A companion book to this one, The Multiplayer Classroom: Game Plans, will be published by CRC Press and will feature fully annotated design documents from his more ambitious multiplayer and alternate reality games including the first online multiplayer classroom. Other games covered teach physical fitness, Mandarin and Chinese Culture and cybersecurity, a game where students must defend their university against attacks originating on the dark web. The third edition of Lee's book Character Development and Storytelling for Games, a standard text in the field, is also forthcoming from CRC Press.
