Just discovered a link to this after seeing your image for a half-giant posted on Facebook. Its really impressive work, and I hope to see the project succeed. Its definitely an under-used and under-appreciated D&D campaign setting. All the best for the future of Dark Sun!

Hi we've produced a fresh promotional 'Slate' for our D&D online server. It can be found here. If anyone has any question about us, or more broadly the Neverwinter Nights community in general I can gladly answer them in this thread!

Hi everyone, I'm the owner/admin of the leading Neverwinter Nights 'Arelith' server. As some of you might be aware an Enhanced Edition of this game was released earlier in the year, and with it many community servers like my own migrated to the new game. My own background is in traditional P&P...

It has always seemed to me that at least in the Forgotten Realms setting Half-Orc is a really common race, and certainly not exotic. Given their numbers, how one generally encounters them eveywhere coupledwith the low lifespan, the whole 'orc raider with human woman' doesn't seem to fit the...

Yes, and its also true that many players retain their characters between different DMS, and even different groups. Some will even return to their character in the advanced timeline.

This may seem like a question with an obvious answer, so I'll do my best to explain. Are half-orcs individuals with a parent from each respective race? Or they a human subrace which carries visible traces of orcish blood (in that they have bred over generations) I'm asking chiefly in regard to...

Yes, I'm probably showing my age there! There is one significant advantage of a home-brew setting that didn't occur to me last night, and that is the potential for the party to live through/take part in historic & world changing events. I don't know about other DMs but when playing in an...

I'm glad that they're releasing a 4e at all. As the range of Warhammer products grew I got the impression that the RPG became a lot less of a priority for them. Nice to hear it will be closer to 2nd edition though.

I recall my old group (back when I was a teenager) would refer to the Warhammer RPG group as the 'bible' and it really was a prized possession. I still love this game, not least for all the fond memories I have of it. Even after all these years I recall so very much of the content. In the...

I've been an elite fan for years. I played the original back in the 80s and play Elite Dangerous today. Though saying that the notion of an RPG doesn't really appeal to me. Elite Dangeous is an unusual computer game in that it includes a ton of text. They make huge efforts to give the setting...

I dont think Planescape every got the success it deservered, of that generation of PC RPGs it really stood out. The writing and story are exceptional, in my option far surpassing the more popular Baldur's Gate. If anyone hasn't played this game I'd strongly advise it, especially if they have a...

There are plenty of RPer who are obsessively fascinating by the setting; those who aren't interested in DMing but nevertheless devour any and all source books. There are also those whose raison d'etre to the world RPGs comes due to a love of a particular world. I suspect over the years many of...

Hi, it may not be what you're looking for, but I own/run 'Arelith' It's the number 1 'Neverwinter Nights' D&D server using a modified 3rd addition ruleset. We really try to appeal to tabletop players that can't get round a table, and have players throughout the world. It's all community based...
