from this point on.. I will attempt to have clues inserted into the mod for my current plots.
its a pain to go crump some place then send a PM saying 'hey I went here, did I see anything different', yes?
Well now you will see things different, while IG. Once you do, you can PM me and question what you found if you wish.
I will still take PMs about exploring and such of course.. and there is no way I can keep up with ALL of your NPC questions and such making taking NPCS all over the place. BUT if you wish to explore an area that has something todo with a plot I am running. I will make sure you can find something.
Infact there are 2 clues out there NOW
have fun!
BTW- the code and tools to do this thank Nas.. miss him terribly.
It wasn’t a pain in the slightest. I decided to take Jayem to kill some stuff and as this was where something had happened before I also decided to take the few minutes to PM and ask. It sounds like it will be much more of a pain for you to keep having to alter the module as well as responding to PMs.
I do actually like this idea though, if it saves you work in the long run - are the "clues" and such permanent additions to the mod, or are they temporary things that will vanish at the next reset?
I think it's great of BIAGW to do this; do you know that when I first started playing NWN, it took me years to realize that I needed to PM DM's when investigating something IC, as opposed to simply going there IC and investigating. And this way people who aren't even in a plot can stumble across clues, share them, and thus get involved.
NO its not a pain, my goal is for you to have fun with my plot, even when I can not game. Meaning, I can throw stuff in the mod for you to find, and you can tell other characters what you find and RP and discuss, with out waiting for a PM back from me. If you find something you can also post IC about it as well, makes the forums more fun to read too!
No these will not be removed at a reset or a crash, they will be there till MYSELF or another on the team remove them. Fun Tools Nas put together for DMs.
Yes I recall those days as well Akai. As for these clues, sometimes they will be very detailed with things you can examine, others they may just be things that you see that are different than 'normal'. An ogre with goblins worg ridders? A large hole in the middle of Bastion Market place... stuffs like that.

Me too, Akai, years. I would get upset and not understand why other characters were finding things out when I was role-playing and role-playing and role-playing but always out of the loop.

Took me a while before I understood what the others meant by "forums"... so when Jalya signed up for a guild and the player of the PC taking the registrations asked for my "board name" I went... "er... er.... er.... what? ahhh ... let me just ... ah... create an account there and i'll get back to you on that?"
My early days were "Role playing? What the heck is that?" ... to later become "... RPing on the boards? why? we have the servers for that..." to now "... we can fine tune stuff on the boards if we can't get IG together..."
I, too, think this is a great idea, for lots of reasons. Also, I am often afraid to contact DMs and ask stuff; this way I don't have to. Now if only I can find something! *goes off to search*
