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!!!

Yeenoghu, Gnoll Lord, The Ruler of Ruin! A 14 ft (4.3 m) demonic gnoll, what you see is what you get. A giant bloodthirsty hyena-like titan who simply wishes to bring destruction! Well, he does have a few tricks. He's telepathic, and can magically turn invisible or cause fear a few times per day. He's also incredibly intelligent. But I stick by what I said, as he usually actively chooses to ignore trickery and intellect, valuing the primal, beastial, and uncivilized. But if you're in for a very rough and wild time, this might be for you!

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

"These games are fiction, which means you can do things that aren't morally acceptable in society"
yes but have you considered that I'll feel really bad if I'm mean

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.

I’m building a dnd class rn called “Just Some Guy” and the whole thing is that they are just supremely bad at combat and ability checks the whole time. at level 20 u get an ability called “Fucking Finally” where u get the level 1 abilities of another class. ur hit dice are d4s and the only thing u have proficiency in is improvised weapons. this is the funniest thing I’ve done in a hot minute

So, what is the OGL and why are DnD creators thoroughly screwed?
Tumblr has not been doing a great job at talking about this, but:
With OneDnD, Wizards of the Coast has decided to update the Open Game License (OGL). Said license is what allowed people to create homebrew DnD content and sell it, and even larger companies to use certain sorts of content. Pathfinder, for example, is built on said OGL. This also allows streamers and artists to exist and benefit from said content.
With OneDnD (sometimes called “dnd 6e”), WOTC wants to create a much more restrictive OGL, which will, amongst other things:
Make WOTC take a cut for any DnD-related work (according to Kickstarter, a whole 25% of the benefits)
Let WOTC cancel any project related to DnD up to their discretion
Let WOTC take ANY content made based on their system, and re-sell it without crediting you, or giving you a single cent
And most importantly, revoke the old OGL, which will harm any company or game system that used it as a base, such as Pathfinder. And it means they GET ownership over any homebrew content you may have done for 5e in the past!
It’s important to note that OGLs are supposedly irrevocable. They were planning to use it for OneDnD initially, but they want to apply it retroactively to 5e, somehow. Which is illegal, but lawyers have mentioned there’s a chance they may get away with it given the wording.
Tumblr media
This means that anything you make based on DnD (A homebrew item? A character drawing? Even music, according to them?), can get taken and used as they deem appropiate.
These news come from a leak of the OGL, which have been confirmed by multiple reputable sources (including Kickstarter, which has confirmed that WOTC already talked with them about this), and was planned to be released next week.
So, what can we do?
Speak against it. Share the word. Reblog this post. Let people know. Tumblr hasn’t been talking much about this matter, but it’s VERY important to let people know about what is WOTC bringing. 
Boycott them. Do not buy their products. Do not buy games with their IP. Do not watch their movie. CANCEL your DnD Beyond subscription. (Btw, they ARE planning to release more subscription services too!). They do not care about the community, but they care about the money. Make sure to speak through it. 
And maybe consider other TTRPG systems for the time being, Pathfinder’s Paizo has been much nicer to the community, their workers are unionized and are far more healthy overall
