NWN2: Shaper of Dreams
A module for NWN2, “The shaper of dreams”, a game in six chapters, seeming written in German and translated, or at least the first three chapters have been. Here are my notes. … Continue reading “NWN2: Shaper of Dreams”
NWN2 Monks
I started a new game, and am running a Monk, because the game, called “Bad Habits” is made for one. Here are my notes … Continue reading “NWN2 Monks”
NWN2 and W10 (2020)
I have a new windows laptop and need to bring my NWN2 game forward from the old machine; both are windows 10, although the new one is 64 bit. I wanted to economise the build’s storage space this time and had to overcome what looks like a 32/64 bit pragma problem; here is what I did. Continue reading “NWN2 and W10 (2020)”
NWN2 important buttons
I have written about hacking NWN2 in a couple of places on this wiki. This note gathers them together and documents quick save and print screen, and now the following controls. Enjoy! Continue reading “NWN2 important buttons”
A persistent world
Can I make and use an NWN virtual world a.k.a. persitant world as a conference feature on one of the cloud providers? It’d be fun. I probably should check client licencing to see if it’s worth it because the client software isn’t small; maybe I could RDP onto it. Anywhere, here are my notes. Continue reading “A persistent world”
Hero Wars
Originally attracted by the dungeon puzzles, I became hooked. A fantasy setting … complex character management mechanics. Here are my links & notes … Continue reading “Hero Wars”
Class Wargames & the ECW
I have been/am still reading Richard Barbrook’s book, “Class Wargames”. Among its many fascinating themes is his study of the collapse of democratic military forces into dictatorship.He name checks Napoleon, Toussaint Louverture & the Russian Revolution. I wonder why he didn’t start earlier with the English Civil War, it would seem to me to be another failure of a democratic military. To him, Guy Debord’s “Game of War” is critically important, partly because of the way it abstracts large elements of military conflict, but they adopted different rules, using miniatures for both the Haitian and Russian Civil War scenarios. How easy would it be to find or adapt some ECW rules? Here are my notes … Continue reading “Class Wargames & the ECW”
Baldurdash 301
This was the original and first unofficial fixpack for the Baldur’s Gate family of games. I refer to it in this wiki on a couple of my BG2 articles. It has now moved and can be found at Gibberlings 3 and has been renamed “fixpack”. The old site is available at the wayback machine.
NWN2: the Harp & the Chrysanthemum
I decided to play this. I downloaded it from its home page but the game has been updated. Here are my notes, which talks a bit about version control but also includes some hints. For more, including the play hints, see below/overleaf. Continue reading “NWN2: the Harp & the Chrysanthemum”
D&D Miniatures
Having cleared out nearly all my miniature models from Dungeons and Dragons & Warhammer, I was wondering about replacing some of them. Where to buy them and how to get them painted. Here are my notes. Continue reading “D&D Miniatures”
More on classes in D+D
For some reason I looked at the video below/overleaf on Youtube, it’s about D&D character classes and multi-classing and this is my response. Not sure how useful it is as most of the words relate to rules no longer used. I conclude with the words, “in summary, if playing in a balanced party, given the current (v5e) broad choice of initial classes, their enhancement via prestige classes, the nature of the XP scale (it’s no longer exponential), power games should stick to pure classes, and real power players will play human wizards.” Continue reading “More on classes in D+D”
Dungeons & Dragons
I bought Ben a copy of the AD&D 5e Starter Pack for Xmas, let’s hope he reciprocates by asking me to join in, although how to do that while’s he’s abroad might be fun … need to check out NWN worlds. Here are some notes …. Continue reading “Dungeons & Dragons”
NWN2, Mask of the Betrayer
I have been playing this for a while. Not seen a need to make notes until today. I am as ever using the walkthrough at Gamebanshee. Continue reading “NWN2, Mask of the Betrayer”
Elanee
Here are my notes on Elanee, one of the protagonist’s companions in NWN2. This is what the NWN2 wiki has to say. It contains advice on the build, highlighting certain spells and critically feats; as ever it includes a story summary and details, sadly deleted content. Continue reading “Elanee”
