UMN Profs Teach Journalism With “Neverwinter Nights”

This is a pretty cool idea:

… they replaced the medieval world of Forgotten Realms with the modern world of a small American city called Harperville, and transformed the rogues, wizards, and barbarians into news editors, reporters, and other modern characters.

In the modified game, the student plays the role of a rookie reporter at the Harperville Gazette.

I wonder what (un)lucky grad students got to write the mod.
