Magicians: Language Learning RPG

ADD TO WISHLIST >

Magicians is a tabletop role-playing game designed to both tell awesome stories like you've read about in books like Harry Potter, A Wizard of Earthsea or Lev Grossman’s The Magicians, and to teach you a language - Korean. Magicians is about teenage drama, emotions, hormones and magic. Learn a new, interesting and totally foreign language and the culture and folklore behind it and learn a language as a side-effect of playing the game. Nine-tailed foxes seduce the willing and prowl Seoul at night; dokkaebi roam the mountainside as students learn magic at a remote school as they relearn everything they know about the world. Magicians is all about magic. It’s about removing all constraints so that the only thing holding you back is what you know. All you need is your phone or computer, your friends, and a few hours every week. A game where the magic system is designed to teach you Korean and the rest of it is designed to tell compelling coming-of-age tales! 

Magicians features:

  • 3 levels of progression designed specifically for progession and language learning.
  • A parallel in the fiction between you and your character - your character is a student at a school for magic, beginning to learn magic just as you begin to learn Korean. 
  • A diceless Failure and Success system that uses a free smartphone text-to-speech application on iOS or Android - correct pronunciation of the target language means a correctly cast spell. This means that as you get better at the target langauges your character also grows in power in the game. 
  • A collaborative card mechanic for producing no-prep, spontaneous storytelling.
  • A setting that draws from Korean mythology and folklore as well as urban myths and superstitions.

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.

Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
