Hardcore-horror fans, like me, should really check out the NWN1 module "Vampire - Heaven Defied" . It has an awesome story, atmoshpere and a lot of creepy and disgusting situations that all horror fans will love. ;) Here's my comment from back at the vault : "This is an awesome mature-horror mod. Certainly not for people below 18, if you ask me since it contains various scenes of blood, gore, sex,*bleep* etc. but that's all mentioned in the descripion. As a horror-story, this mod does the cake very well. I'm used to horror but some scenes in this mod made even me feel very uneasy and disgusted, so applause to that skill even though I am not a fan of too extreme horror, like the lighthouse eremite for example. That's nothing I'd like to include in a horror work I make myself, since I find it too goddamn disturbring. :D Still, its fine when it's other people's work and I enjoyed getting a bit freaked out while playing your mod. :) The story also...

Hey again everyone. You may have noticed the new main picture at the top of this page. Isn't it awesome? :) It's the same I am going to be using for a Site-Ad ( *the box with various news at the main-page ) back at the Nwvault . Its the same picture I had featured before but this shows a lot more of the portrait. It's called "The Elephants" and was painted by Salvador Dali many, MANY years ago. His paintings are very surreal and it fits the the theme of horror very well, I think. Thus it fits pretty well for this site. :) You may also notice some other differences. Below the angel-picture to your right you'll now see a Visitor statistics-counter . It'll be pretty cool to see how many people actually read this stuff. ;) And if you scroll up a bit again, past the Berra Productions (YouTube Movies) - item, you'll see another new item. You can choose to become one of my devoted fans by choosing to follow my blog there if you like. It'd be hig...

Hey again everyone. I installed NWN2 again on my computer today. I've only had the original NWN installed until now ... but, since I'd try getting something done for the BouncyRock- Halloween Event I figured it'd be best to install it again and finally getting started. I've actually been missing the game now when I think of it. :D I also downloaded and printed ( ! ) Gilthonym's "Don't Panic: The Hitchhiker's Guide to the NWN2 toolset" . It is really useful, easy to understand, easy to read and all in all ... avery well done document! It's about 132 pages ( !!!! ) (but not that much text on each page , thankfully) so now you may figure how devoted I am to finally learning the NWN2-toolset . ;) Now when it comes to the progress of my current projects for NWN1 : I've not been able to work that much on Insania Fabula but I have done a REALLY LARGE portion of a conversation that introduces various main-characters . I've decided t...

BouncyRock-Entertainment (former Stygius & Misery Stone sites for NWN2 ) has issued a NWN2-event with a halloween theme . I thought since I am as I'd like to call it, "the master of horror" , I thought that this is really something that I should try and tag along with. The point of this event is that each author has to create his or her own house in the NWN2-world and make it very halloween-ish with a lot of ghosts, vampires, mad-toothbrushes ( ? ) and loads of candy. ;) I have currently no idea what I'd like to do and I have currently not started to try and learn the toolset either. :( The end date for the halloween-event is the 13th of October and I hope I'll get something done until then. At least I hope so. If you have any kind of ideas of what could be featured in Berra's room, then please feel free to let me know! :) You can all read MORE about all of this on the BouncyRock Halloween Event-forum ! Berra out.

My new favorite horror-author buddy Sam Dramstad a.k.a. " Kelkesh12345" has created a Remastered version of his Madman at the Ruins! mod for NWN1 . :) The original was good. I gave it an 8.00 vote but the remastered version manages to create such strong atmoshpere that even though I had played the original and knew what would happen, I still got a bit scared and pretty much drawn into the story in a horrific (positively, mind you) way. I can imagine how it could feel if one plays the new version for the first time (without playing the original first). :) Creepy stuff. I gave the remastered version a 9.25 vote and I urge you all to go and CHECK IT OUT . A side note though: you can gain some secret stuff if you carry with you the Axeman's key from the original mod and use it in the remastered version. Also, my fellow artist Archon (who created the CbtS wallpaper and the SH2 artwork ) has done a lot of progress on his DarkSun's Glare comic. It's a comic...

My fellow player/voter/artist Archon who made the Calm before the Storm Wallpaper to celebrate the release of CbtS (REMAKE) has just submitted his latest artwork to his website! This time, it's for Surviving Horror 2 ! I won't be ranting any more about it here, instead go to his pictures and give him your thoughts and comments RIGHT AWAY!! REMEMBER: YOU CAN COMMENT AS AN ANONYMOUS USER AS WELL! HERE'S THE LINK TO THE NEWS! HERE'S THE LINK TO THE CALM BEFORE THE STORM WALLPAPER! HERE'S THE LINK TO THE NEW SURVIVING HORROR 2 ARTWORK! I just KNOW you're all gonna love it. ;) Berra out.

Hey there eveyone. I recently played a very under-rated * module called "Mummy Dust" for NWN1 and I enjoyed it pretty much. So much that I gave it a 8.75 vote . The sad thing is that it was made way back in the end of 2004 and still no one had voted! It had about 380 downloads but no VOTES! Outrageous if you ask me. I urge you all to go and try it out . *an excellent module with few votes Here's my comment back at the vault : "Such a pity that no one has ever rated this mod. It's great! It has a very unique feeling to it and uses custom items/systems very well. One example is the ring. It is not just used for teleport but will help in certain puzzles as well! It ends up being a bit frustrating and very challenging at times since you have to be very precise in your movements and must have knowledge of exactly what you can and cannot click on in the NWN game. But I chose to oversee some of these elements since these elements tends to get pretty fun as well, ...
