Though adding to or adding more haks isn't a goal or really enjoyable for me, there are times its worth the effort. Even though I've just updated our current haks and expanded the list, some things are just too good to overlook as time goes on. So if folks know of something we might need or want, feel free to post the details here.
Tilesets: Some tilesets, despite how -nice- they may look are often rife with pathfinding issues or simply have hi-res textures that don't always play nicely with older computers (that more than a few here still use to play). Most tilesets also need to have multiple uses to be considered. I.e., with very, very few exceptions, we have to envision how a new tileset will be used to create several new areas.
Equipment, including weapons and armor or clothing: New and unique options are always great, but often the available models are for a single race or sex and not availble to all PCs. New options that are inclusive are preferred. One personal goal of mine is to fill in existing gaps by making rescaled versions of current options that are limited to one or a few races/sexes only. Work on this isn't scheduled until early 2015 at best though.
Heads: New heads are always sought after. However, in NWN only 200 can be used for PCs. Humans/Half Elven options are pretty well maxed out already. New head options for other races can be considered.
Creatures: New creature appearances need to be unique, not just variants of our existing options ... usually. Things like humanoids and demi-human appearances that greatly differ from current options are fine. Example: While we've a ton of options for goblins, orcs, bugbears, etc... new and unique versions are always worth considering.
Placeables: new placeable appearances are like creatures in that they need to be unique as well as fit into our theme here.
Custom Spells, PrCs or Feats: These need extensive testing, hak editting and scripting in most cases. Current work on additions is being delayed until sometime in early 2015 due to time constraints.
Content from other PWs/Modules that is not available from other sources will generally not be considered. Exceptions are when the PW/Module creator has given express permission for others to use their work as they see fit. An example would be the haks used for the PW "Arbor Falls". Their creator, Lord of Worms, gave us permission a few years ago to use whatever we desired ... and we have.
