I got the impression from the website that some of these encounters would add NPCs to your party--is that correct? I didn't see any discussion of interactions with other party members, special quests, stats, etc.
To the Righteous belong the fruits of violent victory. The rest of us will have to settle for warm friends, warm lovers, and a wink from a quietly supportive universe.

You get to interact(and more :) ) with new NPCs, but they do not join your party, no.

"joinable NPCs" currently mean a short affair with Haer'Dalis, Edwin or Yoshimo.

The mod's readme is quite explicit about each encounter: to whom it is available(gender or race requirements, in Ribald's case - charisma requirement), where you have to go to meet this character/when it happens/after which quest, and so on. The link is in the post above.

Yes, the readme is explicit, and I think that's a good idea. I was trying to avoid doing so, however, for the same reason that I don't like reading walkthroughs before playing. :D Rather, I thought I'd check out your website and see if I could glean a sense of the mod from there--hence, my question about joinable NPCs.

In any case, keep up the good work. It's been a while since we've seen any BG2 mods show up, and quite a few people check here to discuss their favorites, or ask about new ones. :)

Thank you for the compliments. I'll make sure to post it here, if I complete anything else, on my own or as a part of a team. (I have a quest mod with four new areas long completed, but original voicing takes time).

I don't know about it being a while, though - Infinity Engine Modding News RSS feed seems rather news-heavy to me: The Gibberlings Three Forums -> Infinity Engine Modding News , and new listings are added to Pocket Plane modlist every month.

I wasn't aware of The Gibberlings Three Modding News list--thanks for passing that along. I've added it to my bookmarks. Still, of 15 entries last month, only one was new--yours--and I should have been clearer at looking for that. The PPG's list has been far slower, of late: only Xan updated twice in the last 2 months, and no other mods referenced on the news page.

But then, summer traditionally tends to be slow for modding in most games. I think people tend to take off and do other things, like, well, live. :D And I for one can't grudge them that, not after all they've done for games like BG2.
