    Name: Zangeen

    Skills: Basic knowledge of Aurora toolset for map, item, and monster creation. Forum moderator. Grammar Nazi.

    Availability: Not as much as I’d like, but I’ll squeeze in time as needed.

    Past: Current Player Guide. Helped recreate HDL and Norwick Militia guild items to meet enchanting rules, and a few other custom loot items.

    Bonus: What features/aspects from another NWN server do you wish Narfell had?

    Jerrick, correct me if I’m wrong here. Also on Amia, you were given 2 customizable spells that, upon dev/DM team approval, they would code to act as PnP spells. These showed on the spell list during level up to be selected instead of spells from the standard NWN list. I may have to dig in their forums to verify this, but it’d be neat to have the option of using PnP spells that your character would want regularly without having to get DM approval for each use (coughTeleportcough).

    Yes, I'm pretty sure that's the case. There's a suggestion in the wishlist about the teleport idea. If such a thing is possible, other such coding might too … but we need MOAR DEVS to even consider a vote on this kind of stuff, cause we can't just dump more stuff on Dora.

    Update posted.

    Specific need: Somebody with experience in the STEAM Community area.
    Submitting downloads, etc.

    I have been playing around with the Steam Groups thingy… and a few other community feature... just try to to see what's useful and what's not... I'll let you know more as I play around. I have a private test group running now. If you would like to check it out send me a friend request on Steam @ RedneckDMNC and I'll send an invite.

    @318a2a7408=Rangy:

    some of you are probably running around with my event loot.

    I think Faelar has a few Wolferific items of your making.

    Edited My Skills and availability

    Name: RW, Arrdubs, Rangy Wulf, Chick with the pink hair works too…

    Skills: DM, Facebook Groups administration, Forum Administration. My coding skills are a bit rusty, but I can help facilitate moving the forums to a better and more updated platform. I'm an ideas person.

    Availability: Being disabled and working for yourself gives you a lot of free time. lol

    Past: DM, Narfell Forum administrator. Hosted the Narfell server for awhile and handled all back end server issues. Was a Narf Developer for a time as well. I created a few maps here and there, some NPC's and of course some of you are probably running around with my event loot.

    Bonus: What features/aspects from another NWN server do you wish Narfell had? There are other servers besides Narfell? That's blasphemy...

  • I

    Name:Irishrover13/Aniril Thiend in game

    Skills: Forum Moderation, education and storytelling, DMing and a long time ago a little level design but I have forgotten everything.

    Availability:I can likely offer about 5+ hours a week depending on what you want me to do.

    Past: I use to play a lot on Tales of Silver Marches and designed and lead several player based side missions. I have also designed different player forms and handled a lot of different requests on the forms as a moderator.

    Bonus: I am stealing Marrows answer because I agree “Maybe CEP. Though used sparingly. Mostly just for placeables,outfits, heads and a better system for customizing outfits.” I also like more weapon options and additional monsters.

  • Name: Karion_Silverbow (forums and Discord) RedneckDM (IG)

    Skills: don't really have any but I can do script-less map and equipment design in the toolset

    Availability: My time is all over the place due to owning and operating my own business but I can probably average 10 hours a week even though that may cut into my play time

    Past: I was a moderator in the Wolves of Narfell forum for a while. I have created a website with Wordpress for my Entropia Universe account. I currently have several Facebook groups that I "own" and moderate.

    Bonus: What features/aspects from another NWN server do you wish Narfell had?

    There's other servers besides Narfell? The hells you say! Blasphemy!

    Seriously though, what few servers I tried either required hak packs or were complete crap. Even though it was said that in EE any required hak packs would download automatically. I have found this to be false. If that were indeed the case I wouldn't mind seeing what they were about as I would love to have more cosmetic options for characters such as wide brim hats and… well i can't think of anything else.

    One thing I would like is an override pack in the Steam Workshop that contains all of the overrides used in Narfell. That way we don't have to worry about dead links and having to manually move them to the new folder. The subscription deal works well as I have subscribed to a few overrides already. There are still some combat animation overrides and such that are still unavailable in the workshop. I'm not even sure it's possible but it would be nice none-the-less.

    Skills: Map building/editing and making items/armours.

    Availability: I have quite a bit of free time at the moment, so I can dedicate time.

    Past: I've built a lot of personal areas for events that I've run for friends as well as just while i'm bored.

    Bonus: Maybe CEP. Though used sparingly. Mostly just for placeables,outfits, heads and a better system for customizing outfits.

    Name: Felemnar on forums, Dwyne in discord

    Skills: I am a programmer and learned NWN scripting and the DB interface when the game and mods were first released.

    Availability: Limited.

    Past: Professional programmer since 1989. CTO/CIO of several successful Internet-based startups. From 2004-2015 worked in video game industry, including credits on Madden 2005-2007, Psychonauts, Nacho Libre, Medal of Honor, Guitar Hero 3+ and Band Hero (several lead programmer roles).

    Bonus: I think we could be creative in helping improve the world without adding a bunch of effort (training people/etc) to Dora's plate. I suspect it is more time and cost-effective to raise funds to support the site and server rather than adding personnel who require management.

    Bonus: What features/aspects from another NWN server do you wish Narfell had?
    I've tried a few other servers but never really liked them as much as Narfell. I do wish the new lobby was a bit more streamlined:
    1. Was more step by step instead of everyone in a circle
    2. The point of talking to each person was clearer
    3. Deities had short blurbs IG so you don't have to tab out of the game to track down information

    Availability: Free time for spare projects every day

    Past: Current moderator of Narfell Facebook page, current Head/Lead Player Guide

    Bonus: What features/aspects from another NWN server do you wish Narfell had?

    In Amia, they had area scripts which could fire to spawn monster encounters worth XP for surviving/completing, had a very basic loot table for, and would occasionally drop a miniboss/buffed mob. They seemed to be level specific. These would be great in some areas, barring exploit.
