Hey FRC, I plan to DM in the dead zone
Dead zone starts at about: New York 8 am, London 1 pm, Australia 10 pm. (As daylight savings swings in and out, the above times are within an hour) It’s covering a zone that typically has fewer DMs and Questing
I'm interested in creating stories that develop and challenge players. Expect that focusing on a combat solution will result in a suboptimal story resolution.
The story challenges should work for level ranges 6 to 25.
Those outside may find that they might have to work a little harder, or should consider sponsoring lower level PCs to participate in the quests for their interests
Expect that if you are not willing to lose (place the PC at some types of risk), that you will have fewer opportunities to win/ succeed at the quests. If you're involved with my content, expect to use up consumables.
Also expect that actions will lead to alignment review. I will often give small adjustments to a PC’s alignment at the conclusion of quests.
Skill checks In my quests a 1 is not an autofail nor a 20 an auto pass. I do take a trained skill rank into account. I also will roll behind the screen for you checks where the outcome is best hidden (Bluff, diplomacy, spot and search for example)
I will also support spells and actions not normally available on NWN with DM supervision and support, if involved in my plot lines, be creative and use what you have. Ping the DM channel and emote IC as you do this.
Actions have consequences Guards do not ignore people or property being damaged. Merchants and others notice when you change gear, cast spells and drink potions. Do not be surprised when the world reacts to your behaviour (except Bentin, we all know he just hates all adventurers and wish es to stuff you all in boxes)

A note is posted in only two places, The Obscene Ogre, Suzail and The Tipsy Imp, Valkur’s Roar
// The quest starts New York 9 am, London 2 pm, Australia 11 pm of the 29th September and Baramus will only linger for 3 hours, possibly less if people are *amazing*. Note that quest completes when all tasks are done and people may choose to group or go solo. Please allow some patience as some NPC interactions may take time, and also take hints on when to drop something. Extra time has been allowed for on the 30th at the same time should no one have completed all the required tasks. Happy to receive and reply to IC/ OOC PMs regarding the quest. SDS//

A note is posted in only two places, Outside the Temple of Hoar, Valkur's Roar and outside the Alzarin Academy, Marsember
// The quest starts New York 9 am, London 2 pm, Australia 11 pm of the 6th October and Camarus will likely take one of the first applicants there (Try not to be late, best to PM me if you plan to come). Note that a skilled diviner is required which means that you will know if you are skilled if you have spellcraft 5 (ranks), and access to a divination spell Level: Bard 2, Cleric 3, Sorcerer/Wizard 2, Travel 2. To emulate a spell not supported by NWN I will ask that you have access to one of the following spells: See Invisible, Clairaudience/Clairvoyance or Find Traps SDS//

The Following is posted up in the Tipsy Imp
// For those able to read between the lines. The above is an advertisement for a burglar. The quest starts New York 8 am, London 1 pm, Australia 11 pm October 13th. Anyone wishing to attend should turn up for an interview and test run against a challenge, scoring is based on time and pitfalls avoided. A winner(s)/ or even a winning group will be expected to turn up one week later on the October 20th for the “live” job. Thieves do not get to challenge each other to duels much. I hope to have time to run a few people/ groups through so entries are open from the start time and up to 2 hours later. EDM SDS //

A number of missives have been left discretely in various inns
// They are just one of the odd little notes left on the notice board, nothing interesting here unless . . . // Unless you are an assassin, or are evil and have assassin like skills, qualities or perceptions (Monk, rogue, cleric, blackguard), then this is a quest for you // If you wish to "participate" and are able to understand the above missive, feel free to post "qualifications" to myself or DM Pandora for confirmation // Interviews will be arranged by PM, they will be scheduled in a Sat/Sunday starting 11 PM Melbourne, Noon London, 5 AM Chicago (~ within a four hour block after start time // Expect the "job" in a few weeks, same time slot after said interview // MULTIPLE PLACES AVAILABLE *cough* // EDM SDS // PS Paladins are going to need a very specific guild membership to explain why they might be able to decode this, and it's not the triadics
