Hi Folks,

I just wanted to share with you all some screenshots of an upcoming project I am working on for NWN2.

The project is a fully canonised Moonsea module for the ALFA (A Land Far Away) community. The build has begun by focussing on that bastion of tyranny, Zhentil Keep and environs to begin with.

I'm interested in any comments my fellow canon buffs have. Please understand I am working with the limitations in the NWN2 toolset to create as closely as possible what I see in my minds eye based upon what I have read over the past 18 years or so of DMing and playing (both pnp and on the computer) in the forgotten realms.
I am using Ruins of Zhentil Keep as my core resource, bar anything that has been updated by Mysteries of the Moonsea.

So please enjoy and as I said, I'd be interested in your comments.

I hope you find these screenies of interest and I look forward to reading any responses.

Wow, very nice. :)

I might have to check into what you've done for places in the Realms. :)

For some of us, books are as important as almost anything else on earth. What a miracle it is that out of these small, flat, rigid squares of paper unfolds world after world, worlds that sing to you, comfort and quiet and excite you... Books are full of the things that you don't get in real life - wonderful, lyrical language, for instance, right off the bat. - Anne Lamott, Bird by Bird

Ooh my home town Zhentil Keep, what a beautiful city

Really beautiful pictures, I almost felt as I were home.

Well met

Very impressive, Thangorn, very impressive indeed I'll certainly look forward to reading of your developments on this project.

Zhentil Keep holds great interest to me, so your project has that little extra appeal for me.

Just got some new community content added.. I've been like a kid in candy store all day.

I think I've got the 40' black granite walls of Zhentil Keep a lot more authentic this time around..

Nice, very cool. Looks sinister. :)

Yes, great job, although I don't play PWs.

"Instead of asking why we sleep, it might make sense to ask why we wake. Perchance we live to dream. From that perspective, the sea of troubles we navigate in the workaday world might be the price we pay for admission to another night in the world of dreams."
