Great news! Tybae has worked his magic and organised the Golden Dragon winner IRC chats! So why not get over to the news threads and post your questions for the winners?

You can find more details and post your questions here:

NWN2 Chat, 13th September.

NWN1 Chat, 20th September

We have the latest in the Golden Dragon interview series up today…

Hugie won his second Golden Dragon award, this time for NWN2, with Moonshadows. We find out more on the module, what Hugie’s plans are now, and what happened to chapter II: read on.

Citadel picked up to Golden Dragon awards, for Best Adventure and Most Replayable module. Today we talk to the team behind Citadel, find out how they got together, and about some of the more unusual inspirations behind the module: read on.

We recently ran a poll on NWVault on which Golden Dragon interests people the most. We got some pretty interesting results – not necessarily matching what authors or panel members might like to win. Here’s the results from the poll on the Vault:

1. Best Roleplaying Module
2. Best Adventure Module
3. Best Custom Content
4. Most Replayable Module
5. Best Multiplayer Module
6. Best Tileset
7. Best PnP Conversion
8. Community Contribution
9. Debut Author
10. Best Action Module
11. Veteran Author
12. Best Sound/Music

Perhaps it’s not surprising that for the general community most of the module awards come top, but there are definitely a few surprises in there. If you didn’t get a chance to have your say (or you simply want to say it again), why not check out the poll here on the forums of AME? Or just post your comments there…

Title says it all really! You can get a bit more detail here on the Vault’s page regarding the patch…

This weekend, we should also have for you some more interviews with this year’s Golden Dragon Award winners, so don’t forget to check back.

Probably…

Yesterday we had the chat session with the finalists of the NWN1 Golden Dragon awards. It was a great session with around 30 people joining, including many of the nominees. Tybae held the whip this time, keeping folks in line as we ran through a whole range of community questions to the nominees…

Luckily, if you missed it, we have the whole log here, including a bit of the after-chat free-for-all which continued on for several hours…

We have also posted up AME, a look under the hood part V, which answers some more of the questions asked of AME by community members here on our forums.

The final patch for Neverwinter Nights is here – you can get it through the automatic updater or via http://nwn.bioware.com/ . The new patch is a giant one, and includes a bunch of fixes and technical improvements, but best of all, includes content from the premium modules Infinite Dungeons (new boss monsters), Pirates of the Sword Coast (new creatures and tilesets) and Wyvern Crown of Cormyr (New creatures, feats, prestige class, models, armour, cloaks and tilesets). The highlights are definitely the inclusion of the vast TNO rural/castle tilset, the wonderful Barrows and Fort Interior tilesets, and of course, lots and lots of horses.

Check it out!

Also, don’t forget to drop into the AME IRC channel for the chat with Golden Dragon nominees (see previous post)… we have a big attendance!

AME will be conducting another IRC chat, on the 12th of July. You’ll be able to ask your questions of some of the finalist authors of the 2007 NWN awards (and of course some of the AME panel too, who will also take questions)

Time: 4pm GMT, 12 noon EST
Date: Saturday 12th July
Channel: AME (hosted on the live.neverwinterconnections.com server)

The ‘look under the hood’ series continues, with answers from some of our panel members to questions posed by community members in this thread. If you’d like to ask AME something, why not post a question?
