About TBP

The Builders Project is a Neverwinter Nights support guild, a group of over 1000 people who have set aside their time to assist people in learning how to make the machine that is NWN purr and growl. People with talents ranging from Module design, NWscript gurus, Custom Content fiends, Persistent World Veterans and Single Player Devotees. The major focus of the guild is to make our members into better module builders by supplying resources, creative support and the odd bit of troubleshooting wherever needed.

These attributes are perhaps best reflected in our Guild Objectives:

• To reach as many new mod builders as possible and get them educated in the use of the NWN Toolset. We want to do this within the framework of the membership, but we see no reason to make any info published by the guild private in any way.
• To provide a support system for mod builders.
• To gather, pool and make available any resources we encounter regarding mod building, with the intent of aiding our members in the pursuit of mod building.
• To provide a means of sharing knowledge and experience in mod building, foster an atmosphere of collective education, and further the purpose of making our membership competent and capable builders.
• Module building also includes maintaining. We will provide documents and resources to help builders maintain their PW's or modules.

In order to facilitate our goals the guild is loosely divided into departments. Members may opt to assist in one or more departments from time to time, and may be present within more than one department simultaneously. The departments are really only there for you. The Builders Project accepts all members without regard to knowledge or skill, from people who have just removed the shrinkwrapping from the Neverwinter Nights box, to those who are acknowledged 'masters' of the game. Each department has a different function in itself. However, when pooled together they form the nucleus of the Guild Objectives:

Membership

Guild Resources

Quality Assurance

Project Development

Module Play Testing

Each of the links above will take you into the world of that department, outlining what they specialise in, what is currently being undertaken, and some explanation as to what the future holds. Members are encouraged to join any department in which they are interested, keeping in mind that skill or experience is not a factor. We are here to teach people in every aspect that we can and that you are willing to learn.

Welcome one and all to The Builders Project

So now that we have at least a loose approximation of how The Builders Project is run and what its all about, who is actually running this ship of fools? The short answer to that is the guild leader, Rubberducky. However, Rubberducky is firmly democratic and the one thing that we really crave here is input from members of all stripes. Most decisions are the result of a vote by the guild council which consists of the officers of the guild, usually department heads, and of course at most meetings everyone is welcome to join in the discussions and voting. In addition to that, each member of the guild has a page on this website which they can use however they see fit, and as a jumping point to create more pages, as well as the image and file galleries available to all members here.
