hello I am one of the organizers for NWCon4 and wanted to make a personal invite baldur's gate the sword coast chronicles to join us for NWCon a online NWN convention with a showcase or a adventure to new players at your server please. you can find more info for NWCon4 at www.NWCon4.info being held over at www.neverwinterconnections.com where the forums within youll also find folks that will also help you with any NWCon questions if I miss any questions here at your forum. But I will return to check! More then ever before the need for NWN2 to band together as a community is right now! NWCon4 already has a great amount of NWN1 games and it is up to you to help represent NWN2. This is not a NWN1 VS 2 contest. It is for us to build the bridge as a community to connect us together for the NWN games we digg. Showcase your talents to those seeking to find something new. Scripting , building , custom content or a Dungeon Master adventure. I regret not coming here sooner to inform you of NWCon for it starts 5 days from now on the 26 , 27 ,28 of September. If you as a team wish to take part, plan out what you wish to showcase and schedule a session at www.neverwinterconnections.com then add into the title of your event "NWCon4" (name of event) and I will list it along with the other NWCon4 events. I hope to see BG:tscc take part. thank you |

Is this for real? Are thsi guys credentials real? If this is legit we could seriousl hit the big effin leagues.
If this is real Josh we do not want to pass this up!
If we can find out as much as possible as little a time, and if this is real I volunteer for the show and tell team, I am mainly volunteering based off the glowing reviews players have given me about my events and that is what I volunteer to show case.

Well I know the Con is coming as I have seen things up on the vault.. and we are one of the top rated gameworlds out there right now.. wouldnt surprise me if this is legit. Depending on what they want to showcase, I can do some tours or what not... but my schedule for the week is sparatic at best so I dont know what I could do. If they want an event run.. Im sure I could think of something to do.
Or Wiz can also do it.. I havent really sat in on his events, but he has become more active than I in game since I have become busy... so he is in better shape for the events then me.
Legit or not, we could take this oppertunity to expand!

Thank you for the invite we will surely be there. I have been wondering about this for a while but couldn't find more than a mention on the Vault. (I was one of the ones who voted "need more info")  We will start working on this today. Thanks. |

No no you didn't miss anything of mine. I actually did a poor job of following up after seeing the Poll on the Vault.
We can do....
Exterior Area Building Class on any scale, beginner to advanced.
DM seminars on how to wing an event without any pre-made stories attached. Or vice-a-versa.
A full walk through of the current PW with an OOC tour.
I took a peak at the schedule on my lunch break and it looks pretty full. Can you give some suggestions for ideal time slots? Also more detail on what we will need to do the things mentioned above as well.
Thanks

Pick what ever time slots are best for yourself. NWC has a good set up with registered members that displayes the time you set your session for in the players time zone.
(example) if you live in GMT time and schedule something for 3PM when I go to the Scheduled page you created I will see the game starts at 9am CST my time zone. and if im free and wanting to game at that time I click a join up lick that will list me on the page as wanting to game with you when your session starts
Just provide good info that new players will need to get to your server. I can not promise no one what the turn out of players will be but I have a feeling many like myself will be eager to explore many as possible. myself for example big Forgotten Realms fan so im eager to see your world here as well im confident others will be.

I am a member of NWconnections myself and not only is this a real event but it is a great way to get the word out about the server and all the fine RPers here.
I hope you do have an entry and I would take part for sure if asked to...
It's funny cause I just posted a thought on Baldur's Gate getting hooked into the Connection!
Hope the Gate team does well, Val32

I say join in on it.. looks like an amazing oppertunity to get in on some massive action and do all sorts of things.. let alone boost the player base. Though one thing I want to know if possible since I didnt see much on the sign up sheet already.. What other worlds have been invited into the Con this year? Sundren? Shore of Haldun? Talernon? Abyssa? It would be nice to know what we are up against or who is coming out to this thing Thanks for the invite Skunk JLF and Wiz.. I work Friday morning and Saturday night so if you pick either of those days, let me know and Ill see what I can put into things.. Wiz could run an event, I could give a tour or talk about on the fly DMing and Jlf, you could go over area design.... *shrugs* Just a though to maxamize things. -Ice |

No offense taken, Ice.  I'm far too busy to be offended right now. I have been ***** deep in the development of Beta 6 material. Trying to get the finishing touches put in before I go in for surgery on Thursday morning.  As far as my thoughts/feelings on showcase content for NWNC - I really have none at this time, unfortunately. But I am all in for helping the team realize any goals that we may come up with for this event.  Hit me up with any requests for script/mechanics support before my meds kick in.  The sooner the better - as I am sure you all agree. -OT |

Ok here is what I am thinking. Feel free to add any suggestions.
DM's Ice and Wiz. Can you guys visit the NWNcon site and set up DM events? Maybe one guy take Saturday and one Sunday if its possible? Unless there is a low turn out please limit the participants to NWNcon4 visitors. (Feel free to recruit other DMs to help you.) I want to limit it to two events though. Lets don't try to over run it.
DM's Zealote, MDwagner, and Secretmask if you guys are interested I would like for a few of the DMs to set up a tour of the PW. Not so much a quest but more of a OOC tour of the PW and what we are about. I think this will be as important as anything we do.
I am going to try to host an area design class if things go well this week. Really though it will depend on how things go with the new server and Beta 6 which is running a little behind schedule already.
We really need to take full advantage of this though. This will be a great opportunity for us to pull people over from NWN and show them how far along the NWN2 PW scene has come.

I have a suggestion for Zealote and Wagner, if you do want to give the tour, have he information on each area your going to visit, especially any FR lore history ready to present. We need to demonstrate our knowledge, knowledge is power lets show them how much we have. Edit-Im probably working sunday so I'll shoot for an event saturday. I'm going to spend alot of time on the client looking through everything in the toolset and seeing what we have. Also, i know we arnt suppose to use them but for now I at least for my event and Ice's event we should be allowed to use the placable effects, after all we are trying to knock peoples socks off yes? VFXs are alright, but for this I think we need something with alittle more flare. |
