 NPC generalization is easy enough once you realize how it works. You can even make the stock noble spawns a villain/assassin target in your storyline if done right.

I would actually say just putting a little OOC note in the first post of the IC thread Gears to inform people what you're looking for. In my honest opinion, a thread dedicated to it in the Neverwinter forums will grow stale and die; and trying to work between two threads will just become too much of a hassle. Taking the info on an IC post will help in finding people who are legitimately interested in participating in the RP you have to offer.

What did you mean by work between two threads?

I've heard a lot of rumblings from time to time about people not keeping up on a story arc because they don't have the time on hand to get involved in a story or even more common that they don't want to get involved because they feel like doing so will interrupt everything and they feel like they're intruding.

I feel it would work a lot like the "guild thread" where people could see what others are up to and get involved.

I suppose to best convey what I'm trying to see about is a rough outline of a plot in a thread which if people scan through and find interesting, they can ask whoever is involved if it's still running. Even more, everyone knows a lot of plots fall to the wayside and don't get finished. Some forgotten completely. I would say aside from the initial posting, about the only thing that would need done would be an edit saying the plot has been finished up once things run their course.

 Well, all the info can be stored on the first page of the IC thread, no?

If you start a thread in the NWN forums about a thread in the IC forums, then that's making two threads to go between. If the thread in the NWN forum is storing EVERYONE'S plots, then you'll have to dig back if you want to find the plot that you have questions on. If it's all kept to one IC thread, you simply need to use the search function... or dig in the IC forums a tad. That make sense?

 I can see where you're going with that, but what of those who don't actually write on the forums and keep the majority of their stuff to in game?

While I can see some redundancy with it, I could also see how the organization might help others see what is out there and get better involved. Some folks (judging from what I hear in tells on the rumor mill) feel they can't get involved in some things even.

But hum, what are others thoughts on this?

I'm curious to hear.

 I'm for it in any shape it may take. From what I understand one person writes up a small background story and asks other people to join in. From there on it's a collaborative effort.
