Planet Neverwinter has posted and exclusive interview with several of the developers of Neverwinter Nights. Some players from the Bioware Dungeons and Dragons playgroup got together to discuss their own experiences playing the game. Here's a short excerpt from this entertaining interview.

Bob McCabe (Writing and Design-Neverwinter Nights): We've certainly had quite a few humorous moments during our game. Preston has a couple of good ones he wants me to relay. The first came during one of our early battles, when we were still working out the rules. During a battle, Grin tried to fire past Richard with his light crossbow, to hit a creature. We determined that he missed, and actually struck Richard in the back, with the hit killing him; what a way to go! After a round or two of combat, while Preston researched the next character he was to play, we realized the hit was made in error, and so we reset time. Since Grin had not officially killed anyone, he therefore tried the risky shot again, this time firing from behind me. 8 points of damage to my rear-side later, we thereafter banned Grin from using his crossbow anywhere near the party.
