Gaming
I have waxed rhapsodic in this venue about Neverwinter Nights. Thursday night I played multiplayer for the first time with Yoshi, Mike, and Travis. Very very cool stuff.
I will reiterate - if you enjoyed playing D&D, you should get this game. Multiplayer was as close as you can get to a "paper and dice" shared gaming experience. It is conceivable that I could play D&D with my old high school friends again, without having to troop down to the SWOSU library building - how cool is that? (Kris, Dean, Joel? Are you getting this?)
As with all roleplaying games, much of the experience hinges on the DMing. Travis spent a ton of time coding the original "Ravenloft" D&D module into Neverwinter Nights, and the effort he put into it shows. Frankly, I'm impressed. He did a great job building it and running the module. I think that multiplayer would probably be fun no matter what, but Travis has me sucked in to the storyline and looking forward to finishing the adventure. Good stuff.

Just checked out the game at their web site...
Very Cool!
And only $20-30!?
I think I will actually have to rush out and buy it tonight.
Of course my house doesn't have the ambiance (or smell) of the SWOSU library, but if this game is as good as you say then I agree that it would be very cool to get the "old gang" together for a virtual D&D party. (Dean? Kris?)
I'll let you know what I think after I play it.
Oh, and I found this through some series of links while I was checking out the game:
