There's been some major updates to the Arda Nights Guild, check that out Here.

The guild is still only located at the Playervault, however they are looking for a new home to build the guild site.

Heres some more news on Neverwinter Nights:

Our plan is to do as BG has and ignore spell components. When I played PnP we tried to use components and found it took way too much time for a magic user character to worry about the components. I personally believe you should never be totally useless as a character in the world, which is what happens to a mage with no components. If components are ignored, a mage only has to wait and rest to become powerfull again. With components, the mage must return to the nearest town and stock up, breaking up the party or forcing a delay in adventuring. We feel keeping the party together is very important and anything we can do to avoid splitting up the party we will do.

Well I'm sure Magic in this game will be a great concern of many of you, so theres a tidbit on that. However using the toolset to make new worlds, you might be able to edit how magic is used and all, not sure of that as of yet.

We'll have a connection service, where you can see who's playing and what games are available, there will be some ability to chat with other players seeking games and DM's seeking players.

From there you'll choose a module and a party to play with, then enter the module and play.

When the module is done, you can return to the matching service if you wish.

Well thers some information on how you will enter games, and chat with other players.
