If you bought Neverwinter Nights 2 in the December 2010 Steam Sale, or if you bought the original years before, we're going to try and set up at least one multiplayer campaign. Feel free to post here with your availability (including time zone).
The D&D tabletop type of game is running Sunday 8:30pm EST. There is a potential to switch to Saturday, but currently still going on Sunday.

I played one of the NWN a long time ago but only single player, this would be my first MP attempt.
I currently own the December 2010 Steam Sale Version (Platinum, if I recall).
I haven't played WOW or anything MMO related, so feel free to explain what a PVP and PV-something means before you bash my skull.
I'll take a look at the links provided in the OP to learn some of the lingo.
Monday through Thursday are my surest bet, anytime after 8.00pm -EST
In the interest of coordination, could we all mention time availability in EST so I don't have to do time-math?
So... here's the interest list. Remember, I think it's 6 people to a party (if we're playing the vanilla storyline), so we may need to get multiple games going. I'm pretty much available whenever.
Ghostship
Citizen86
Xeknos
Hobbes2099
SpyNavy
Running Man
LockandLoad
Blotto The Clown
Minarchist
StupidHaiku
duckilama
duckideva
Which is perfect; depending on what we do, we have enough for two different vanilla groups.
I'm actually ok with either, though it would have to fit my schedule. I doubt I'd be able to realistically do either more than once or twice a week. I can do weekdays after 7 eastern if absolutely necessary, but prefer any time on weekends.
Put me down on the OC list. Once I see how much I can enjoy the OC (in MP), how much time I have available I'll see if I venture into the deeper side of the pool.
Maybe we should start separating those who want to do a D&D type campaign with roleplaying, and those who want to co-op the OC casually.
In that case, when you confirm your availability, please also state what game type you'd like to play:
DND:
Ghostship
Casual Co-op:
Xeknos
Hobbes2099
TBD:
Citizen86
SpyNavy
Running Man
LockandLoad
Blotto The Clown
Minarchist
StupidHaiku

Noob question: Does the Mac version (not on Steam) do all these MP stuff as well? Or is it only the SP game? Can you use the expansions/user-generated content with NW2 on Mac?
So I only have the original and The storm of zehir... Does not having all the expansions exclude me?
also doing the family Xmas tour so I won't be available for another week I am guessing
It sounds like we'd be playing the OC, so Mask of the Betrayer isn't needed -- though you may need it if we decide to continue the campaign and import our characters.
It sounds like Ghostship will be a hell of a DM, so put me down for DND campaign. I work some weeknights, and when I'm off I don't play til the kids are in bed at 8:00 mountain (10:00 eastern). Sundays are my most predictable night, and Saturday night would be second choice.
I should probably start in the OC, just to get my feet wet. How is the SP experience for getting a feel for the game?
I would certainly love to give this a shot at some point. If you already have enough/too many people this time around, that's fine. Just put me on a list for the future and PM me if there's an open spot.
The way we solved the problem with our earlier experiments in online d&ding was to use voice for non-character chat, while character chat went in the box. That way we get to use voice for random questions, etc. while keeping the game focused and helps separate the game from the "behind the scenes" chatter.
I'd love to participate. I've only ever done the campaign, and though I've never done it terribly roleplay-y, I'd be up for trying. Sunday evenings also works for my schedule.
Okay then. My group: full costume.
an interesting insight into online roleplaying
I happen to love tabletop roleplaying, but I agree that it is potentially very different than an online experience - and that's not always positive. Of course, I also do not suffer from RP shame, so...that may affect my outlook. In any case, I'm game for a more RP-focused game.
Maybe we should cast our nets for potential DMs? That's certainly the more limited resource.
Okay then. My group: full costume.
I will bring the candles and mead.
Which list would you like to be on?
Sorry, Ghost, I wasn't being clear - but you figured correctly, I was talking about an RP focused game with a DM.
I jumped on the steam sale for NWN2 platinum. I would like to get involved in some Coop or DnD game. The preferred night is Sunday after 8pm EST. Bioware name is the same as GWJ.
Okay then. My group: full costume.
Thank goodness my character is a druid.
