Theater of the Mind Magazine - Issue #1

ADD TO WISHLIST >
Suggested Price $3.00

Theater of the Mind is the first gaming magazine to embrace the bold mission of exploring immersive role playing, cooperative story telling, and direct reader involvement in its publication.

The phrase “theater of the mind” is used to describe an immersive role playing experience that takes place entirely within the imaginations of the players and story teller, requiring no props, maps or miniatures. Some have argued that it is the purest form of role playing, and although all role playing experiences can bring enrichment to those involved, the immersive game is the “holy grail” of role playing games.

The content of the magazine will include all systems, themes, styles and genres, though they will always be viewed through the lens of immersive role playing. Whenever possible, the magazine will be avoiding the inclusion of specific game mechanics in its content, allowing the reader to apply it to any role playing system.

Theater of the Mind will be including role playing related articles, maps, stories, character tales, adventures, game master tools, new creatures, children’s content, reader submissions, and much more.

Please don’t hesitate to offer feedback and suggestions. Theater of the Mind is intended to be an interactive resource for everyone who is interested in getting the most from their role playing experience.

This is the first issue, and we hope you enjoy it. We are looking for reader participation, so please visit our web site at: www.TheaterOfTheMindMagazine.com  and our Facebook page at: www.facebook.com/TheaterOfTheMindMagazine

I drew up the Creature Feature and the Shapes & Change comic strip in this magazine. When I got my copy of it I was very impressed with the other content in it. I think that this product is very reasonably priced for the great quality of the arti [...]

Being a contributor to the magazine, I feel I can only offer an overview, rather than a review. That said - there's a lot to read, a lot to look at and plenty of laughs, too. The magazine dedicates itself to creating a conversation about role-playing [...]

Theater of the Mind is not a breath of fresh air. It's hurricane of original content. Every single article can hold its own, and they are as varied as they are great. Ander Wood's musings on the actual definition of what immersive RP is, Runeslinger's [...]

I've watched this magazine grow from an idea to a final product. I've watched as well as participated in conversations leading to the contribution of articles, artwork, comics, and photography. I proofread the articles as they came in. I was introduced [...]

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
