Episode 31 of the Neverwinter Nights Podcast has just been released, which includes Part 1 of a round-table panel discussion that I participated in called “Storytelling Across All Neverwinter Nights Mediums.” I recommend it highly, and not just because I’m in it. It was (I think) a fascinating discussion of the subject, from the differing (and yet often similar) gameplay perspectives of single player mods, DM-led mods, and persistent worlds. We ended up going for several hours, which is why the segment is going to be continued in upcoming episodes of the podcast.

The other two panelists were Bruce Nielsen, author of the “Light Reborn” module series, and Kevin Sheehan, creator of the Glorwing Persistent World. It was a unique experience to discuss NWN building and storytelling with such intelligent and thoughtful individuals. Thanks again to Trey and Jay from the NWN Podcast for setting it up!
