Arelith - A Persistent World

The leading (or at least largest) D&D server for Neverwinter Nights. With several thousand player and dedicated team of volunteer developers.

Was also Lead Level Design on the Official NwN D&D titles 'Tyrants of the Moonsea' & 'Doom of Icewind Dale'

I may be bias but feel the problem also lies with the first of those two letter Ms. Why be 'massive' at all? Many players will get significantly more out of being part of a smaller, more personal experience. Meaningful stories told within a curated setting. Be the next thing, not the next BIG thing.

Lovely German language article here that talks about NwN and some of its servers (Arelith, PotM & TDN), with some very kind words to share (and includes an Arelith screenshot later in article!)

I've known Matheus for a number of years, so this one feels particularly special.

What stands out about this most for me is that outside of commissions to work on existing systems like D&D, Matheus has the most sublime imagination that really shines through here.

It's an inspiring effort.

While I definitely get the hate for alignments in #dnd I remain a fan.

In a game of tables and charts these structures are themselves pleasing to interact with, as is how it ties into the cosmology of the deities and the larger clockwork universe.

...also gives me something to do with a D8

I've never really made enough video content for Arelith, outside of some toolset tuition videos (I swear I'll get back to that one day), but over the years players have made, and continue to make a great many.

I'm very grateful to those promoting us this way.

A major update to Arelith's sailing system has introduced unlimited instanced vessels.

Ranging from small sloops to large galleons, in the last few days alone well over a dozen new crews have formed to take their vessel out on the grid map surrounding the mainland.

Every time I ask a search engine a question nowadays I get an AI answer, presented as objectively true.

Formerly one had to pop down to the local pub for this level of being wrong with utter convicion, so it saves me a walk and a few quid, if nothing else.

Pretty sure Internet used to be better.

Happy 25th Birthday to D&D 3E!

On August 10th, 2000, the PHB was released, as were character sheets and the Dungeons & Dragons Adventure Game boxed set. The DMG was released in September.

Baldur's Gate: The Sword Coast Chronicles (BGTSCC for short) is a persistent, online role-playing world in the game #NeverwinterNights2. Our world is set in the #D&D Forgotten Realms campaign setting, using the second and third edition lore as a canvas.

I think all roleplaying books should have a durability rating.

While others have long been reduced to stacks of crumpled paper, others have held up surprisingly well.

30 and 40 years old respectively.

They might look a little worn, but they are FAR from being defeated. #ttrpg #warhammer

I've come to enjoy these server hopping videos, as they're a great way to get a quick overview of all that NwN has to offer.

Some of these servers are mind-blowing. What a community.

One of the hardest things about managing Arelith's social media is to avoid excessively posting about politics (players are if all stripes).

That being said, if Elon goes ahead with his threat to buy #DnD might we then see Trump LARPing on the White House lawn?

The latest #DnD NWN DLC has been released where I was lead level (area) design. Was a lot of fun to make the Ten Towns for this, and a pleasure to work with author @lukescull.bsky.social again.

One problem with developing online D&D is worrying we have a hardware problem each time someone on staff reaches out to me about a problematic PC.

With recent events we may be getting more eyes here, so taking opportunity to mention that in addition to Arelith and other PWs, NWN has a huge catalogue of community made, single player modules. Entirely free (for owners of NWN), and often with great reviews.
