NWNP Podcast Episode 189 – Neverwinter Foundry Author Round Table

Please join Ben AKA Aroen and Brian AKA Sir Brian, from NWN2 Realms of Trinity, as they host the first Neverwinter Author Round Table Series. We were joined by three very accomplished and talented Foundry Authors, Jeremiah AKA Ephirol, Scott AKA Docsc00ter, and S.S. White AKA Zeirlynn Kolde of the Scribe’s Enclave. This is a must listen to episode as we cover many Neverwinter topics for players and Foundry developers alike.

Zeirlynn Kolde

I started playing Neverwinter in February of 2013, in beta. I didn’t start making foundries until after Open Beta started, so May 2013. My quest line is titled Kolde Acres, not a campaign, just a line. I have two quests currently published, “Kolde Acres: A New Home,” and “Kolde Acres: Grandmother.” “Grandmother” is the one i’m most proud of, but it doesn’t get much love. “A New Home” is a bit simple and quick and people use it for dailies. I’ll be happy to discuss “A New Home,” because that quest was a transition from my very first quest, which was destroyed with the Fury of the Feywild module. When a lot of authors left the foundry because of that, i had the support of Scribes’ Enclave, so i stayed and rebuilt. But i’d mostly like to promote “Grandmother.”

Kolde Acres: Grandmother by @koldelegacy

Mission Type: Story, Lore
Average Duration: 37 minutes (depends on exploration and optional activities)
Amount of Combat: Light
Difficulty: Easy, Solo
Summary: Zeirlynn has been hurt, and needs the healing powers of her Grandmother, Athena, to survive. The farmers need someone to travel to her home, Cormanthor, and bring Athena back to Kolde Acres. Cormanthor is rich in beauty, as well as history to be discovered.

You can find info about all my quests on my Neverwinter forum thread, [UGC] Kolde Acres, at http://nw-forum.perfectworld.com/showthread.php?349262-UGC-Kolde-Acres.

Scribes’ Enclave stemmed from an idea mentioned on the forums by RedneckRonin, about a group of people dedicated to voluntarily reviewing quests. SE is more than just numbers though, it’s purpose is to help authors learn the editor and polish their quest. Our members, most of them, provide in depth feedback, not just stars and play counts. We made some changes to our recruiting process in November to ensure that it stays that way. As the foundry activity slows, so does our group, but we’re still going, and still growing with new recruits. Our site is http://scribesenclave.guildlaunch.com/. I’ve also recently added a sister site for listing quests in categories. That’s another idea that stemmed from conversations on the forums and with some of my colleagues. It’s gotten off to a slow start, but i think it will be beneficial once more people are aware of it. That site is called Neverwinter UGC, at http://neverwinterugc.guildlaunch.com/.
