...for my reign is over.

I've deeply enjoyed being a DM, but now am taking a break and returning to a humbler, simpler, happier existence among the unwashed player masses. At least for a long while.

It has been great to work with the rest of the team over the past two years to make EFU a fun, interesting, beautiful, and cutting edge NWN server to play on. Probably the greatest of its kind. It was a real privilege to be offered this position by a certain intoxicated DM back in the days of EFU:M.

Maybe we'll see each other IG in the future in a whole different way. For now, see ya later.

Over the four chapters of EFU, the DMs and players have shared a lot of precedent for different kinds of events, scripted systems, activities, plots, factional dynamics, etc... that form the story and worldbuilding and gameplay experiences that we are here for.

My question is, reflecting on these experiences and aspects of EFU, what do you like to do on EFU?

Hello everybody,

I'm going to be running a prelude, around this time. This prelude will be about a group of withered survivors in the City of Old Port.

This can be for new PCs, or old PCs. (See below)

I'm also extending an invitation for players who want to keep playing old characters from EFU:M. Whether your character is still back in Old Port or on Ymph, or has managed to get to Sanctuary, you are welcome to hit me up about continuing their story. This invitation is ongoing and not only for the prelude event, but I reserve the right to review and discriminate against PCs. Particularly:

- If you are not going to play the PC as a main character for the foreseeable future.
- If you only want to bring back the PC because of their supplies/loot/levels.

However, the good news is, taking me up on this invitation will mean that your old EFU:M PC will be capable of respawning again.

Some of you might remember this opportunity.

This was a ruse to gather developed PCs (ie. not gimmicky ones) on a simple premise for a unique experience in EFU. These PCs were to find themselves operating out of Hyrelican's Seat, a beautiful and mysterious underwater city...

This post is just to make it known that it is legitimately possible to play underwater characters involved in events occurring underneath the waves.

The Diluvian City has various playable roles, from Diluvians and any other underwater races, to involvement in the Cult of the Veneroida.

So I encourage interested people to apply for some sort of underwater creature if you wish, or you could try to get involved in these events with other sorts of PCs.

[Note:]

Greetings people of EFU,

I am looking for players who are interested in a mid to long-term concept, to participate in a prelude, followed by a rather interesting little plot.

Note: I am not interested in throwaways or tagalongs. I strongly encourage people who join this prelude to play their characters as their mains from then on. I can promise it will be a very interesting experience.

If you are interested in playing either a Slave or a Slaver for this prelude, you must send me a SHORT character summary (think of it as an informal application, just tell me a bit about your character's personality, background, etc.) to me in a PM.

Here is a template:

GSID:
Timezone/Playtimes:
Name:
Age:
Race:
Class(es):
Alignment:
Deity (if applicable):

Background (keep this part concise please):

Character Traits / Personality / What does your character want in life?:

You may also join me in the IRC channel #slavery if you wish.

Here is some basic information about the general idea of this Prelude:

News begins to filter into the outskirts of the village of Mistlocke,  and indeed to Mistlocke itself, of an unusual multitude of vessels  skirting the shores of Ymph- dropping anchor at Murdertown or by some  quiet section of coast only to have a few figures row to shore to  disappear into the brush before once again departing...

Though some bluster is heard of the return of the Comitals, and a second  war, most dismiss this... More persistent is a subtler, and darker  explanation. It's said the price of slaves in the city of Old Port has  risen steeply- doubling, or even tripling. More slaves than ever before are pouring through the Last Gate of Old Port, to the dark city below.

And so, say the gossipers over their cups, desperate or plain foolish  bands of slavers and bounty hunters are descending upon Ymph, braving  the curse in the hope of making a tidy fortune...

Your PC can be either a bounty hunter / mercenary / slaver / merchant / or whatever trying to capitalise from this new opportunity... or an unfortunate prisoner or slave of some variety.

Your story will begin on a vessel headed back to Old Port to sell its slaves after a successful run of the isles...

Once I've received expressions of interest over the next day or so, a time will be organised to run the prelude.

[PvP tool]

A few things of note.

- The PvP tool is now available as a free action through a player tool. As usual, player tools may be assigned via the crafting menu. (Enables you to change subdual mode or set other PCs hostile quickly via clicking on yourself or them with an assigned player tool.)

- A Climbing player tool is also now available. You may now attempt to climb without equipment, though using equipment makes it considerably easier.

Tweaks may be made to aspects of this, and to the two new scripted quests in the mod.

;)

The unique Stargazer Halfling subrace has long been an application only race (if a relatively easy one, requiring players mostly to demonstrate an understanding of it in their applications).

As of today, several Stargazer totem tribes (representative of the more populous or commonly encountered tribes) are being opened up for non-application play. These are:

• Starwood Stargazers
• Jaguar Totem Tribe
• Parrot Totem Tribe
• Trout Totem Tribe

All other totem tribes will still require applications.

If you'd like to play a Stargazer of one of these tribes, all you have to do is make a halfling PC with an appropriately filled subrace field (Stargazer or Stargazer Halfling) and find the Stargazer starting placeable in the OOC starting area.

Stargazers may not be paladins, monks, clerics, rogues, or wizards. More information about the subrace may be found in the link above and here.

The DMs reserve the right to retire Stargazer PCs at first sign of poor portrayal. (ie. choosing to play this xenophobic, savage subrace only to chill in the Mistlocke square) This should hopefully not be an issue for most who choose to play it.

Be sure to request forum access should you create a Stargazer PC, join fellow Stargazer players in #Stargazers on IRC, and have fun.

For I am the newest addition to the DM Team.

Many of you will know me already, though I also note a number of new arrivals to the server that I look forward to getting to know from the other side. I am very excited about getting started, and will be working hard with the other members of the staff to make EFU a more terrifying place for you all.

Much of the Awesome awaits us, friends. :) See you in game.
