Ok, as I continue to refine these backgrounds, I'm planning on editing them in this thread, please feel free to comment or otherwise suggest improvements or ideas for these or other backgrounds in a similiar vein. (Any ideas on improving the Flavor Text to be more in-tune with Arcanum's style is especially welcomed.) Also, once the pack is completed I was planning on trying to upload it somewhere, or at the very least setting up an email address for people to request it if the first option didn't pan out.
