Remember those ultra-informative brow-beating messages that pop up whenever you load a new area? Well, we need some new ones for NWN2 - so suggest away and the best score or so will head into the custom tlk for testing.

1. It's the goblin you don't hear that gets you.
2. Never loot your previous PC's corpse.
3. Carpe demon.
4. Roleplay always.
5. War is a failed diplomacy check continued by other means.
6. Do not exploit OOC details in game.
7. Right click on the ground and hold to bring up PC Tools to light a campfire.
8. Do not run (unless chased).
Enjoy the game

I can draft up some detailed ones on features of the resting/spell restoration system for those long exterior load-times.

If you're lonely, get on the forums and ask for people to play with.

The gods will get you if you're greedy.

Nothing is ever as obvious to the players as the DM thinks it should be.

What would your PC do?

If it looks too good to be true, tell a DM.

Good luck with your second character.

When roleplaying, try to do so in a way that is fun for the other players (including the DM) as well as yourself. If everyone does that, we each get a lot more fun out of LAFA than we put in.

Remember, emotions and body language aren't present when typing. Try to include suitable emotes, be aware that the humour in your remark may get lost in translation, and if something somebody else says sounds snarky, give them the benefit of doubt before jumping down their throat.

Really? I think it would work well. Would sort of get that "What the fuck?!" reaction.
