In the current crowded marketplace, the Foundry is really what sets Neverwinter apart from other MMOs. If years of gaming have taught me anything, it's that player driven content is what creates peoples attachment to a game, and/or it's community. Will I make my own content through the Foundry, of course, I'd be crazy not to try. As far as playing the communities content, I think that will be one of the more interesting parts of playing. Being able to see what other peoples vision for the game world is what has brought me back to other games with similar tools (LBP, etc)

Yes! This, for me, is the most antecipated game feature of the decade! I would love to create content and play with my friends! I just cant wait to try it.
Expect me to both try out multiple Foundry content as well as create my own. Im an old school in depth DM. The foundry idea here has been described as even more in depth then any other adventure creation content developed. Expect my dungeon to cater both to individual classes for personal accomplishment as well as dungeons that must be completed as a party endeavor. Im talking specifically meant for rogues or if your a rogue or a mage alone you wont complete a dungeon without a fighter.

I will definetly try them, I think some people can make really nice stuff, sometimes even better then the developers could! ( you should scout these and ask them for tips for future content ;P )
I might even try to make some myself if I will feel up to the challenge
We're back with another comment to win contest. The Foundry will grant you access to new adventurers in Neverwinter. Will you try content made by other players? Will you create new adventures yourself?
One winner will win a Guardian of Neverwinter Pack and guaranteed access to our next Beta Weekend on March 8, 2013.
This contest will end Friday, February 15th, at 12pm PST (Pacific).
I agree with others. It is a huge draw for the game. I will play content from other players and will try my hand as well. It's always a great experience to delve into the imagination of other gamers. I can't wait!!

Who won't? I mean, most of the times, players have a different imagination from the devs, and comes up with "better ideas" ( not always balanced though), and plus, it'll be the time for our d&d mates to create our own "worlds"

I will without question be using content made in the Foundry and also creating content. Foundry is a great addition to the game and would not want to miss out.
The Foundry has been a huge success in Star Trek Online and I can see it being so again in Neverwinter. It adds so much more to the game and player created adventures are the backbone of any D&D game.
OMG yesss! I shall create a Let's Play series based around it!

Honestly, I think the Foundry is the single greatest pull this game has. Giving the players tools to create their own content is an ingenious move and will be a breath of fresh air in the MMO industry. With a robust creation system like this one, and a good rating system to weed out the duds I can see a huge amount of great content constantly being generated. Also, it seems like the foundry content isn't tied to level, which will really help to keep the game fresh, even after leveling.
LOVE the ability to play these missions and can't wait to actually start creating them myself.

Yes, and yes. Access to creation tools was always one of the things that set Neverwinter Nights apart, and I'm very excited about this latest incarnation.

Yes to both!The foundry will play a major role in Neverwinter and i would love to create and test adventures made by others!
I'm very excited to both play and develop Foundry content. I love that you are making the Foundry free (other than leveling up a bit o gain access) - that should really increase the contribution level!

I am really looking forward to the foundry. Creating dungeons that my friends can be sent into sounds like a blast. Who doesn't want to try their hand at sending their friends to their demise.
Of course i'll play, cant wait to see what some of the players can cook up, hell i might as well give it a try also and see what i can do with it althou i can't promise mine will make any kind of sense XD

BOTH! I plan to pick up some adventures from long ago, that a friend and I GM'ed using the NWN toolset! We would half-and-half the scripting and GM controlled NPCs to guide people along. For instance, while my friend would take over a barkeep and talk with the ragtag crew of adventurers, he'd be telling them of treasures or beasts in a land in a particular direction. Whilst he was doing so, I would be off in said zone, prepping for the team. I'd have some scripted things ready to plop into place, but I also would be able to control things as the adventurers came through. Then, once the team headed my direction, my friend GM would then be able to head elsewhere to prep the next area while I kept them entertained in the zone I had prepared. All to guide them along in a story we had come up with that day at work during lunch!
Favorite memory from these play sessions: Another friend of ours was in our game one day - and he found a particular rock in the forest to be of great interest. I had not intended it to pique his curiosity, so when he asked "do I see anything strange about this rock" etc, I said no. He persisted, and asked about the rock in any way possible. I kept saying NO there's nothing there. I was trying to guide them to the east end of the zone to fight a monster. Finally after his persistence would obviously not relent, I waited for his next action. He said "I rub the rock fondly" - right then and there I dropped about 15 vampires and a few minotaur all around the team. BWAHAHA!! The team of course was wiped out - but fortunately the GMs had the ability to roll back a ways... once I did the GM gods yelled out in all caps: "THERE'S NOTHING IN THE ROCK"!!!
Ahhhh fun times.... sure hope we can continue those stories! I can't wait to see what the Foundry will allow us to create, not to mention the ability to explore never ending story lines with user-created content!
As DnD fan i really like you can build more customized role playing experience whit foundry, and you can even make your own and your friends role playing experience special and customize it to be what you would want do. It would make easyer make new characters and leveling those because you dont allways need do same things again and again. Allso i think it would be nice have some sort of leader board of those to make people have little healthy competion against other players, it could have like set to pick sertain items or how few deaths happened while doing it. Just ideas to it , and i would play brains out other players things to see just what cool things they have made.
I have experience with the STO foundry... and from what i have seen in videos, The Neverwinter Foundry looks the same. I have a note pad full of home made D&D adventures i wrote years ago.. and will be adding them to the Neverwinter foundry as soon as it goes live!

I will be doing both creating and playing other user's created content. I already create a ton of stuff for Everquest, and I was also a avid GM of the original Neverwinter nights, we used it for some long distance gaming with my gaming group when people where away for work trips.
