What Sinfar is about

What is actually going on here?

Sinfar is a multi-server community of like minded indivduals playing Bioware/Beamdog's Neverwinter Nights in a shared server environment.

What do you offer here?

Here on Sinfar we cater to adult playstyles offering PvE, PvP, crafting, housing, RP and Social engagement with our broader community of players.

I've new to Neverwinter nights RP, how do you do that?

At the very basic level, situations that happen In Character (IC), should remain and be considered IC; and experiences that happen Out of Character (OOC), should stay OOC.

IC behavior can be defined as: -Things your character, not you; the player, is saying; and doing. Dialogue, and conversations between two, or more characters concerning events, and casual situations happening to or around those characters. This includes emotes as well; which detail the actions that your character is making. -Emotes typically convey actions your character is taking. Waving hello could be written in the chat window as *waves hello*; ***Waves hello.*** or some other combination of markers to denote the text that's actually being emoted.

OOC behavior can be defined as: -You, the player's comments, and additions to a conversation. Your character doesn't say this, and this should never be taken in RP as something that another character says. -OOC statements are almost all begun with // to denote something is Out of Character. -OOC comments should be kept to a minimum in public channels; this interrupts the flow of what's going on, and can be very disruptive to others around the ooc situation.

Game Settings

How can I log into Sinfar to get the code I need to register on the forum if to log into Sinfar I need special Hak files to get in?

The welcome room is a buffer module that players log into the first time they connect to the game, no haks are needed in this area, this is also the same area where you can get your secret log in code for this forum.

Why do I need a special code to register on this forum?

The context of this forum assumes you have a copy of Neverwinter Nights 1.69 (Diamond) that you can use to play Sinfar, this also functions as a security feature that proves your a human not a bot.

I am very interested in playing on Sinfar where can I get a copy of Neverwinter Nights so I can play?

Neverwinter Nights is currently for sale at places like Steam, Gog, and Itch.io. All 3 sites offer the game for sale. Currently, Sinfar uses the Neverwinter Nights Diamond edition which is only available as an add on download from Gog at the moment. However in late 2026, Sinfar is expected to migrate to the EE edition currently sold by Beamdog on all major sites. Whats so special about such an old game? Why do people even come here to play? Why would it be worth all the trouble?

NWN mods are not like other game mods. A typical mod alters the main campaign of whatever game its tied to, while a NWN Module (.mod) is basically a game within itself. Modders can use hakpacks to add in custom content to their Modules. Therefore, servers like Sinfar are like mini MMOs. The module is a custom world with custom scripts and features, that contains hakpacks which add all the extra-engine content (The stuff you can't get right out of the box, like adult animations.) This makes Sinfar a very NEW game in its own right. It is supported and updated with new content regularly and its content is created by players for players in an active community.

If Sinfar is like its own mini MMO how much do I have to pay to play there?

Sinfar is free to play.
