According to Neverwinter Nights Official Site it seems that they are taking pre orders, and the official date for the pre orders is 6/25/02. As a fan of pen-n-paper, without the geekiness, Neverwinter Nights solves my dilemma!"

    that's awesome news, hopefully we'll be able to carry over out BG2 characters to the new mmorpg. You can't beat the kensai mage duel class for single player, but the cleric mage combo in multiplayer is devastating.

    I mean, pen and paper RPG without the geekiness? That's like french fries without fat, Microsoft software without bugs... *rimshot*. They probably just bit the bullet after all these wasted years and made the geekiest game in history. Which will still sell like mad; they've had an eternity to hype it and take pre-orders, after all.

  8. I saw this a few days ago.... by Xenopax · · Score: 5, Funny

    And I immediately started putting a group togethor to start in July (to give me enough time to write the campaign). Some people from my pen & paper group want me to tranfer my current campaign to this new system, but I told them that we should continue the pen and paper stuff since nothing beats eating chips and watching pewter figures hump each other while I frantically try to find the AC of an orc.

    When I'm in a game, I want to be completely surrounded by the fantasy. I don't want to remember that it's just a game, and not being able to do simple actions like swimming and climbing rip me right out of the fantasy, and plop me down in reality.

    Oh, give me a break. None of us computer game players could swim or climb if we wanted to in the real world anyway, so the game is actually very realistic.

    Dammit, I dropped my Doritos. I am screwed! Help!!
