The World of Avlis

The Texas and New Jersey Avlis gatherings have gone off without a hitch, and fun was had by all! There are some pics from both gatherings that will be posted in short order. I believe the Texas ones are already up. It was cool to meet the new people who showed up in NJ. We had about 15 or 20 people show up for this gathering, and maybe 10 or 15 show up in Texas. A couple of the Connecticut people even asked me to join my pnp group permanently, which of course is very cool, since we only play maybe once a month or every 2 months.



I will be writing up the synopsis of the pnp notes in the Info forum, with some help from good ol' Myk D'vor. So be on the lookout for that.



These Avlis gatherings that have been popping up around the United States and Europe have inspired Silk and I to eventually do some sort of Avlis conference. We don't know when, or where yet. But we will try to put it in an accessible place, at least for the North Americans. We will also give about a year's notice in case the Euro's or Asian/Aussies would like to come too.



It's also possible that next year around May, I might head down to Oz to run a gathering. (Party at Vicky's house. Woo!)



Taking a step back, I am truly amazed at this community. We have a large group of players who all see each other online on a regular basis, and it's getting to the point where a lot of us are even meeting up becoming friends in real life. The world itself is going beyond NWN, and becoming a larger entity/organization in its own right. I am grateful that everyone has found something they like to do, because I know I also like doing this. It will be interesting to see how we grow and where this all heads to in the future as things get bigger.



A final word about pnp.... There should be enough information on the boards and the Info forum for home-grown DM's to run Avlis campaigns on their own at home with pnp. I want to say that you are welcome to do this, again, the world is for all of you to play in. Please give proper citation and credit for any written materials that you use, but other than that, use them in good health. Make your own Avlis campaign with your friends and shape your campaign through it.



Thanks all. See you at the next gathering.
