Excellent thread about starting your own PW:

Thats so cool, I know the guy IRL who wrote that whole thing. He used to manage the first PW I ever played on.

Seems almost to easy to start my own PW if I wanted.

It is a very good article and I regret that I never got round to completing the setup of a PW.

This is something that I am going to put right in NWN2

Always good to see another person have input into what they think is needed. Go for it.

I agree . . . people should be ambitious, and creating a PW is really fun . . . hard? mmm, depends, on your experience with DnD and other things . . . mainly, just time consuming, but possible if a small one alone . . .

Link added and well done....

sorry for the noob question but what is a PW? I know it means persistant world but what does that mean?

Never say sorry for any type of NWN or D&D questions here

Here is a link that explains it very well.

so its like TESIV:Oblivion where once a npc is dead they stay dead forever. Also I came across the term DM, is this a type of moderater?

When an NPC is dead then a true persistent world would keep the NPC dead, but some PWs on a server restart would raise the NPC.

DM = Dungeon Master and normally they would interact with the players and come up with a story. They would roleplay with their own characters with the players just like pen and paper D&D.

DMs would also keep an eye for cheaters or people that are power gamers (especially if they are in a RP server) i.e. they level up very fast, by maybe killing creatures that re spawn in the same area.
