    Our new hosts Sorcerer's Place have a neat little page about all their hosted sites. Now that we're hosted by them, we need a description and a button that goes there.

    I think our big button will be fine. Either the guy with the gun or the one made by explosion (See poll, vote).

    Anywho, what should we have as our description?

    Here are some thoughts to get you thinking:
    • Terra-Arcanum is the oldest Arcanum fan-site.
    • Lot's of stuff about Arcanum... especially from the demo.
    • We cover all of Troika's stuff (hardy har har, once we actually upload the content on that stuff)
    • Troika are dead, we're not!
    • We could say we have Charles but we banned him.
    • Yeah, my mind's not in the "promote the site" mood right now.

    Well it all depends on how much you are willing to annoy the Vivendi forum users...

    The best / largest / most active arcanum forum.
    (Unless I am missing something, most of the arcanum forums I have found are empty or full of people discussing non-arcanum related things).

    No1 site for fan made mods and modding tools / support.

    Free automaton for every new user!*

    *Subject to availability**

    **None available

    In 1998 Tim Cain, Leonard Boyarsky and Jason Anderson founded Troika Games. When their first title "Arcanum: Of Steamworks and Magick Obscura" was announced in 2000, Terra-Arcanum was established with the goal of providing as much information about the upcoming game as possible. When Arcanum was finally released, TA proved to be the number one resource for information about the game.

    Today, Troika Games is no more but Terra-Arcanum still lives. While initially created as a fan-site for Arcanum and any possible Arcanum sequels, with the demise of Troika, TA has since moved on to provide information about all of Troika's games which includes Dungeons and Dragons - Greyhawk: the Temple of Elemental Evil, Vampire: the Masquerade - Bloodlines and Mystary! the post-apocalyptic RPG idea by Troika which sadly, never found a publisher.

    Over time this content is always being added to with fan-fiction, fan-art, walkthroughs and other information. So if you're a fan of Troika's Games, come on over and pay Terra-Arcanum a visit. In particular, the forum community is still able to provide helpful hints and tips about Arcanum for anyone who's stuck.


    BEST. DESCRIPTION. EVAR.

    Jolly good old chap! Now, how many government workdays were required to conceive that if you don't mind me asking, hmmmm?

    As you can see from the date of the post when I initially started work on it, this work of ART has taken a little over a month to produce. That's working on it full time too, 4 days a week (at least 1 day a week is mandatory "do nothing" day in the public service).

    Aaah, Jarinor would be so proud, working hard as he is to finance his WoW addiction and his good ol' government.
