Hi, I speak on behalf a group creating the new NWN Dark Sun game; the spiritual successor or Athas Reborn and Crimson Sands. The game will include all city-states, sorcerer kings, and official adventures, including novels. Needless to say, it’s going to be free to play.
This is a small team of volunteers who pulled themselves from their bootstraps to make this project possible. It’s not complete yet; which is why we’d appreciate it if any of you guys considered joining us.
We look for people who are willing to work on or learn modelling and scripting; this project is entirely voluntary and it’s being done for the love of Dark Sun. We have tutorials available and material to work with. To give you an idea, a character model takes approximately 1 week for a beginner. We already have some races. Once we get past the modelling stage, the easiest part begins; the creation of quests.
Hi guys, I would love to help out with the project. My biggest question is how you will be allowed to publish this without causing an intellectual property problem with WotC?

We are not creating a game. We are creating a game world with in a exsiting D&D 3d game NWN (Neverwinter Nights). If we where going to create a whole game using a program like Unreal or Unity then we would run into the problem your talking about. However that isn’t the case, we are not selling anything or charging money for anything. You have to buy the NWN game to play our game world. So like I said it a game world within a D&D game. So instead of playing it on the table top we will be playing it inside NWN.
I hope that helps clear thing up for you. We also could use more people to help work on the project if you would like to help just let me know.
If you have any question or want to join the team just let me know, you can PM me here or I’m Tonden#9076 on discord.
" hey, does that mean you will be doing Dregoth Ascending? 'cause that would be sick "
We really want to do everything however stuff takes time, so the more people we have who are working on the project, the more we can do and get things done faster.

Interesting. That should actually work, legally speaking, based on my limited understandings. (disclaimer: not a lawyer nor related specialist.) I’ll be very interested to see a working version of 3.x psionics put into play. Does NWN support 3.x psionics as is, or will that take some creative coding?

The Psionic class has been made for NWN two different ways. We currently have one of the two up and working at character selection. We will need to play around with it more and really test it out to know for sure if we will be using it or the other one. But psionics are a BIG part of Dark Sun so having a good working Psionic class is a must.
Hmm, I’d be interested in assisting a bit. As a hardcore psionics nut, I’d like to see the power point system in action. I have the Gog version of NWN, but not the second one.
If you would like to support and or keep up with what is going on with the project then you can follow us on our Twitter page. https://twitter.com/NwnDarkSun
If you would like to join the team and help out with the project then just contact me and I will get you an invite.
If you would like to help with the project then it would be nice if you would use Discord. We use it to talk with each other, share ideas, screenshots, files, and to help each other.
I’m interested. I’ve been curious about the process of getting a good game up and running for quite some time. Sadly, I have no experience with 3d modeling, coding, or other things in that computer-driven arena, and that, from other threads here and your site, seems to be the area where the most hands are needed. I’ll blow the dust off of my Discord, and we can talk and see if I can be helpful. Is there a good time to shoot for, or a good day?
Anyone wanting to help with this project is more then welcome to join us on our Discord. I’m sure that we can find some way for just about anyone to help if they really want to.
