I'm a D&D player/DM turned academic psychologist, doing research into who plays TTRPGs and why. I think it's a profoundly understudied question! If you can spare 15-30 minutes (depending how fast you go) I'd be very grateful.

Alternatively you can contact the lead researcher, Dr Steven Samuel at steven.samuel@city.ac.uk.

The "Roughly how many years in total have you played tabletop RPGs in your life" slider only goes up to 20. I'm at 46, aged 64.

I think you’ll get a large portion of people at 20+ years.

Absolutely fine. It's the more the merrier, whether 18 or 80. In fact the wider the spread, the better. Thank you very much for your help!

Another responder here - it would be really interesting if you posted a link to your findings once completed, please?

Thank you for your help! No problem. I'll post a summary of outcomes back here. Will probably take a few months.

I stopped after needing to click off the 5th time on the whoosies and whatsies the study is. I did like the part of needing normal-to-corrected vision.

I filled it out - took ten minutes. I felt a bit of a responsibility to help out someone in the community.
