Yes, it does seem like Trollocs will be invading Faerûn soon, as the creator of the creatures you see above is expecting a release by the end of this October. Trollocs are – for those of you who are not familiar with them – large, evil man/animal hybrids and servants of the Dark One in Robert Jordan’s The Wheel of Time series of fantasy books. Not the nicest of chaps, in other words. The developer of the mod, Lanndon Blackmon, also revealed that he is currently working on a WoT total conversion for ‘Neverwinter Nights 2′. You can read his announcement here.

The Town of Hopeless
Some of you may remember the cult game `Planescape: Torment´. Taking place in the same outlandish setting is the `The Planescape Trilogy´ by Rogue Dao Studios. Developed for the `Neverwinter Nights II´ engine, this massive three part modification is currently making steady progress judging by the animations and screenshots in their recent update.
Modron
A number of months ago a demo was released to the public, if you wish to try it you can find the `Purgatorio Demo´ here. Their official forums are located here, where you can find more images and details on the modification.

`Icewind Dale´ is one of those often overlooked games. Not because it is bad, quite the contrary, it is a perfectly formed gem of an RPG, unfortunately it has always been overshadowed by it’s famous big brother `Baldur’s Gate I & II´.
Easthaven
A small team, which is still being gathered, has decided to bring this wonderful game to a new audience by updating it to a newer 3D engine, `Neverwinter Nights II´. Massive progress has already been made and a Beta release of Chapter I is currently available. If you wish to join in on the testing or just curious about the game then you can find the relevant files here.

Back in 1998 a 2D isometric game was released called `Baldur’s Gate´ it became an instant hit and spawned many sequels, spin-offs and expansions such as `Icewind Dale´, `Tales of the Sword Coast´ and the immensely popular `Baldur’s Gate II´. A small team of modders have set upon the task of updating the much loved classic `Baldur’s Gate´ story to the superior 3D `Neverwinter Nights II´ engine.
