  4. 3rd Edition by James+Lanfear · · Score: 2 · on Neverwinter Nights Coming to Linux
    There is an FAQ for Third Edition somewhere, but WotC has done a good job hiding it. (The official site is here but I don't recommend it; 500+KB flash applet with almost no content.)

    But for all who haven't been paying attention to r.g.f.d (*tsk tsk*), here's a very quick summary of the changes (that I can remember, anyway):

    Inititaive is rolled at the beginning of combat, not every round, but per-round is still supported as an option.

    Proficiencies (W&NW) and THAC0 are gone, replaced by a skill system. AC's are reversed and used as the target # for a skill roll (so AC 0 is now AC 20).

    Weapons no longer have speed factors.

    They've brought back several 1st Ed classes, including assassins and monksThere's also been mention of a sorcerer class, but I can't find any info about it.

    There are apparently no longer racial limitations on classes--somewhere I saw a Gnome Paladin/Mage metioned as a viable option.

    There were some hints that kits are gone, or changed considerably.

    Demihumans now have unlimited advancement.

    The Options books are gone, some features have been folded into the main rules.

    Greyhawk is being resurrected as the default setting. FR will still be the primary advanced setting, and DragonLance will still be around, but mostly as novels and novel-derived adventures.

    Ravenloft, Dark Sun, etc are no more. Planescape was been eliminated because WotC decided it would be more fun for DM's to invent their own cosmology. Gee, thanks.

    The core books (PH, DMG, MM) are slated for release in one month intervals beginning *next* August, priced at $20US. There will conversion rules, but there were hints that WotC is encouraging DM to "wind their campaigns down" before switching. (In other words, it may not be possible to convert everything.)

    As for NWN, there is an article here and a much more informative interview here.
