[QUOTE="crazy_cat, post: 3310020, member: 30061"] I couldn't tell you how long it takes to prep a NWN2 adventure session as I played the game for about 3 hours in total before giving up on it since it is a huge step backwards IMHO from what NWN was. For NWN I know prep depends on what you want - we played in a sandbox type world - lots of areas and scenery - lots of NPCs and monsters designed - but no scripts and pre placed plots, and preparation whilst it took a while initially then allowed for pretty open ended play within the created areas. All NPCs were posessed and played live by the DM, and if the DM needed to slow us down whilst moving ahead to set up an area then after a quick tell one of the PCs would normally cover for him/her with a bit of inane RP based chat to keep us all occupied (be it Snakes illiterate PC trying to read a roadsign, Lances Swashbuckler posing and modelling his newest rapier, Orbs mage bemoaning our lack of fine provisions or my moody brawler practising his swordplay) I suppose its horses for courses really - I loved NWN, I dislike NWN2 and I've no interest in trying VTT play as I've got NWN to fall back on if PC based gaming becomes necessary.
