Game teaches journalism students skills

Using Neverwinter Nights to teach journalism skills, including going to the library. I just had to link for the quote, "When we initially did the game, it still had lava pits, the editor looked like an ogre — stuff like that. The librarian had breastplates."

    I think my favorite part is at the end: "A bug in the program meant that any time a player approached a group of people, he was immediately attacked and killed."

    I have Neverwinter Nights at home and have played with some of the mod construction - but never to such an extent. (It was pretty much limited to adding dungeons with treasure chests and monsters guarding them.) Hmmm - so if I change it to librarians, guarding databases of information.....
