** takes a mug of C.C.B. ** Yeah, with any luck, I can give you my first impression of the single-player game tomorrow. I think I'll swing by the Dreamland store once more, on my way back from work ** crosses his fingers ** BTW, I've just sent you guys the updated sidestory V4.01.

G'morn, mates !
@E-Man : Yeah, tell us as soon as you tried it... **shivers in anticipation**
@BS : Welcome back ! How'sa goin' ?
@Ysh, Mysty & DW : Glad to see you again...we've sorely missed you gals..
@Ode: You wanted to know that - the first test of the Ice-bong idea on our guests was a success....

*I* already knew that, but now the idea is spreading...

Glad to know they liked it, mate. The more that know about it the better, it's the only way to bong on IMO.
Were you planning on getting NWN too?

@Ode: I think I'll try a half-elven fighter first and see how I like it

@Beldin: good job, mate

Beldin:
I will get NWN as soon as my bank account recovers from the expenses for the pool

. I'm completely broke now...but wait for another month, and we might start talking about getting it...

@Eerhardt-dualled to a mage, by any chance?
@Beldin-Let me know what you think when you get it, I'm still undecided as to whether to buy it or not. Not really being able to get a good multi-player connection I'm not certain if it's worth it.

@Ode: I'll let you know - and I'm looking forward to try NWN Online -maybe with the Rolling Thunder Crew in Attendance

Why, how did you guess, Ode?

- don't know at which level, though. I would have to check the experience tables from the manual.
@Beldin: ah, with the sun shining it's probably healthier to buy a pool than NWN

. Either way, I'll let you know what the singleplayer campaign is like (not having a multiplayer connection...
period)

** takes another drink from his mug **
EDIT - @Beldin: a SLURR merchant MOD would be sòòòooo

@Eerhardt: Change that to "(not having a multiplayer connection...
yet)"
We'll talk about a Mod when I've played it in the "original" version....but even there we could join at some time for a game-party......

...preferably in autumn, when the weather gets bad and on a weekend....

If I get NWN and Eerhardt gets an internet connection then we'll have to try an all-SLURR multi-party.

Maybe even use our DF characters (I would anyway, mind you, I have a thing for elven archers

).
Stil already has it, so he's available too.
The only question is whether Neverwinter is really ready for a bunch of SLURRs running amok through it...

@Beldin: point well taken... give me at least few more months before moving out and getting an apartment with internet connection

No worries, Eerhardt - if NWN was REALLY worth the wait we'll probably play it for a LOOOOONG time....(just you remember how long BG, SoA and ToB kept us occupied...

) ...and I'll definitely not play online for any extended stretch of time while it's even remotely "summery" outside...

- I'm not THAT addicted to computers....but I AM a sun-addict...

Once again @Beldin I feel obliged to point out how much you'd like the weather here in Oz. I get sick of quite so much sun sometimes, to be honest.
Autumn is my favourite season at the moment, don't ask me why.
I find at night is the best time for playing videogames.

That might be a problem - considering our different timezones... so YOU play at nights, and us Europeans in the afternoon - on weekends...so we might have a chance to pull it off...

That should work, it's around 5pm here at the moment. I only have dial-up and a 56k modem, and the phone-lines won't handle anything faster than about 37 kbps.
In other words I can't host the game. We've never tried BG2 in multi-player either.

@Beldin: is that a Pratchett thing (PM me if you don't want to give it away)?

Like I said, I only read Thief of Time so far... ** takes a drink from his pint **

@Eerhardt-Not as far as I know it isn't.
@Beldin-Okay. **Sits back with glass of nice wine**
