Hello all.Hi, I just finished playing your Demo from the Vault and wanted to visit your blog. Imagine my surprise when I found out you're trying to set up a PW! Great. I have played in a couple of PWs in the past, Undermountain and Shadowrealm. I look forward to trying out yours. I see you've asked for some help, and I would be willing to provide what help I can. I usually have time, but unfortuneately I have very little skill with the Toolset. I have dabbled with it, looking at other peoples work, making small changes, adding NPCs for my own amusement, but nothing major. Let me know if I can help.BTW, is the demo you put on the Vault a demo of your PW, or do you intend to put out an adventure mod? I certainly hope it will be a mod, since that is my first love. |

LOL I'm so glad the module pulled you into this opportunity. It was the main objective to the reason why I posted it. I feel like a little girl on christmas morning, opening the first present. Realizing that it is exactly what, I wanted! But enough drama, lets get you, your answers.
The module I posted, "Guardians of Rhydin" will be a fully featured length module when it's completed. I've gotten so much support through the words and suggestions from many community members. I'd be stupid, not to follow through with it. Will the module be a demo for the PW? I'd like to hope so. Yes the module is based off one story in particular, but the setting of course will be "Rhydin." So playing the module will help them get a better understanding on how the world works. Who the most influencial characters are, what their purpose is, and why they do what they do in the PW. So to answer your questions simply, Yes, and Yes! lol.
Thats alright, I'm not expecting wizards and gurus to join a team in cause that isn't very popular yet. You mentioned that you have tinkered with NPCs? Well, that is one position for the team I could give to you. Until you become more familar with the toolset. You see, I too love creating characters but if its just me doing it.. Then all the npcs will follow the same brain wave... Which is one thing I dont want to do. I want diverse characters, so in order to do that I need different prospectives from artists like yourself. So if you'd like, start making characters. Design thier looks, personality, behaviors... everything you need to make that character unique. As far as dialoge goes, stay free form. Don't worry if it doesn't connect directly to "Rhydin history" becuase honestly, the history hasn't been set yet. And its open to various forms of interpretation. Feel free to post screenshots of your characters here in the Gallery section of these forums. Also don't be afraid to ask for help if you get writer's block, or having an issue with the toolset. I check these forums on an hourly basis so I will respond relatively quick. I'm also on MSN messenger, my handle is WPC4ever@hotmail.com. So if you want to chat live with me, that would be the best venue. |

I can create a couple of characters for you to look over, to start. That way you can let me know if that is what you're looking for. I figure making characters via the toolset is pretty simple, so I might go ahead and do a write up first and submit that to you. As far as conversation, I can do some of that but in what vein? Just some casual chit chat to start? I guess once I have a few NPCs created you can give me some insights into what you want them to talk about.
I have toyed with making some areas with the thought of doing a mod myself, but I just don't have the time to do justice to a mod on the scale of the demo you put out, so I have been putting it off. The point is, I'll keep playing around with the toolset and maybe I'll get good enough that you can expand upon my skills, but let's start small for now. I'll get you a few writeups of NPCs this week and see what you think. If they are not along the lines you're looking for, please feel free to let me know, I can take criticism very well, you won't insult me. I have a couple of hours a day I can devote to this kind of thing. Some of it is at my computer at home where I have acces to the toolset, some is at work where I have computer access and internet access but not toolset access, just to let you know where I stand. Ok, I'll get back to you in a few days. John |
