Nope, not at all. Gameplay should come first, methinketh. I'm not even arguing for a longer separation.

It's just something that stuck out as a potential story hook since it could bear further analysis. See, if there's a way to explain why this virus didn't behave like previous ones, say, by giving it a magical genesis (especially since it's racially sensitive),

yeah, i hear that.

There could be a much larger river, or a mountain pass between them, but I'm more interested in focusing on the interacting scripts than the scale of how long a walk it is from one area to the next.

I hope that doesn't sound like a cop out....

Interesting. I'm not really a fan of pure revenge stories; they always seem too shallow. That said, I like how you're framing things here, and it's fun reading about what you're doing.

Of course, one of the things I wondered about early on is the virus transmission mechanic. If the river really is all that is separating two relatively close towns, that's a fairly

just knowing it's possible is enough though, thanks! I'll just figure out how to do it, but will at least know it won't be a wild goose chase.

On the tieing a player to a module question, I know this is possible, as I've played modules that did just that. Couldn't for the life of me tell you how to do it though.

that's another thing that occurred to me, and another reason why I think his house is going to end up on the northern side of the river.

however! this raises the question of how he continued his research in the south, away from his lab...

one final solution occurred to me: i could make him a kind of cross between a sorcerer and doctor (which would explain his dabbling in

I liked the way you told the story. Though I have to ask, was no one able to figure out anything by searching his lab after he left?

Thanks, John. I'm thinking there still a bit ...

Thanks, John.

I'm thinking there still a bit missing. Maybe the doctor wanted to help the people in the north, but those in the south (where his home is located), forcibly detained him against his will, "for his (and the town's) own good".

This can create a further conflict where the doctor is embittered against the southerners for more than striking his

Just my opinion, but I really like the way that story unfolded.

Sage, do you know if it's possible to tie a player to a module?

Like, when you play my module, your only player choice is to pick Ixobelle the Knight (or whatever)? I know one of the big bonuses of the NWN toolset is creating modules that you then take your already leveled character into, and I've just recently discovered scaling encounters where it will match the difficulty

One thing to note about NWN versus WoW. DnD requires a party. So a Rogue is going to be screwed here, due to lack of Sneak Attack. Soloing generally benefits Clerics and Mage/Sorcerers. If you want people to solo, expect to start them off as level 4 against level 1-2 enemies, culminating in a level 2-3 fight (I'm taking this from the Penultima series, you might want to look into the
