Third-person RPG built on Dungeons & Dragons 3rd edition rules, set in the Forgotten Realms. You create a character and work through a campaign centered on the Wailing Death, a plague quarantining the city of Neverwinter. The main story involves collecting cure components, uncovering a cult conspiracy, and chasing magical artifacts called Words of Power across multiple cities. Combat and character progression follow D&D mechanics—classes, feats, spells, dice rolls under the hood. The engine was designed to let players host their own servers and run custom adventures, with toolsets for building modules and scripting encounters. You can play the official campaign solo with AI companions, join others online, or dungeon-master your own scenarios. Named after an earlier online RPG that ran on AOL in the '90s, though this is a standalone game.
