Chapter 3 of What Video Games Have To Teach Us About Learning and Literacy[/i] (James Paul Gee - 2007) talks about Arcanum and JPG's journey through this WRPG (Western RPG). This guy with probably a doctoral degree and lots of high-brow academic experience explains the very basics of Arcanum to the public and makes fans squeal with delight as finally this game got some spiffy recognition! PS: I -would- post this on Terra-Arcanum, if the site let me register. What's the answer to the verification question, "Without using numerals tell us what year Arcanum was released?"
