Summary: Society of Mysteries
Comment: Halls of the Arcanum provides detailed information on one of the most fascinating groups in the World of Darkness. This book was released during the Year of Hunter for Mage the Ascension. Though they don't hunt mages or other supernaturals like the Inquisition, they do pose a serious threat due to the tremendous amount of information they have. The Arcanum is after all a society that studies the unknown. This book is ideal for storytellers who want to run mystery campaigns with an emphasis on investigating the supernatural with normal humans. The presentation and the mood of the book worked extremely well. The horrors of the unknown are in every corner and it's up to them to bring light to the darkness.

Summary: Very informative
Comment: The Arcanum is typically an organization that easily falls into the shadows in most WoD games for several reasons... First of all this is an organization consisting, at least mostly, of mortals - according to a lot of people the WoD consists of vampires, wraiths, mages, werewolves and a whole bunch of other weird creatures as well as a few hundred mortals for these people to fight over. At least it looks like it judging from the amount of information you can find on mortals in most WoD books. This book is an exception. In here you can find information on the Arcanum as well as information on what means the mortals have to fight back against the supernatural. I run a vampire game myself and after I got this book (even though it's really an addition for MtA) one of my players immediately wanted to play a mortal... Mortals exist in the WoD and time and again they do actually have a clue about what's going on - that is what this book is about.
