The point buy system is actually rather straight forward. Before applying racial modifiers, one spends the points given to buy base stats.

Stat Cost
8 0
9 1
10 2
11 3
12 4
13 5
14 6
15 8
16 10
17 13
18 16

By giving each character the same number of points in which to buy stats, it levels the playing field so to speak, making it fair for everyone. You will probably have 28 points in which to spend, which might buy you the following stats: Str 14, Dex 14, Con 14, Int 14, Wis 10, Cha 10. The game will allow many other methods of stat generation, but I think from reading the NWN faq that this will be the official way.

As for playing table top, I and another DM run an open 3rd edition game set in Forgotten Realms, based around Triboar and the North. We are actually going to be running an adventure set in Neverwinter woods this weekend. We also use the point buy system for our game, and the fixed hp advancement per level.
