Subsection Updates -> Fantasy Books

A number of changes/additions have been made throughout the whole Fantasy Books section. Most notably, I have replaced about a dozen hardcover book links with their paperback variants, where they were available. (The newest books in any of the series, usually.)

I have also replaced some old links with newer releases of the books. In the J.R.R. Tolkien Books subsection, I've now grouped the boxed sets and one volume editions separately. In the 3rd Edition D&D Books subsection, I've added the revised Star Wars RPG rulebook to Various Accessories.

Subsection Updates - Games -> Baldur's Gate

In the Walkthroughs & Guides subsection you can find an updated version of the BG + ToSC walkthrough.

Subsection Updates - Games -> Planescape: Torment

Also only one new addition here, this time in the Miscellanea subsection. You can download a pack of NPC banter, nicely arranged in mp3 files.

Subsection Updates - Games -> Icewind Dale

Another single addition was made here, the updated HoW Spells Guide in the Tips, Tricks & Hints subsection.

Subsection Updates - Games -> Baldur's Gate 2

You can find two new guides in the Tips, Tricks & Hints subsection, both by Gopher. (Item making and spell making.)

In the Editors, Hacks & Custom Characters subsection #5 is an updated version of TBR's Fantasy Portrait pack.

Jumping to the TeamBG subsection, you'll find a link to the new Shadows Over Soubar unofficial addon and Exnem's addon.

Subsection Updates - Games -> Icewind Dale 2

In the Walkthroughs & Guides subsection I've added 3 new additions. First is the updated Clerics Info Compilation, which now holds the final list of clerical domain spells. Second is a listing of known (only 2 at this point) pre-made parties that will ship with the game, and third my compilation of a screenshot cut-out and a developer's post explaining how the weapon combos in the game's new interface work.

In the Editors, Hacks & Custom Characters subsection you'll find an adaptation of TBR's BG2 portrait pack.

Finally, if you check the Screenshots subsection, you will be able to see 9 new screenshots.

Subsection Updates - Games -> Neverwinter Nights

Well, this one has kept me busy for a while recently... There are literally tons of content coming in for this game and, of course, we're here to pick out the best and present it to you.

In the Walkthroughs & Guides subsection we now have what you've all been waiting for, actual walkthroughs!

Two of them are downloadable (one complete), and we link to one at BioWare as well (up to Chapter 1 only). I've also placed a link to ShadeRaven's player guides here.

I've already had to split the Tips, Tricks & Hints subsection in two due to the massive amount of stuff available here. Added in this update are a guide to sorcerers, a certain Chapter 2 device, an extensive list of cheats for all you cheating monkeys and a downloadable list of secrets and similar.

Lower down on the same page is a link to the very popular Infogrames' support page (unfortunately), a listing of game's known issues, the technical FAQ, info on how to manually patch the game, an intro to the DM client and a short guide on making portraits. (Whew!)

Also split in two is the Editors, Hacks & Tweaks subsection. Here you can find a chapter unlocker, a true-to-3e ruleset-only module, NWN Viewer and Packer and BioWare's Linux dedicated server package.

You'll also find a couple of new models & animations for the model viewer here.

The Toolset & Related subsection follows the popular trend. New is the Module Construction Tutorial, 3 tilesets (Drylands, Desert, Winter) and a NWScript Functions document.

Two new modules can be found in the Modules subsection, namely The Golden Dragon and Servants of the Spider Queen.

Lastly, there are 3 new additions in the Miscellanea subsection. The Maxim ad girl we posted on the front page has been archived here, and newly added is the printable NWN Voice Chat reference card. Also, fresh from my inbox, Karnak has sent me another of his NWN flash parodies to make you all laugh. You can download it from the Movies & Trailers page.
