I was gonna ask the same question. :)
I should be able to play, starting from 8-9pm eastern.
Who else?

What do you feel we should be tackling? There's still a lot of investigation to do.
But we could also wander around the north ward, seeking and closing portals ("knitting" as Bran would call it ;) )
NWN1 PC:
Now (2017): Bran, naive servant of Lathander, currently thinking about opening a potion shop.
circa 2000: JenWa, proud mother duck and half-crazed sorceress of Shadowdale.


NW2 PC: Kasil Trueforger, dwarven scholar of Felbarr.

Garlus Ironbeard: [d] I was sure there was a reason we brought you along.
Kevorn Trueforger: [d] I'm da funny one and ye're da smart one.

Yessir!

A few PCs have mentioned things they want to investigate on their own. There is a pending meeting with Woland, but otherwise the direction you take is up to you. I won't stop you if portal whack-a-mole is the plan. :)
There's a place I like to hide
A doorway that I run through in the night
Relax child, you were there
But only didn't realize and you were scared
It's a place where you will learn
To face your fears, retrace the years
And ride the whims of your mind

The three stooges *ahem* amigos *ahem* n00bs (gaia_nostra, twilighteyes and yours truly) all plan to be on. We can be online any time after 7:30 PM EST and can play until we start falling asleep after a long work week.

I am not sure that we are ready to join the Big Boys yet for any dangerous activities yet, but we can attempt to hold our own at role playing, and Murgen is confident that he can outdrink the lot of you "shave-faced wine sippers" - his words, not mine! :lol:

(Speaking of n00b-like activities, dergon, sincere apologies for Shouting "Run!" at you the other day/night. I was trying to enter a simple command in a quick slot and I had no idea that it would default to a server wide Shout. From now on, I will test stuff like that when there is nobody on the server!)

I should also mention that it is a three day weekend, so will have a chance to be around for your guys Sunday as well.

I will be mostly around. Hoping to toy with the EE this weekend too.

I'm not available until Sunday. It's snowing in the mountains so going skiing!

Friday evenings (starting around 8-9 eastern is the main weekly quest time).

Otherwise, weekend evenings around the same time is next. I can occasionally catch folks on weekday evenings too.

HEEGZ! It would be an honor to have you stop by.

I am "in" for Fridays this winter.

I will also be *mostly* around on Wednesday evenings (more "happy hour" time than nights)

Hope we are on for this coming Friday!

Okay, that is what I thought. Thanks for the quick replies.

I have a tabletop group that plays Friday nights starting anywhere between 9 and 11 EST. Maybe I will just make it permanently start at 11 and then I can ALFA the 2-3 hours before hand... Hmm.

What sort of PC is needed at the lowbie end, levels 1-3? I love clerics, but could do paladin or something else entirely.

That I know of (please fill in if you feel like it):

Wild Wombat: Murgen, a Dorf Fighter/Rogue
Gaia_Nostra: Avendur, a Human Cleric (Lathander)
Twilighteyes: Cullen, a Human Minstrel (yes, minstrel. Be sure to ask, lol)
Rumple_C: Lofty, a Hin Rogue/Fighter
Akivaria: we have yet to meet, but Aki's PC did wander rather grumpily into the bar last Friday as things were winding down and I was not surprised to see a gnome.
joshmad: Tegrin a Hin of unknown capability (we have not met).

But that is just the low levels and for Ayergo's sanity, I am pretty sure that we will sooner rather than later be rolling up into one large party. (Led by the current low-levels, of course. 8) )

So, I'd say:

- we've got rogue covered, especially if Tegrin is one, but then again, you can never have too many rogues, is my philosophy.
- we've got too many bards, but then again, I say that you can never have too few bards *rim shot*
- Aki may be playing a gnome prestidigitator which woud be great since it would cover magic user. But I haven't played with Aki in many years, so my powers of prediction are probably suspect.

Play a cleric if that suits you... one that buff into a front line fighter would be great since Murgen seems to be semi-reluctantly filling the role of "tank".

But really, HEEGZ, play what you want to play. Never sacrifice your own enjoyment for party balance.
