Alright so with the recent LP's of some nice part based Rpg's, I thought I would have a go at Icewind dale, since the last one didn't finish the game If I remember correctly. And also that it will be nice to do a game with little dialogue which will make it easier to do, also dialogue text that can be screen shoted instead of having to take notes which is quite exhausting.

I plan to play through both Icewind dale games, with the expansion for the first one as well. I have played the original game, so that should be fairly easy, however I havn't played through the expansion and the second game so that may get fairly bloody. Especially since I'm not very familiar with the 3:ed rules used in that game.

Any way before we start there are two things required.

1. We need a crew of meat shields brave adventurers!

2. I need to figure out how to introduce new characters at the appropriate level as the old ones meet an extremely painful untimely end cease to adventure with us. Using multiplayer mode should work, but I need to be able to create new characters at the full xp of the others, so knowledge on how to do this is required. Contribute this knowledge for the cause if you have it.

Rules
Alright let's get the first part sorted. I'm going to use the same rules as Uluminati on his ToEE playthrough. That is only reload on total party kill, other wise just push on and recruit new characters as needed, however this may only be done in a town. Eventually we will probably get some one that can resurrect, but thats a long way off as we start at level 1.

Also If your character dies, feel free to re submit it. Though make any changes to it you would like, different but similar characters may lead to additional humorous content.

Charcters
So make your characters. 85 stat points to distribute freely among the stats. State your class and your race, and if you like post a portrait that you would like. Also alignment is needed. That should be all that is needed here.

No monks in this game I'm afraid. You'll have to pick a different class, or wait to IWD 2. Which is a while away.

Well you reload if the main character dies he does not, and I'm so hardcore that I do the same. :D Though it seems you were the first do this, credit where credits due.

First update on the way just gonna upload screen shots and write the fluff. I've played all the way trough the orc caves so far right up till your ready to set out on the expedition.

FFS, i should really put that as my avatar

Which reminds me... someone should finally upload the full fucking set of IWD 1/2 portraits as avatars.

Cleric/mage

Some bearded dude who is srs bzness would work as a portrait.

Good luck!

Wait for icewind 2 then.
