Grimdark TTRP gamers - I'd love to hear from you!
Hey everyone!
I am a trainee psychologist at University College London (UCL) carrying out some research on how playing TTRPGs with grimdark narratives relates to coping and mental wellbeing. There's really interesting research out there covering movies and other TTRPGs, but very little on how playing grimdark TTRPGs may relate to players wellbeing.
I'm really interested to understand this better and I'd love to hear directly from the people who play! As a thank you for taking part in the interview, you'll receive a £10 voucher.
What's involved:
- A short Qualtrics survey collecting some background information about engagement with grimdark TTRPGs and two brief wellbeing questionnaires. This is to help find a diverse sample of gamers to take part, but conclusions will not be drawn from the info collected from this survey alone.
- A 45-60 minute interview via Microsoft Teams at a time that suits you - we will chat everything grimdark TTRPGs and how this relates to your wellbeing. It'll be a semi-structured interview, so I'll have some questions I'd like to ask but there's plenty of time to talk about what's important to you!
Who can take part?
- Anyone aged 18+ who plays grimdark TTRP games
- Resides in the UK or Germany
