Oh gods, what did I get myself into?


  • Thank you for posting that. I've been flipping through profiles getting a feel for how other people have put their characters together, and I wasn't sure if I should post mine in there first.

    By writing your character's background story you can get some XP that will help you lots in your early levels.

  • Huzzah! The game works! Putting the finishing touches on my first character now. I knew getting the jump on it would pay off. xD I'll probably end up jumping in at some point within the next couple of days.


  • 😄 Thank you very much! It's nice to finally find a steady storyline with genuinely nice people after such a long time out of practice.

    Oh my… I'll definitely remember that... shifty eyes

    Welcome!! Always nice to see more people around 🙂
    Appart of asking Jerrick, feel free to ask anyone else too when he's not around to help 😜

    ((Except to DM Black Rider, you better don't ask him… he's nuts I've heard..))


  • That sounds like a solid plan to me. Jerrick's been giving me the general rundown of the areas and a feel for how things work, and reading through the wiki's helping a lot. I think I've got a basic idea for a back story and small details to get myself started. Thank you for the advice! I definitely appreciate it.

    GAME. Y U NO INSTALL FASTER? rageface


  • Narfell is a server with a LOT of history.

    The best suggestion I can give to you, is to make a character who was based in another area of Faerun, and have them get off the boat in either Peltarch or Norwick, then play tourist. There's plenty of lovely people who will explain things as you go.


  • Thanks for the warm welcome, everyone. ❤

    I do have a small question, though. I'm working on a character right now so I'm ready to go once I get the game installed (the disc didn't work, but Jerrick's helping me get a copy installed as we speak). I've been flipping through the FAQ, wiki pages and IGN articles on the game, but I can't quite figure out where to even start on this fracking character. The sheer volume of back story and information on this server is making me a wee bit dizzy.

    Welcome to Narfell… my child.... :twisted:


  • I managed to dig up Jerrick's disc and according to a spec check my crappy Dell can handle running it - no harm in trying!

    I've been on several forums, but I've lost contact with all of my regular places over the last year and a half (lots of moves, sickness and general apathy when it comes to being creative with words), so I found myself with nothing to do when I decided to make my comeback. Jerrick showed me his journals here on the forums and I immediately decided to make an account. I'm so excited to get back into the swing of roleplaying, and everyone here seems really knowledgeable and willing to bear with an old-timer. xD


  • Welcome! I started out as a shoulder-lurker myself, though with practically zero actual role-playing experience, then threw myself in off the deep end when I found employment in one town while my "shoulder" remained in another to complete his studies. It didn't take long to be bitten by the bug… 😄
