The World of Avlis

I prefer the Playstation-ish button arrangement, so I got myself the 8bitdo Pro 2 - https://www.8bitdo.com/pro2/ Overall been very happy with it. It gets use for both PC and Switch. This brand also makes a bunch of other controller styles if you prefer the Xbox button arrangement or if for some reas...

Haunted Mikona Alcatraz was a nice way to spend a Friday the 13th evening. Keep up the good work!

This thread is reminding me that I really should be reading more, considering how many books I come into contact with on a daily basis. :shock: Here's a few recent-ish personal reads and other ones that this thread made me remember. The Secret History by Donna Tartt This has often been credited as o...

It's come to my attention via Facebook discussions that you apparently can't buy NWN Diamond Edition standalone anymore? You have to buy the Enhanced Edition on GoG which comes with Diamond bundled in to get it. The Steam version doesn't do this AFAIK. The downside to this is that buying the Enhance...

I can't help you with any of those skillsets unfortunately. However, it does seem like a lot of those sorts of people hang around the NWN Vault Discord server. It may be of interest to check it out and send out feelers? There are 1-2 other NWN related discord hubs but NWNVault seems to have a lot of...

I've been a bit out of the loop again lately due to RL/vacation/etc. and I'm not sure which patch(es) did it, but the NWN:EE version of the toolset seems to have fixed some of the very annoying slowdowns that people were experiencing with the standard 1.69 NWN one, especially on Windows 10. Previous...

It's not quite auto downloads, but steam workshop seems useful for stuff like putting all your server's required downloads in one spot for easy access and minimal fuss? Not too many PWs functioning on Enhanced Edition right now, but a handful seem to have done that - http://steamcommunity.com/shared...

The March 27 release seems to be for the Steam version only so far. No word on other distribution platforms yet like GoG. They have said that if you bought it direct from Beamdog, you'll get a Steam key. A bit odd to me that they're releasing there first and not via the Beamdog launcher itself...but...

Any update here? I've been casually following the EE buzz since it was announced. I recall there was a lot of enthusiasm from this end initially but it seems to have fizzled. I don't think I've seen Avlis mentioned once over on the beamdog forums or on any of the NWN hub discords and whatnot. The on...

Well I owe someone $5 now.

Let's hijack Grace for a playdate at your place sometime...maybe play some Scrabble with the white kobold and the apprentice?

Went ahead and shared this post on the FB Avlis group and told 'em to get in touch if they want to interview. Personally I'd love to see some from some of the folks that have been behind the curtain for awhile. It's always interesting to see what goes on in the heads of the people pulling the strings.

I can toss this out to Facebook if that's ok? Might be some old timers lurking around there who'd be willing to be interviewed.

For never failing to put The Fear in me

Congrats all!

Oh yeah...this may be the first month in a really long time I've actually played enough to vote.

That's kind of depressing, considering they're even closing up the Mass Effect: Andromeda forum...and the game hasn't even been released. Seems they're trying to make it all about social media platforms and not forums anymore.

Not completely sure of my availability that weekend but I should be available at least some of the time.

Would probably come with Solveig, naturally. White Order of the Light and all that jazz

Aw cute, I got a comment. Wasn't expecting anything since I've still been a fairly rare sight, but thanks mystery person. Grats to the winners as well!

Good thoughts your way. My poor sister just went through a nasty ordeal last week with an ovarian mass (turned out to be huge cyst) that she never even knew she had until it started bleeding inside her. It was quite large, 8cm+ diameter. She was in surgery to remove it within hours of presenting to ...

Thanks for the update. I've actually thought about this a few times in the past months wondering how things have been going.

Solveig: Wait, what?

The White Order event mentioned in the interview involved my character Solveig. That little goof was hilarious. I never forgot it.

I don't think any mage scared Solveig quite as much as Bedlam, even though she only met him a few times...

This is a pretty awesome bundle for only $20! I would buy this but I already own most of these games except Icewind Dale.

Solveig: Wait, what's going on?
