Want to play online in your own created worlds or maybe remake Golarion yourself? Please check out this kickstarter for Dungeonforge. It's pretty much an updated version of Neverwinter Nights with all the tools to create and run your own servers and persistent worlds.
https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1004444231/dungeonforge-be-the-ultimat e-dungeon-master
Please help spread the word about this kickstarter. I just recently found out about it and they need all the help they can get. Even if the KS does not fund they still plan on releasing the game. Give what you can and please tell others who loved Neverwinter Nights and Neverwinter Nights 2 about the game.
Thanks!

OH ALL MY YES YES YES YES YES
EDIT: Okay, it doesn't look quite like NWN - from my reading of the game, it won't allow you to make your own separate custom worlds, but rather submit areas to the central server, where everyone plays. Not quite as much interest here as a result, but I'm still quite intrigued.

It's because you can't just post links raw in Paizo's forums - it breaks them up deliberately, I think as a failsafe against spammers.
You have to post it like so:
{url=(address here)}text here{/url}
replace {} with []

I'm curious if it would be against the OGL to make our own Golarion or parts of that world. I know we use to do it with Faerun back in Neverwinter Nights days. My old project, A Land Far Away use to have servers all connected together where a player could travel from one side of Faerun to the other. I use to help run a number of servers like Icewind Dale, Waterdeep, The Pirate Isles, etc. I would love to something like that with Golarion.
Well, as I said in my prior post, from reading the project's description it doesn't look like you can make your own separately-hosted servers; anything that gets created can be submitted to the central server of the game itself, and the stuff that's good enough will get made visible to everyone.
Now if I'm wrong about that, and misread something, that would make my YEAR.

In addition to LAN support, Dungeonforge will feature dedicated servers for those wishing to host their own, entirely self-contained gameworlds online and allow friends to play and create content therein. Loot, characters, lore and even the gameworld itself can all be uniquely tweaked or replaced entirely on dedicated servers for an experience that's as unique as you want it to be.
Administrators will have a full suite of moderation tools including the ability to choose who on the server may create content, approve content to appear in the gameworld or block content from appearing at all.
Dedicated servers may be set to private for only certain people to access so you and your adventuring buddies can enjoy your content together, or can be made public so that the world can enjoy the world you're creating.
Dedicated servers are entirely self-contained and separate from other content. Characters created and loot obtained on a dedicated server stay on that server.
Dedicated servers give players even more far-reaching control over their unique experience in Dungeonforge. We're beyond excited to see where creative and imaginative people take this!
Awesome, I missed that paragraph. Thanks!

WANT.
Sad to see that barring a miracle this won't make it, but thankfully it'll be getting done even if the KS doesn't pull through.
Hopefully they'll try again, with better advertising - they seemed to wait too long to get the word out, to too few directions.
:(
A minor note but they need to change "Dungeon Master" to another term. Dungeon Master is trademarked and I'd hate to see them get hit by Hasbro's lawyers for something stupid.
Looks like they are going to work on it whether they get funded or not, but I wish them the best of luck.
I think unfortunately their Kickstarter went up around the time of the recent hack, so maybe fewer people are using Kickstarter? I know the hack has made me reluctant to use the site again.
I always forget that's a thing. (DM being copyrighted.)
I sent them a message about it. I know it's essentially meaningless for the KS itself, given how close it is to closing, but I assume they used the term in the game itself as well.
