Would you like to know more? Join Liz of Beyond Solitaire as she interviews Brant about the project, and answers questions from the audience, too 1630 EDT on Monday 5/6

Thanks, and absolutely. We fully intend to share what's published far & wide. By way of expectations: we'll have some overviews published at the Dragoons site fairly quickly at the end of the Summer. Anything submitted (and, we hope, accepted) for academic publication will definitely take longer.

I'm not 100% sure of the limitations of the Qualtrics software. Even if it doesn't give you a fixed header where the items scroll below it, we should be able to break the questions up by repeating the header more frequently. I think this one is imminently fixable for next time, for sure.

(1) Survey is so broad b/c we're interested in the entire hobby games world rather than multiple separate-but-overlapping efforts that inevitably take more time and are more difficult to join for a holistic view of the overall hobby. Any time you end up releasing a limited-focus hobby gams...

We actually stripped out a LOT of the digital/computer-focused items from '06. But it's trying to cover the entire swath of hobby gaming all at once, and isn't going to be overly-focused on any one specific type of game. It's funny, b/c the card guys don't think its granular enough for them...

I can promise that absolutely NO ONE associated with this survey is trying to sell you on a start-up! I was a pretty crappy business guy when I was trying to run my own publishing company, and I can't imagine I would serve as anything more than a series of cautionary tales of what not to do in...

Unfortunately, there are some academic "scales" that try to capture various dimensions of specific concepts (in this case, entrepreneurship) that can get really long. The scales we use for the motivational questions are quite a bit shorter and are the same ones we used back in '06. It would be...

What you would like to have seen different? (probably too late to change now with ~1400 or so responses, but could help us for the future)

Yep, per the original announcement - there is a bunch in there on entrepreneurship one of Dr Mercer's key areas of interest is entrepreneurship, so he's interested in how gamers rate on those scales, especially since so many game companies are started by gamers who say "hey, I've got a great idea!"

try the direct link to the Qualtrics server? https://fdu.co1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_50aPtzXCAH5yu46 thanks!

Per Dr Mercer, we're extending the reply deadline all the way out to 1 July, which will also get us past a few of the conventions in the early Summer. We weren't going to get to the data analysis until July anyway with other things on our schedules, so we're going to leave it open for now.

There are definitely some places where it would help, but you can leave those blank There's a lot to be desired about how Qualtrics sets some things up.

It's not that we're assuming folks have tried everything, but we're trying to cover as many bases as possible to include as many different (non-digital) gamers as we can thanks!

The survey software does that. You can try to game your way around it, but end up tying yourself in knots by the end of it! Thanks for participating :)

Hey everyone! TL;DR – Gamesurvey.org is where you'll find an academic survey on hobby gamers' motivations, community engagement, and entrepreneurship, thru 15 April 2024. Please take the time to join a few thousand other hobby gamers and complete this for us to help better understand the...

Registration is open for MystaraCon 2021 There's a limited number of "early bird" badges at a discount, but not many of them! Once you are registered for the convention, you can then register for any events for free. KEY ITEMS TO CONSIDER: 1. GMs, DO NOT buy a badge. I am creating yours...

First cut at the draft schedule goes out in about 90 minutes. We could definitely use some DMs for events on Sunday, and probably at least 1 more on Saturday.

(not sure where to put this, so please move if needed!) https://tabletop.events/conventions/mystaracon-2021 The Armchair Dragoons are pleased to announce MystaraCon 2021, an all-digital convention focused on the old TSR game world of Mystara, first introduced in the venerable X1 module The...
