What is Jabberwocky for NWN2?
Jabberwocky for NWN2 is a module project currently for NWN2 that gives you a playable version of the classic poem of the same name.
Jabberwocky allows the player to move through the poem as an adventure. Advancing the lines of the poem advances the story. Ever been curious what it would be like to battle the creature with jaws that bite and claws that catch? Well, now’s your chance! You (the player) take the part of the Boy coming home to find the populous terrorized by the mythical creature of the Tulgey Wood. Journey through the Highland Wilderness, perilous dungeons, stange and magical groves, and more in this exciting adventure.
What is the scope of this module?
Jabberwocky will be geared toward the shorter end of modules out there. The poem is pretty short and to the point, and so will the module. The player will have places to explore but do not expect an 80 hour campaign with mutiple cities and chapters. This ain’t that mod.
Is there a background or additional story for Jabberwocky?
TBA
What are some features in Jabberwocky?
Besides being educational (you are reading classic literature after all), Jabberwocky will feature lots of custom content from the NWN2 community, fantastic creatures to battle, mysterious locations to explore via the SoZ Overland Map system, and lots of secrets to uncover.
What creatures will the player face?
The player has a very good chance of being eaten by Slithy Toves, Borogoves, Jub Jub Birds, Mome Raths, and even a Bandersnatch! Oh, and don’t forget about the Jabberwock! The Highland Wilderness is also teaming with critters taken from classic english and celtic lore like giants, wisps, faeries, ghosts, goblins, and more. Watch your back…the Tulgey Wood can be a dangerous place…
What characters will the player meet?
Your home town of Sunderland is not the peaceful hamlet you knew as a boy. Those inhabitants that haven’t fled due to the increased monster attacks are a hard and surly lot. Each NPC is a memorable character with rich back stories and histories that intertwine with your own. Digging into their pasts is a rewarding and informitive endeavor. This is not however Wonderland…that is a different story, and as such characters from that tale will be kept to a minimum.
What kind of treasure can I find in Jabberwocky?
Jabberwocky is a low magic world where items of power feel powerful. You won’t find barrels with random +3 swords of awesome here. That magical sword will be hard won, but will feel special.
Is Jabberwocky designed for multiplayer?
The basic design of Jabberwocky is for a single player experience. You might be able to play the module in a multiplayer setting, but it will not be officially supported.
Can I create a party like in SoZ?
The poem makes little mention of anyone except the main character but there will be party play options available. The exact number of party members has yet to be finalized, but it will most likely be 3-5.
Will there be companions?
Yes. Jabberwocky will feature one companion that will join the player. This companion will be able to serve multiple class roles based on what the player needs.
What kind of custom content is being used?
Jabberwocky will feature lots of custom content from the community. Some notable authors are Robinson Workshop, Qk, Evil Edison, Little Baron, Bouncy Rock, and more.
When will this module be released?
When it’s done! HA!!
