More news from the NW Vault.

Heres some info on Spell Casting:

Our approach to this topic is to implement what the 3rd Edition rules detail. I can't comment about the 3rd ED. I can ask about 2nd ed though. How many people actually paid attention to the three parts of spell casting? I think they were verbal, somatic and material.

Heres information on Security in NW:

Security is the main reason we decided to write our own scripting language. The system will be as robust as we can create. The issue of 3rd party modifications is still under debate and we won't post on it until we know exactly what we can and cannot do. As for the Videe card, we are dependant on the driver for a solid Open GL implementation. If the driver support is not there, the client and editor will not run. We may do a Direct X version if it is required. The card you have should work fine as long as the drivers support Open GL.
