Player Requirements
That you are interested in participating in the roleplay and strive to enhance the experience for those you interact with.
Ravenloft is an original DnD setting based on gothic horror themes, similar to stories of H.P. Lovecraft, Mary Shelley's Frankenstein, Bram Stoker's Dracula, Anne Rice's Interview with a Vampire etc. The world may easily appear gloomy to people more familiar with high fantasy, but also having a strong sense of mystery rather than the bland and obvious.
Mainly, our aspiration is to have an atmosphere that's immersing, with stories that reaches out to the players as they partake in making them, for a rich and vivid roleplay experience.
In that sense, don't let being unfamiliar with the setting discourage you. We don't strive to be different from others simply by bringing the Ravenloft setting to the list of NwN PWs, and we won't test you in Ravenloft trivia or expect you to read books before joining the server. Our primary goal - our outset - is to create a place where roleplay, in all its forms, thrives.
So what does this mean?
Some might already worry that we are dedicated to ultra-realism: micro-management of every movement, no chance of adventure and achievement, every character sitting safe behind locked and barred doors, trembling in fear of what may be going on outside.
This is not what we aim for.
What we want to give you is the opportunity. Something you can shape yourself and with others. The opportunity to roleplay in as many situations as possible in as much detail as you desire. We want the world to react in a manner that inspires and encourages you to roleplay. We will not rigidly force you into roleplaying in certain ways, as we believe that forced roleplay never is good roleplay, and won't serve anyone. We want to have faith in your ability to roleplay too, and encourage you to think creatively.
This doesn't mean that we'll tear down every 3rd edition rule to replace with anarchy. Balance is needed, because risk is needed for progress to make sense. We may even choose to do things to adjust this balance better, as long as it isn't at the expense of the roleplay. But When we do change things, it's always ultimately for the sake of roleplay.
What you really should expect is a NWN experience that to a much lesser degree rely on out of character mechanics disrupting your roleplay, and instead, more in-character mechanics that further it, providing meaningful material for it. We aren't primarily focused on whether the way you explore the world is true to real life, as much as to try to make the world you explore alive. We want to give you a better opportunity to act in character, so we want the world to act better in character. We want the world to roleplay too.
