Neverwinter Foundry meets FRUA
Neverwinter Foundry remakes.
New projects have been added to the Fall/Winter 2023 release schedule. These projects are remakes of some of my Neverwinter MMO Foundries in the Forgotten Realms Unlimited Adventures build set.
For those of you who don't know, the Neverwinter MMO Foundry was active from the release of the MMO in 2013 until it was shut down in 2019 due to Cryptic (the company running it) not having the people to maintain it anymore. A similar Foundry for their Star Trek game was shut down at the same time. There are other theories such as them not being able to monetize the Foundry to blame for the shutdown. Some people that you can find online are still hoping for a return of the Foundry. So would I. So I could go in and make a record of everything. However, that almost certainly won't happen and we are now right at the 4 year anniversary of the Foundry being shut down and at the 10 year mark since I created those stories.
Enter the Forgotten Realms Unlimited Adventures build set. This is a 30 year old SSI production and is their developmental tools that were released as a 'game' when they lost their D&D license. It has had an active community since 1993, or 30 years as of this year. There are a minimum of 600 adventures made for it that can be played, but an exhaustive list, no matter how complete, will almost certainly never be complete. The system is old, but solid, and it can be bought from Steam or GOG as part of the Gold Box collection. FRUA is the system I've choosen to rebuild some of my Foundries in.
The Foundries I'm rebuilding, and have mostly rebuilt already, are my Stopping Leland campaign and the BeoWolf stand alone. These are the most original stories I made in the Foundry and the ones that don't use any of my other characters that appear elsewhere such as Ott and Ren. They also each won a 'Screenshot of the Week' with the two shots below. The three part Stopping Leland is already built and undergoing debugging. BeoWolf has been started on but will be pushed forward until 2024 since so much stuff is already queued for 2023.
There will be more info on these projects later in the year.
