I've been doing the rounds of servers trying to get in touch with admins to discuss this idea, but some couldn't get in touch with, and some didn't respond. Got a couple of PWs on board though and with one or two tentative.

 

So just opening it up here to try and catch those admins i couldn't get in touch with or who may have missed my message.

 

Basically the idea is to try and capture the interest of younger players who may never have played NWN2 or even really be aware of it, but are keen on roleplaying in a D&D environment.

 

In order to do this i'm putting together a promo vid showcasing the variety of PWs out there, ideally highlighting the different settings and features that exist.  In order to do this, admins from interested PWs should get in touch with me to say they are interested, and ill also need them (or a suitable person) to make video clips of in-game stuff from their server (i have no intention of touring the PWs, downloading HAKs from each, learning the unique points of the server, etc, ill just put together the video!).

 

Further info, discussion will go forward via mailing list.

 

One good suggestion was made by a Dasaria player who suggested that we also contact GOG when the video is ready and see if we can organize a promo on sales at the same time we release the video.

 

The video will be shared via YouTube and we will try and make it viral by spreading it via social networks.

 

The video itself will start with an small intro - kind of presenting NWN2 almost like a new game - to catch interest, and then it will be followed up with 2-3 minute showcases of each PW that is on board. It will end with info on how to get the game and how to find PWs to join.

 

So, if you are an admin, and interested, let me know here or via PM.

Just make sure there are no segments that say things like "We have Kaedrins!" because people who are new are going to have no idea what the heck that means.

Also show me what the PW is focused on: if you're an RP focused world, I'd want to see some rp that's not standing around in a tavern chatting, because frankly I can stand around and chat anywhere. If your focus is DM'd stuff I want to see that there really is a live person doing the DMing, maybe include in your PW video a clip of a DM actually running things via DM interface, side by side with a clip of what a player in that DM's group sees while the DM is doing that.

Instead of "We have Kaedrin's" I would perhaps have text saying "Expanded class selection" at the same time displaying the class selection list being scrolled down.

 

As for DM side, if PWs make a clip of an event in progress from DM perspective it would be cool.

 

The video has to be dynaimc though, and not too long, so it won't focus on any area for a long time.

Cool deal! Thank goodness for NWN2's ADL to help make PW/MP easier for new players. Also, any ideas on how to make instructions for installing the Client Extension incredibly simple for brand new players for the server browser update?

No idea on that, i don't use the client extension myself. But when i did try it, i thought it was easy enough.
