[SIZE=24]Boarding Sought ~ Hlint or Haven[/SIZE][/U]

[SIZE=16]Room sought for smithy laborer. Bathing facilities not necessary, though adequate ventilation recommended.

Storage for raw ore, as well as finished glass and metal works required.

Get word to Dubbel at the Wild Surge in regards to rate and availability.

...a tiny figure darts. Dressed in green, she is surely not a mouse. A small sickle, hardly capable of cutting wheat, is buried beneath a quill of quills on her back. Is that a glint of magical light from a sharp edge there in the corner? No, the glint comes from a flash of smile accompanied by a small clap and giggle. There is a bee buzzing amongst the tombs of the Great Library. What will she discover beneath the dust? Whispers perhaps? Of dragons, she hopes.

General Discussion / Honeybee, daughter of Bumblebee and Daisy
« on: July 01, 2009, 04:17:51 pm »
It's been too long since I rolled up a PC in NWN. Any advice welcome!

What's minimum age for a brownie PC?

Can bards get feats needs to be shadowdancer?

If cleric, what domains? (I imagine her following Bee's lead towards the end of his career and specializing in healing. This is what ultimately caused him to leave the trails for life in the church. Well, that and a gorgeous redhead!)

General Discussion / Rust monsters, are they really necessary?
« on: September 17, 2008, 11:52:01 am »
This will come off as grumbling, which it partly is, but a discussion of the topic in general would be welcome.

Are rust monsters fun in any regard?

Some background:  My PC lost his adamantium greataxe with a 3rd enchant on it to a rust monster on a GM quest.  On another GM quest today there was literally a room full of rust monsters.  It was completely IC for my PC to panic and not go anywhere near them.  Honestly, though, those things OOCly made my head ring with pain.  Is there a growing theme here?  Is it puroseful?

Assume that you play a PC that worked very hard to get a metal item, say a RL month or more.  Now imagine losing it through no fault of your own.  Very frustrating, especially knowing that it will likely take at least that long again to reacquire the item.

I'm just wondering if rust monsters are fun or just a source of OOC grief.  Couldn't they instead unequip the item and remove from quickslots?  This would hinder battle and on a GM quest would allow the GM to say something like, "Your axe's metal is scarred and pitted, it will need a lot of cleaning before you can use it again."

Yes, I am still working hard to acquire a replacement for my greataxe.  I'm sure you've seen my pleading trade&market forum posts.  I am still several RL weeks away from working ingame enough to stay out of debt for a new one.

General Discussion / Orc Fortress Raid

[SIZE=16]Quest of Acquisition!
[/SIZE]
Let's see if we can schedule a raid on the Orc Fortress for next week.  Time should center around when osxmallard and Chazzler are available.  Suggestions for time?  Any day Monday through Thursday next week is good, with some chance on Friday possible.

Others that can make the time suggested are welcome with the caveat that the splitting of the static quest items will be pre-determined.  Other loot will fall under the normal dice rolls.

It's been some time since I've been there but as I recall the danger is high.

Fixed Bugs / Ingot recycler does not recycle mangled silver
« on: September 08, 2008, 01:30:07 pm »
Where:  Northpoint
What:  Ingot recycler gives failure message when mangled silver placed within it, but the item is not removed from recycler's inventory.  No success message is ever given.  (My PC's smelting skill would likely yield a high chance of success at recycling.)

Due to an unfortunate encounter with a nasty beast, Dubbel is seeking a new axe to replace his now-corroded one.  Since this one took several years of work and savings to acquire, he is hoping a replacement will not come with a price tag of indentured servitude for life.

General Discussion / A travelling bazaar!

Dream of opening an ingame shop?
First Friday Fair at Stormcrest

As much as I try, I cannot resist doing more than just hacking at giants ingame.  It is a curse, a plague, a feebleness of the mind.  So...

One thing about running a shop is that when there's no one around, it gets pretty boring.  You're standing there twiddling your thumbs when you suddenly get a whiff of an adventure afoot.  Do you join them and abandon your RP post?  If you do, you might miss that RP that is walking down the path just out of sight.  If you don't, you will likely kick yourself later as your buddies are leveling and you're dreaming of new PCs to submit for approval.

There is a solution provided to us by the very capable Layonara development team:  [lore]PC Quest System NPC and Chests[/lore].  See this image for an example of what is possible:  Dubbel's Store.

Here's what I'm thinking:  A group of RP-minded players band together and form a travelling market.  The goods in the chests would be RP items (foods, ales, pipeweed, etc.).  If you were there in person (between adventures) you could hawk your more durable goods.  Remember that the chests are not persistent across resets, nor are there any safeguards to theft since payment would be by the honor system.

I have some more ideas for this but following my own advice I'll think big and start small.
  • Sign up one or more food, ale, and pipeweed sellers
  • Partner with an existing PC-run business
  • Send out bird messages with the week's menu and small tidbits about the vendors
  • Have the paperboy sell the menu
  • Work towards establishing a new tavern in a location like the Thundervalley Crossroads

Trade and Market Hall / Wanted ~ Helm of Orcish Ranks
« on: August 21, 2008, 08:32:24 am »
[SIZE=16]The halfgiant known as "Double" is seeking special item known as the Helm of Orcish Ranks.  If you have one and are willing to broker a work-for-trade deal, seek him out.

In trade, he can offer his services as a metal miner and smelter, alchemist, or simply as your own personal storm in battle.
