NWN1 HIDDEN GEM
To honor my 100th post I had to think a bit upon which module to feature this time. I wanted it to be good, as well as kind of hidden. A module that kinda sticks out from the others.
Then it struck me... I'll tell you about Luspr's Torslunda, a hall of fame module from back in the day.
I remember this as a well-written mystery adventure with a compelling story, an interesting town... and most of all... I remember the module's custom music and especially the town's main theme. You can listen to it via Spotify.
The story is also well-based within the Forgotten Realms setting. Names like Icewind Dale, the Sword Coast and Neverwinter are mentioned, among others.
Also, if you're a fan of winter adventures, then this can also be a module for you - snow is falling contantly in this adventure. The author Luspr planned a sequel, which sadly never saw the light of day.
Regardless, I personally think this NWN1 Hidden Gem stands very well on it's own.
THE FUTURE
In case you've missed it - I'm going to write E-book versions of my Neverwinter Nights modules Surviving Horror 1, Surviving Horror 2, Calm before the Storm, A New Journey Begins & Samhain's Eve, and after that - completely new stories! 😍
In the latest blog-poll you guys decided that Surviving Horror 1 is going to be the first E-book that I write:

I need to be completely honest with you, though... I currently have way less time than I'd like these days for writing & creative stuff. I'd love to do it, don't get me wrong!
But because I'm a freelancer (graphic designer and writer) I need to prioritize finding freelance work first, since I need to provide for myself and my family. Yeah, I don't have a full-time job... I need to constantly look for work to pay the bills.
But as I said earlier, I do want to prioritize creative endeavours, like writing on my
E-books and maybe even start NWN modding again. I've been thinking on this issue for quite some time now... and I think I may have found a way to make it easier for me to put time on creative stuff.
I've just launched a Patreon-page, where you guys can choose to support me - which I'd be eternally grateful for! If you decide to support me, then this is what you get on the different monthly tiers:

| Bronze-, Silver-, Gold-, Platinum- & Diamond Tiers. 1 SEK = 0,11 $. Your own currency will show on Patreon. Click / touch image to ENLARGE. |

| EXAMPLE: If you become my Silver Patron or higher - You get INSTANT ACCESS to a link list where I've personally gathered links to over 300 NWN1 & NWN2 MODULES! Some favorites, some modules I'd like to return to and some I'd like to try out. Click / touch image to ENLARGE. |
PATREON GOALS
If enough of you guys support me financially, then your total monthly sums combined would allow me to prioritize finding freelance work LESS, and prioritize creative stuff MORE!
Here's how the goals for my Patreon looks (more % = more of my total time you'd allow me to prioritize on creative work):

So, I'm thinking something like this - I'll start splitting any future posts into TWO PARTS: (1.) I'll continue posting about NWN modules here, no worries; and (2.) I'll post about my creative process when it comes to my E-books and other stuff, share downloadable content, post polls that will decide the direction of my content, and such; back on Patreon.
I've actually already made my first post back there (CONTAINS DOWNLOADABLE CONTENT) and the Silver Patron NWN Module link collection has also been published there, so be sure to check it out.
If you currently like or have liked any of my work in the past, then this is the opportunity to really make a difference - because my ultimate dream is to provide creative work to you FULL-TIME!
I hope you'll stay along for the ride and remember to <<subscribe to my email list>>, so you'll avoid missing any future posts! 😃💛
P.S. If you have any questions, concerns, or anything at all; contact me here.
Birger out. ✌💖
