Beating It Into Submission
Should it amuse me so much that one supervisor tells me to ask the other, who tells me to ask the lecuterer in charge of honours? Or should I be worried instead? Can't ever complain of feeling unloved when the three of them are helping me, I suppose. Meanwhile, those waiting room chairs actually are comfortable enough to fall asleep in.
Research Question now stands thusly (after being overseen by no less than all three tutors):
This research seeks to address issues of player investment in Dungeons and Dragons, and how to best present these theories to an audience.
The central research question is thus: How do the key elements of character, setting and player agency function in relation to an emotional investment from gamers and how is that illustrated by reactions to changes and new versions?
I require a clause because, although the creative piece will answer the question, the question doesn't say that it's a Publishing/Professional Writing major. But, I'm told this will work, so it better.
And hah. I don't need ethics clearance for game observations, because this counts as 'reflection on daily life' which you can't really get permission for. Especially with the backlog of two years worth of gaming to draw on.
