New Player: Questions and all that

[Relic]

I've seen you online the last couple of days Cloud, so what do you think so far? I've been enjoying my time back with the project, these folks around here are some of the best RPers in town, even if they laugh when your first 12 PCs die! Heh, if you see Will D'Arville on line, feel free to walk up to him, he's such a social misfit as it is, he'd welcome the attention.

My questions:

1. Is there an actual area that is the Moonwood in the Silver Marches? I see a sign pointing that way but I am too afraid to go out looking for it alone.

2.Animals: Are there no 0 xp /meat and hide drop critter spawns for hunting? I remember roaming deer and such on Toril in NWN. Or should I request a DM spawn me a deer to kill (a level one deer tyvm.)

3.Traps: No traps? Craftable traps?

4. Is it considered bad to ask someone in tell where everyone is and then head there?

I saw the bodies in the temple at Rivermoot. I took it as a warning. Insofar I have survived several incapacitating bumps to the noggin and a raging gut wound that left me/her with 2 hp out of 10. Fortunately there were lawful good palladins and clerics or something running about so I lived. Also I managed to catch a fish inadvertantly and punch it to death.

I like it so far. Travelling is a pain compared to single player rpgs. Statics are great to have for fun but i'm figuring I should only do them once. How many times does that monk need his brass knuckles back right? Random idle emotes are disconcertingly authentic to the situation so far, except picking locks in the middle of a conversation. Plus I am really really impressed with NWN2 and the improvements it made to make the game look so much better and be more stable. Still not sure why the made hin so tiny.

Well I am certianly interested to learn more about the PCs I have encountered. They are very good at what they do and Dm's are so friendly. Maybe i'll find job as a scruffy but loveable sidekick (not the Jar Jar kind hopefully.)

1. Yes. And be afraid.
2. No, although there used to be pelts in the drops of some (not all) wolves. I've no idea what happened to those.
3. No traps. They've proven to troublesome in a multi-player setting.
4. If it is, then I'm guilty too.
   Just make sure you have an IC reason for going where you're going, be it ever so flimsy.

Sharing the meta-info of player location is perfectly fine when it is for meeting up to adventure or RP.

"Hey...I'm in High Hold if your PC wants to RP a bit"

or

"A group of us are just readying to leave Rivermoot on a JLM quest and there's gonna be fun...wanna come?"

are fine.

"Hey. My toon just took a crit and now I'm dying but stabilized at -4 in the orc caves. Can you come and give me a potion?"

not fine
