in charge of this any more, but I imagine that you should be able to do it through Spellweaver or Cerulean Knights who're likely to have access to scrolls for scribing. Divine Casters And for Divine Casters: Your character pray to receive spells from their deity. They can do this once ever 30 minutes in game, or 10 minutes after a failed rest attempt. In addition to the spells available in game, divine casters may cast from a wide selection of Pen and Paper spells. Narfell is technically 3.0, though 3.5 spells are allowed for enchantment purposes and may or may not be allowed to be used otherwise. You can NOT suddenly say, “I’m going to cast this Cure Light Wounds to represent Speak with Animals.” You must have prayed for the spell. You can tell the DM before you rest that you want to pray for Speak with Animals.. It’s advised that you represent it with a spell you wouldn’t otherwise use. Eg message the DM channel to say, “My character would like to pray for Speak with Animals. I intend to use Entangle to represent this. Is this okay?” If allowed, when you want to cast Speak with Animals, ‘burn’ Entangle by casting it where it will have no effect. Note this in talk channel ((burning for Speak with Animals)). Whenever you intend to use a PnP spell make sure that you can supply the DM with the full description on request. Just because one DM has allowed a specific PnP spell on one occasion does not mean that another DM will, or that the same DM will on a different occasion.

  Here it's much more organic. And I apologize if the rest of my post sounds didactic, but I'm just loading up the shotgun and seeing what sticks. When we "roleplay" it's not just about playing a game character, killing the whatzit, and getting the dingus so you can get more whatzits and dinguses. Just treat your character as a living, breathing creature, and ask yourself what this creature would do in a given situation. Which isn't to say that we don't occasionally storm the battlements of our enemies, but it happens as a function of the RP. Adventures adventure, but it's usually to make money without another reason. Sometimes an "event" comes up where a reason is presented along with a goal, and they are usually overseen by DMs, but sometimes we'll just goal. The point is that in either case it remains an "In-Character" decision to do so. Treat your character like a living person, asking yourself what they'd do in a given situation, rather than treating them like an avatar of your own fervent desire to maim and kill in the name of glory and XPs. That's the key difference between "Roleplaying" and "Roll-playing." Which is not to say we don't care about numbers. We do. We just care less about them than we do about our characterizations. Narfell is challenging, and survival is not guaranteed. Me, I like to craft a backstory and a reason for each character doing what they do and being what they are. It helps me figure out their motivations and to what causes they would lend themselves to.

  It's worth mentioning that if you go with NWN Engine's recommended ability score allotment (for humans at least) it will allocate a Dex score of 9. That means a -1 modifier to your AC at all times in addition to any of the expected modifications (ranged AB, reflex, dex-based skills). I've seen a number of paladins take the 9 Dex then wonder why their AC is so low.
