Hey everyone, I've got some great news! 😃 It's not just FRIDAY but you're also going to get a NEW NWN-RPG from Birger (yeah, that's me 😋)!  All of this thanks to my incredible patrons back at my Patreon-page which helped us all to reach the first Patreon Goal! Click on the image to ENLARGE.   I have promised that for each Patreon-goal that is reached, I will develop a new Neverwinter Nights RPG and release it to neverwintervault.org, completely for free.  I'll release the Enhanced Edition of Surviving Horror 1 first though, since that's already in the works. Decide Birger's next NWN-RPG Story   Yeah, that's right -- what the heading just said, up there -- above. 👆😁 I want YOU to decide what kind of story you want to see next.  Normally, this kind of decision is exclusive only for my  Platinum patrons back on Patreon ( one of the recently added Platinum rewards is to also receive my unfinished NWN-modules Insania Fabula and Puppet Masters ...

Hey everyone! 👋😃 I hope everything is well with you and if not, then I want you to know that I'm sending positive energy your way -- right now! 😊💛 PROGRESS, CELEBRATION & NEW BIRGER NWN ADVENTURES So, what's been going on since last time we met? I've worked quite a bit on improving and tweaking my  Patreon-page and I've FINALLY found some time to write on my E-book  " Surviving Horror 1" ! 😋 There's actually a public sneak peak  for its prologue that you can check out here . I'm really proud of what my first book is turning into! 😊 Another thing that is worth celebrating: I've gotten my first 2 Patrons! 😍 As you may, or may not  heard before -- I've promised to develop and release a shorter Neverwinter Nights Adventure when each of my 10 Patreon Goals are reached .  Thanks to the pledge of my first 2 patrons (THANK YOU once again for your support -- I'm truly grateful!), we've moved a lot closer to reaching GOAL 1 (see...

Hey everyone, hope you're all doing well! 😊✌ I'd like to start this post by especially welcoming all my new follower's on Facebook!  😀  If you're one of my new followers: I warmly welcome you to my Neverwinter Nights adventure- & E-book corner . 😊💙  For anyone that is totally new here: I made Neverwinter Nights adventures between the years 2003-2009 and currently plan to write E-book versions of them . 😃  If you're one of my new Facebook followers and you've played any of my NWN modules in the past, I'd love to know more about your experiences in the comments of this post! 😊👇 Surviving Horror 1: Enhanced Edition PROGRESS Updating Surviving Horror 1 for the Neverwinter Nights: Enhanced Edition goes well.  I've completely redesigned a couple of areas, altered how some stuff works and fixed a bunch of bugs.  Some things in the adventure haven't really aged well and with this update I really want you guys to have a proper experience! 😊✨ T...

Hi everyone 😀 Yeah, you read that right -- another one of my modules is getting the EE-treatment (= is being updated to work with  Neverwinter Nights: Enhanced Edition ) 😋 Since I currently have plans to write an E-book version of Surviving Horror 1 , I wanted to update myself regarding the story and areas of the adventure.  So, naturally - I found the best way to do that would be to actually play through it again (who would've thought!). 😄 I had actually forgotten how thick the atmosphere is in SH1... I love it! To my shock, though - I wasn't even able to get to the second area because the area transitions were all broken! 😅  This was actually my first time booting up SH1 in many years and I had NO IDEA this had happened. I'm so sorry for anyone who has tried playing it but haven't been able to! 😔💛 I thought to myself:  "Man, I can't just leave it like this... even though it probably works with the Diamond / Original version of Neverwinter Nights, but...

Hey everyone 😊, I hope everything is well with you, especially considering the current state of the world, and if you're having a tough time -- I send both power and positive energy your way! 💛 BLOG ANNIVERSARY Today, I'm having the great honor to write this blog's 100th post ( maan , how time has flown!). Yeah, it's been that many posts since I started this blog way back in 2008.  I did a bunch of posts before that on my old NWN blog though, which you can find a link to at the Blog-archive, at the bottom of this blog , in case you want to read about the development of Surviving Horror 2 , it's Beta-test or some other old-school stuff.  NEW BLOG LAYOUT (1-3) I've also updated the blog's layout , in order to make the blog work better for you all on both desktop AND  mobile .

Hey everyone, glad you wanted to pay me a visit :) As you may or may not know, I wrote and designed NWN modules between the years 2003-2009 , and I've had a nagging feeling for a long time that I want to do something more with them.  But what,  has been the main question. I've finally come to a conclusion: I'm going to write e-book versions of them . And this is going to be the place where I tell you about it.  But what about the PC-character? Players have made their own hero or heroine while playing my NWN mods, so how would this take form within an e-book? Well, I need to cement some kind of main character in order for an E-book format to work.  I've reflected upon this a lot as well, and when it comes to other games, I usually tend to use the same name for my characters. And especially when it comes to the Mass Effect & Dragon Age games.  A recurring name, which I actually used for the very first time in NWN (namely in  Stefan Gagne's The ...
