We're looking for a few good writers.

"Inter*action" is a new kind of role-playing magazine. After twenty years
of new character classes, rules modifications and hints for referees, it's
about time that somebody started paying some serious attention to the 
process of role-play itself: what it is; how it started ("D&D" is the wrong 
answer); how it works; why it works; its possible uses in training, 
education and self-improvement; whether it's a toy, tool or artform; looking
at it from psychological, sociological, anthropological, cultural, moral,
literary and critical viewpoints.

"Inter*action" will be a twice-yearly academic-type journal dedicated to
all aspects of role-playing and storytelling systems, from RPGs to virtual
reality, improvisational drama and psychotherapy. It is not a spoof or a 
hoax. The first issue will be published in late April this year.

We need writers who are interested in exploring the boundaries of what role-
playing actually is and what it can be. We're looking for articles of 
1000-5000 words, and will pay the puny rate of 0.5p (about 0.75 cents) per
word for anything we print: if the magazine is successful, the payment
rate will be increased.

If you are interested in any aspect of Inter*action (and needless to say
we're looking for distributors, stockists, advertisers and subscribers as
well), please send email to the address below for more information and a 
copy of the writers' guidelines.

in the same way as the blob in Mark Rein*Hagen's name. Just so you know.]
