Saying Hello.

Post by Nettle »

Just reading through all the stuff here as im downloading,

Looks a good game,Im pleasently surprised at finding it,tierd of getting Roleplay games that dont really have any RP at all!

Ive been playing NWN for 4-5 years and ,I like too think,Im a fairly decent roleplayer.

Oh and Im a major Faerie/Pixie buff! A serious one though,I dislike the "cute little disney-esque" style of

playing Fey.

Sadly it seems I have to write an application for one here,expect a dossier soon!
Also any Fey players feel free to point me at things!

Also ,having read about the magic system being apparently in a hiatus,Im at a loss as too what direction too take her in,druid perhaps?

Hope to be fluttering past you all soon :)

Welcome and glad to have another RPer around. I would say a must is to 1. read the rules (which I assume you have) 2. read the races which will give you a good example and ideas on their RP, and read the wiki newbie guide.... all can be obtained from this link: http://illarion.org/general/us_startpage.php

Newbies generally are advised not to aim for magic simply not to discourage them because it's rare that a teacher is available to teach .. but right now, there's an available teacher in game. Might be hard to convince him to teach though, so give it a try I'd say but don't feel bad if it doesn't work out.

Thanks all for the warm welcome,Im still reading everything through...I like my research! :)

Probably starting a fighter type first of all too feel out the atmosphere ,but I am already mentally typing up a Faerie,have been all day! I have read the race description but would like too contact anyone who is currently/used to playing one ,just too chew over some ideas really.

Anyway ,should be playing tomorrow,see you then :)

Nope,Im afraid I know no-one at all here,in fact i just stumbled across the game by pure google accident!

Started my new char,Caris but not out of noobia yet,Everthing seems to be coming together with the interface and stuff though so i hope too come across a few players soon,please put up with me if i drop any major clangers though! as its very differant at the moment,looks nice!

PS. @ moondust,thanks for the Tip on magic,however I need too learn a lot more before starting a mage type,and i was saving it for my Faerie.[got too have some magic as a Fey ,right?! :)]

Sorry, my friend : the 'coca' plant is from Bolivia, Colombia and some other small Latin American countries and cocaine is produced 'there'. However, Brazilians do consume a lot of cocaine as all of you in Europe and U.S.A.
'Cacau' has nothing to do with it, it is just the base for making chocolate.... And, yes, Brazil has lots of it...
Typical, I believe you still think we speak Spanish here, and not Portuguese....
