Greetings and NWN

Hello, fellow Birthright fans!

It’s been a long time since I found out about this place but never registered. I was too deeply entrenched into my 2nd edition-ness and thought this 3.5 thing was straying too far from the original… but then, D&D 3.5 has strayed rather far from it’s 2nd edition and so Birthright had to adapt.

While I realize this now, there are still many things I would have done differently, but I have a lot of respect for the work that was done here, and I noticed parts of the wiki were lacking in information I was able to provide, and so I intend to provide it.

As I said, I am mostly a 2nd edition player, where Birthright is concerned, but I mentioned NWN in the Title of my post, and that is what pushed me to register here.

You see, I am working on a Birthright module for NeverWinter Nights. This will not be a Persistent World but rather a medium for me to DM a campaign set in the Rjurik Highlands. I provided links to the wiki for my players to get information about the setting, as they unfortunately are not familiar with it, and while I’m here I figured I could let you people know about the campaign as well.

For now I have 2 sure players, a 3rd is seriously considering it. I am looking for a few more, so if some of you have NeverWinter Nights (first edition, with the Shadows of Undrentide and Hordes of the Underdark expansions) installed, feel free to have a look.

Fair warning, I handle most mechanics differently than what has been done here, as a matter of personal preference.

Sorry for the wall of text. :wink:

When, where, frequency and what can I play? :slight_smile:

Oh another from Quebec! I’m for that province as well, though not that city.

Let’s see… the When has yet to be determined. It will likely be either in the evening, or in the weekend, or both, judging from past availabilities of the players I got so far.
If you mean when does it start, that is also undetermined. I have a lot of work to do before I’m ready to run my first session, but I also have a lot of free time to spend on it.

The Where is as said above. In the Rjurik Highlands (around the Taelshore, to be a little more specific), through the NeverWinter Nights game.

You can play a human of any culture, a halfling, an elf, half-elf, or dwarf. I’m using old-style 2nd ed class restrictions, however. Also, considering where the campaign starts and will be taking place, some race/classes will take more work than others to be approved for play.

All the info is on my forum!

I might be blind but cannot find your forum adress anywhere in your posts;)

Some of the other users did some NWN work a while back,

You are not blind and I am a fool. ^^;

I was sure I put it there, but in fact I put it in my profile. >.>

Thanks for the link, AndrewTail, I wasn’t aware of that!
Well I suspected it, since there’s this guy back in 2002 who made all the scripts and things for having Bloodline Abilities in NWN. Which I’m using for my mod. Anyways, I’ll check it out!

Edit: The thread is over 2000 days old and I can’t reply too it… Talk about an old project!

Bon ben, ajoutez-en un autre!

oh yeah for shure

je suis in moi aussi

Ah des montréalais cette fois-ci, ça se rapproche de chez moi. :stuck_out_tongue:

Translation: Ah montrealers this time, it’s getting closer to my home.

Bien sur, on s’ennuie vite de notre chez nous !! :smiley:

11

For those interested, please register on the above-linked forum.
Sure I might not be ready for a while but most likely after the holidays, I think. The more I learn, the faster I work!
Also, knowing what people want to play will help.
I got an Anuirean fighter and a half elf Rjurik bard so far.

j’adore NWN (la premiere version) et Birthright, of course.

Si tu fais des parties en francais alors là, c’est le pied !
Traduction : Je serais évidemment fortement intéressé

13

Na, désolé les parties sont en anglais.
Je fais ça avec quelques amis anglophones avec qui j’ai joué longtemps a NWN.
Honnêtement je svais même pas qu’il y avait des fans de Birthright francophones. Remarque, chez les anglophones, j’ai rarement connu qui que ce soit qui connait le setting non plus. o_O

So yeah, games in English.

14

qu’entend-je ? :smiley:
La communauté francophone est certes peu nombreuses (et surtout non fédéré) mais elle existe bel et bien. Sisi
Mais j’en reparlerais à la fin de l’année (pas celle-ci qui s’achève mais celle de 2011)

15

At the risk of sounding parochial, can those not communicating in English please provide a translation?

16

The parts that aren’t translated were mostly me saying I wasn’t aware of a french Birthright community and so my campaign is in english with some english-speaking friends, and the other guy saying that there is indeed a french community, though it’s small.

17

So, it seems one of the folks from here who had registered on my nwn game forum has vanished.
I did vanish for 3 weeks myself and make no mistake it -will- happen again.
In any case, I’m bumping this because we seem to be down to 4 players so there’s room for a couple more.

18

still there but with work and the developpement for Birthright Deismaar i don’t go on forum often

19

Try to, otherwise you’ll miss important stuff.
I’m hoping to begin soon, even thoguh we might only be able to get one session in before I vanish again, if even that, but for that to happen, everyone needs to be ready.

i will follow you here
