Good morning (as it is morning as I write this),
My name is Bradley Foxx. I'm a Graduate Student at Eastern Kentucky University and I need the help of some players and a good DM. I'm focusing my research on the rhetorical situation in D&D between the players, the DM, and the "texts" (the rulebooks, the dice, stuff like that) and the tools and obstacles participants will run into during the cooperative storytelling/gaming process. I need some primary source research for my Thesis and I have limited experience with 5E, but as I'm writing to an audience unfailiar with D&D and 5E is the most recent iteration of this beloved game, that's the one I'm using.
As such, it would be very helpful to have a game or two under my belt to use as primary source documentation of how the cooperative narrative process works in D&D. I would be participating as a Participant Observer in 1-3 sessions of a new or ongoing campaign. The campaign setting can be homebrew, but I am looking for as standard a setting as possible with a few rule changes as possible. I will need to reference the 5E PHB as part of my Thesis, so altered rules would require further explanation to an audience that's already unfamiliar with how this works. In this case, I'm also not looking to play a 5E conversion of another narrative universe, so I would not participate in a game in the Witcher universe, for example.
I would use recording software to capture the audio from the campaign, possibly using screen capture software to take video, but any recordings I made would be deleted when I transcribed the necessary data to text. Noone would be mentioned by name save for the Player Characters, so any refernces to the game would look like, "Player 1's character Raistlin demanded the party rest for the night so he might regain his spells." My intention is to simply take up this 1-3 sessions to get enough data to work with, but if I enjoyed the campaign and the group enough I would consider requesting to stay on as a player.
I'm aware that this is a lot to take in, so please think this over amongst yourselves. Any and all groups interested in participating in my research can contact me privately or respond to this post with some contact info or if you still have questions about how this would work I can answer them here or privately. I am primarily looking for a game to happen Friday night after 4 pm EST or Saturday at any time. Any other day is pretty much a no go for me. I appreciate your interest in this matter and hope to hear from you all soon.
