ttrpg research study survey!!
howdy yall!!
so a lot of yall know me for my games, but by day i'm a grad student studying game studies and researching therapeutic applications for gaming (if you've seen my posts about using ttrpgs in my classroom, you may be familiar already!)
i'm doing a research study through my university looking into long term tabletop roleplay and emotional resilience. essentially, i'm asking the question: does playing tabletop games over a long period of time affect your ability to weather social and emotional challenges? the study is additionally interested if marginalized people have a different experience with roleplay and resilience than non-marginalized folks do
the study will take place in a few stages. the first stage is a survey. there are screening questions to make sure all participants qualify, and then open, short-answer questions asking about both your experiences with roleplay and making characters, and also questions about emotional resilience. you're able to answer questions with little or more depth, depending on what youre comfortable with, or skip questions if you need to. this survey should take about 30 minutes, but depends on how in depth you go with your answers
the next stage is an optional follow-up interview. three participants will be selected after the survey is completed to take place in an opt-in interview, which will last about thirty minutes to an hour. there, we'll talk more in depth about your answers and also talk about the character(s) you've played
the survey will be open from 3/27/24 to 4/12/24
to qualify, you must be a tabletop roleplayer who has played at least 3 roleplay sessions of a multiplayer ttrpg during a span of 6 months or longer. you must be 18 or over and an american citizen
spreading the word or participating is greatly appreciated!!!
you can find the survey here!!
thanks so so much yall!!!

The Shoosuva! 6 foot at the shoulder, these hyena demons have a venomous stinger full of paralyzing venom! They're gifts from the Gnoll Lord, loyal, telepathic, and glow from the inside! They are sadistic however, and eat rotten flesh, so maybe avoid that breath.

It's been forever since I've drawn my gal Velkaria, so I decided to fix that! <3 I'm still incredibly fond of her design, and she was a lot of fun to play as, even if that campaign didn't end up working out in the long term.

The last of the Chroma Conclave, the ancient green dragon Raishan. The head started based as a meanier dilophosaurus thingy and I'd like to think the crest is retractable. Also I added some kind of goose tongue because those beast have the meaniest tongues in nature.
Voiced by Matthew Mercer on @criticalrole and by Cree Summer in The Legend of Vox Machina.

LOL A LITTLE SHY ABOUT POSTING THIS BUT??? fuck it
I made an alan-like oc for a d&d campaign I'm currently in!!! his name is andion overmorrow and I love him sm... he has some elements from alan wake, like scratch (may redesign that loser but he's at the bottom) but otherwise his backstory and everything else is different.
saga is an NPC for andion's backstory. she's a tiefling bc I straight up wanted her to be a stark contrast to alan for the Funnies
for spellcasting, andion has to narrate as if he's writing a book, his arcane focus being an enchanted spellbook that he actively writes in. ✌️✨
oh and he's a bard/warlock

dnd jokes that will always be funny no matter what your dm tells you
"jesus christ" "who's that"
"this is just like (tv show/movie)" "that's my favorite play"
referring to famous musicians or actors from the real world as "bards"
adding the word "fantasy" in front of modern things (i pull out my Fantasy iPhone and open Fantasy Tinder)
"how hurt are you" "on a scale of one to twenty-eight i'd say i'm at about a nine."
feel free to add more

Flind, the most favored gnolls of the Gnoll Lord Yeenoghu! 7 feet (2.1 m) and 300 lbs (136 kg) of pure muscle, and if you're into pain that flail can temporarily send you into a frenzy or paralyze you! Other than that it's just a big powerful hyena person with no fear and a love of fighting. Gotta love a leader who leads by example, putting themselves on the frontlines!
