Thesis: Ch. 1–Introduction

with 3 comments

Today I’ve posted the frontmatter and introduction of my PhD thesis on role-playing videogames, which now has its own page here.

I’m really hoping to get some feedback on this, especially from gamers. Some reasons why you should read the thesis as I serialise it, so you can give me comments:

  • It’s the only book-length work in English on (videogame) RPGs, so if you’ve ever wanted to read one, this is your only option.
  • It features me being pugnacious.
  • Reading it won’t make your mind contort painfully in an effort to decipher incomprehensible nonsense.

So get to it! Further chapters will appear as I finish editing them. Post comments for discussion on the relevant blog entry, or email them to me directly.
