Hey there, my fellow LARPers!
I'm doing a project on SoMN players (which includes those of you who travel over here from elsewhere, like Chicago) for my Sociology class. If you don't mind, and if you have a little extra time on your hands, I'd love it if you could fill out the survey below and send it to me via PM or e-mail
(vampyregrrl@comcast.net) before December 12th. The aim of this project is to figure out some patterns between people, their characters, and each other.
Not all questions will necessarily apply to everyone, but please try to answer as many as possible. There are five sections to the survey: Player Background, Character Background, Casters, Groups, and NPCs. It may seem like a lot, but most of the questions are short-answer. I filled this out, too, and it took me about half an hour to complete.
I promise I will not use any of your answers to metagame, blackmail, or anything of the like. :sweat:
Thank you!
