Welcome Roleplayers!
The Prisoners of the Mist Team is pleased to announce the next
"Play A New Character Event" (NCE) will be held this Halloween, from
Thursday 31st October through Saturday 9th November.Whether you're completely new to gothic horror, or an inveterate member of the community, we'd like to invite you all to roll up a new character, meet new people, find fresh perspectives and start creating new stories together.
NCE takes place in West Barovia (everywhere west of Svalich Pass). There you'll find only characters that enter the game world for the first time during the event - which means everyone you meet will be around the same low level as you are. NCE is a great time to try out a new concept, or, if you're new to Prisoners of the Mists, experience it for the first time.
Expect plenty of special DM events and stories, and of course lots of thrills and chills from a cast of Atmospheric Monstrous Player Characters! (AMPCs) throughout the NCE.
Please keep an eye on this topic for further information and announcements as the date draws nearer.
We look forward to seeing you in the mists.

Useful Info- If you are entirely new to NWN, Ravenloft or immersive roleplay, we have a FAQ
- For those new to the server looking for basic info about how to actually play, get all info here
- You can create a character ahead of time, so long as you don't enter the game world with them through the intro cutscene
- It will be possible to 'convert' existing characters for NCE using the Iron Maiden in the OOC Hall - at the cost of all XP and items
- Remember that while finding people to revive a friend or the sufficient gold to have an NPC do it will be hard during the event, the XP loss of using the shaft of light in the Near Ethereal to restore you to life is very small at lower levels.
- All pre-existing characters have their saved locations moved to outside the NCE area for the duration of the event.
- Rentals will be extended by three weeks to make up for the time they won't be accessible
Special Rules for the event:- Players in a Faction can make a new character of that same Faction for the event. Exceptions are the Ba'al Verzi, Dawnslayers, Van Ritchen Society and the Fraternity of Shadows factions.
- Players of an active MPC or AMPC can make a new event-specific AMPC
- As noted above, you can apply for an event-specific AMPC with a duration of the event. AMPCs will have the option to apply for a post-event extension towards the end of the event. The cut off date to submit applications is October 20th; Please include your usual time zone of play. We will be accepting about ten AMPCs this go round, so NCE is the best time to try your hand at running an AMPC if you've never done it before!
- Participation is completely voluntary, and you can continue to play your pre-NCE character outside of East Barovia, but you have to come up with the reason they've relocated on your own!
