I got Neverwinter Nights 2 for Xmas.
For those not in the know, NWN is a computer game based on D&D that allows one person to create a setting and host it for others to play in. There are lots of these “modules” hosted all over the world, some as continuous worlds and some as sessions. It also has a single-player adventure mode with a built-in scenario, and more scenarios can be downloaded off the web.
I don’t have a PC suitable for running it yet, but when I do I’m considering hosting a server and running a campaign of play sessions for NZ players (or anyone else who can connect without too much lag). If I go ahead, I’d run it much the same as I would a larp. Lots of players in various roles (not just a party of adventurers), fully in character. I’m guessing each session would last a few hours and there would be a session every few weeks.
I’d probably use an original setting, I’m not very familiar with the Forgotten Realms or whatever it is. I’d build my own modules.
Anyone got NWN2 or looking at getting it, who might be interested in playing in a campaign?
