Neverwinter Community Watch
The Community Watch is a recurring format on the weekends that summarizes interesting stories, forum posts, links and news in the Neverwinterverse that are worth reporting, but don’t warrant a full own post. Here’s what happened during the last week:
- User Katamaster818 invested some time to bring articles up to speed on the wiki. Thanks mate!

Thanks, Becky!
The podcast on the Foundry says a lot about what the Foundry community is thinking. Most are in self-imposed exile, playing other titles, taking their money elsewhere, that sort of thing. Missed opportunities for Cryptic and PWE really. It’s currently dormant because Cryptic decided to ignore it, not because the community abandoned the concept. I’ve shared the podcast with the Foundry community on Facebook, thanks for making it available here.
