Theater of the Mind Magazine - Issue #4

Welcome to the December issue of Theater of the Mind. The theme for this issue is "Greed."

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 fourth 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
