Mind's Eye Theatre
''Mind's Eye Theatre'' is a live action role-playing game (LARP) based on the White Wolf World of Darkness universe, sharing a theme and setting with the table-top role-playing game '' Vampire: The Masquerade'' and with two revisions, '' Vampire: The Requiem'' and ''Mind's Eye Theater: Vampire The Masquerade''. (The rules for ''Mind's Eye Theatre'' have likewise been revised.) Other games or "venues" include: '' Werewolf: The Forsaken'', '' Mage: The Awakening'', '' Changeling: The Lost,'' and more. Conflicts and skill challenges are settled in other editions with a "rock, paper, scissors" system often referred to as "throwing chops" or "hand jamming". The 2005 ''Mind's Eye Theatre'' system, however, used a random card-draw mechanic. Every player carries a deck of ten playing cards (2-10, plus an Ace), and adds a skill modifier to their draw. The game possesses many rules both for gameplay and player safety. One main advantage of using the ''Mind's Eye Theater'' system is the a ...

Mark Rein·Hagen
Mark Rein-Hagen, stylized as Mark Rein•Hagen (born 1964), is an American role-playing, card, video and board game designer best known as the creator of '' Vampire: The Masquerade'' and its associated ''World of Darkness'' games.

Rein-Hagen and Tweet designed ''Ars Magica'' over a period of nine months, publishing it in 1987. Lion Rampant encountered financial difficulties in 1990, but after Stevens pitched the idea of a merger to Rein-Hagen and Stewart Wieck, they decided to merge White Wolf and Lion Rampant forming a new company White Wolf Game Studio, with the two as co-owners.

The Elder's Revenge
''The Elder's Revenge'' is an adventure published by White Wolf Publishing in 1995 for the horror live-action role-playing game ''Mind's Eye Theatre''. Plot summary ''The Elder's Revenge'' is an adventure written by Jennifer Donaldson and John Flournoy for the ''Mind's Eye Theatre'' live-action role-playing game, itself a spinoff of the table-top horror role-playing game '' Vampire: The Masquerade''. The adventure, which takes the form of a dramatic script, involves the play, ''The Prince''. The script contains production notes and stage directions. Numerous props such as letters, lyrics and newspaper clippings are included. A full-scale production of the script requires seven principal actors and eight supporting actor/dancers. Reception In the August 1996 edition of '' Dragon'' (Issue #232), Rick Swan thought that given the large cast, the play should be produced by a college drama department rather than a band of role-players: "Better ''Elder's Revenge'' than an umteenth re ...

Vampire
A vampire is a mythical creature that subsists by feeding on the vital essence (generally in the form of blood) of the living. In European folklore, vampires are undead humanoid creatures that often visited loved ones and caused mischief or deaths in the neighbourhoods which they inhabited while they were alive. They wore shrouds and were often described as bloated and of ruddy or dark countenance, markedly different from today's gaunt, pale vampire which dates from the early 19th century. Vampiric entities have been recorded in cultures around the world; the term ''vampire'' was popularized in Western Europe after reports of an 18th-century mass hysteria of a pre-existing folk belief in Southeastern and Eastern Europe that in some cases resulted in corpses being staked and people being accused of vampirism. Local variants in Southeastern Europe were also known by different names, such as ''shtriga'' in Albania, ''vrykolakas'' in Greece and ''strigoi'' in Romania, cognate t ...

The Dreaming
The Dreaming, also referred to as Dreamtime, is a term devised by early anthropologists to refer to a religio-cultural worldview attributed to Australian Aboriginal beliefs. It was originally used by Francis Gillen, quickly adopted by his colleague Baldwin Spencer and thereafter popularised by A. P. Elkin, who, however, later revised his views. The Dreaming is used to represent Aboriginal concepts of ''Everywhen'', during which the land was inhabited by ancestral figures, often of heroic proportions or with supernatural abilities. These figures were often distinct from gods, as they did not control the material world and were not worshipped but only revered. The concept of the Dreamtime has subsequently become widely adopted beyond its original Australian context and is now part of global popular culture. The term is based on a rendition of the Arandic word ''alcheringa'', used by the Aranda (Arunta, Arrernte) people of Central Australia, although it has been argued that ...
