Role-Playing Game Research - Finally Starting Work on The RPG Research RPG Journal

Finally Working on RPG Research Journal - Call for Staff and Contributors

April 6, 2021 · 1 min read

RPG Research Journal

Decades in preparation, we are finally putting together a regular journal on Role-Playing Game Research

I have put this off for nearly two decades, and we are getting constant requests for this, so I am finally pulling the trigger on putting together an RPG Research Journal.

I will be drawing on a similar approach I took with Other Minds Magazine (https://otherminds.net).

We will start out using our existing internal peer review model (like the one we use in our Researchers Department, but broader staff base).

See initial proposal here: https://rpgjournal.org

We are going to need to put together a diverse team to make this work.

There are many different ways you can each help contribute to this journal. Initially I would like us to start with a quarterly release cycle.

See the above linked web page for a list of areas you could help.

I don't expect more than 1 hour per week at most if you opt to help with the journal.

Please email hawke@rpgresearch.com if you are interested in joining the team to work on the RPG Research Journal.

Thank you all so very much for all the great work you do. You are all really making a difference improving so many lives around the world!

Sincerely,

-Hawke Robinson

President and Founder, RPG Research
