Campaign Spotlight: Heartstone Saga

Venture — Sun, 19 Oct 2008 21:39:54 -0400

We have another Campaign Spotlight to present. This Spotlight takes a look at the Heartstone Saga, by Greywolf McGrowler. The Heartstone Saga is a NWN campaign set in the Forgotten Realms, and features an epic story arc. The origins of the campaign are particularly interesting, reaching back to a multi-server Everquest project involving several guilds. Read on for the full interview, which includes information on how to find the campaign. The campaign does currently have an opening for one more player.

Campaign Spotlight: Heartstone Saga

Thanks to Greywolf McGrowler for answering questions about the campaign!

What is the inspiration for the development of your campaign?

That kinda requires a long answer, but it all started about 10 years ago when Everquest first came out. There was a group of people of about 12 or so that wanted to start some player made quests that were made by players for the players. The project was called the Heartstone Saga. We had our own website and a few sponsors that backed the project. It involved at least a few guilds, spanned a few servers, and included lots of stories and quests that were put together by those that were involved in the Heartstone project.

Campaign Spotlight: Urk's Greyhawk

Venture — Sat, 20 Sep 2008 21:38:06 -0400

We're pleased to feature our very first Campaign Spotlight. A Campaign Spotlight is a feature we hope to post on a fairly regular basis, and entails an in-depth look at a NWN or NWN2 campaign. The idea is to "show off" a NWN or NWN2 campaign, not only to give some campaigns a bit of exposure, but also to highlight just how fun campaign play can be.

The debut spotlight takes a look at Urk's Greyhawk, a NWN campaign set in the Greyhawk campaign setting, which is a setting with which long-time D&D players will be familiar. Urk is an "old-timer" with some great insights on NWN, modding, and campaign play, and the interview makes for a very interesting read. And did I mention that there are currently a few openings in the campaign? Read on for the interview, which includes information on how to find his games.

The DMFI - campaign essentials

Venture — Tue, 26 Aug 2008 23:44:18 -0400

Some of the most essential assets in running multiplayer campaigns in both NWN and NWN2 come from the DMFI team. What is the DMFI? Carlo from the DMFI team has been nice enough to answer that for us. In Carlo's words:

The DM-Friendly Initiative (DMFI) is devoted to promoting DM-led gaming in Neverwinter Nights (NWN) and its successor Neverwinter Nights 2 (NWN2). Its mission is to:

* Develop DM tools such as the DMFI Wands & Widgets for NWN and the DMFI Tools for NWN2.

* Support DM training. Download DMFI 101:So You Want To Be A DM or DM 101 for NWN2 and participate in DMFI forum discussions on DMing.

* Encourage DM-friendly module design by reviewing and certifying both NWN modules and NWN2 modules on Neverwinter Vault.

* Share resources via the DMFI website.

The DMFI is pleased to support the NWN Campaigns site. Look for related posts in the Tools, tips, tutorials, and training Forum, and other forums.

Thanks Carlo!
