Notes from experiments on RPG optimization - Maximizing enjoyment, benefit, immersion, flow, safety, etc.: by Hawke Robinson — published Jun 20, 2015 — last modified Feb 05, 2023 12:22 PM — filed under: Full Text, hawke robinson, correlative research, Gender Bias, Case study(ies), Potential RPG Research Question, Effects of RPG, anecdote, FAQs / Frequently Asked Questions, Analysis, research, Biofeedback, Neurofeedback, EEG, absorption, blog posting, RPG Research Essay, RPG Research Project Updates, causal study(ies)
Here is a summary of many observations I have made over the decades through various experiments in trying to optimize the RPG experience. This is from a huge pile of hundreds of documents I have written, spanning over 15+ years of research (and nearly 40 years of RPG experience). It will likely take me a year or more to finish integrating all that information into this document. All of the placeholder topics I currently have documents to fill in the blanks, but I time is the challenge in doing so. Bit by bit I am uploading all that content to here.

2004 - RPGR-A00001 An Overview of the History and Potential Therapeutic Value of Role-playing Gaming: by Hawke Robinson — published Sep 30, 2004 — last modified Dec 08, 2022 10:53 AM — filed under: Pending Review, RPG Research Essay, Archive, Discipline: TR/RT
Role-playing gaming (RPGing) has its roots as far back as ancient history with the development of war-gaming. War-gaming is the simulation of combat strategies and tactics represented in reduced scale with various rules, often with some sort of randomizing agent such as dice or cards to add an element of “realistic” unpredictability. As long as there has been organized warfare, there appears to have been some form of war-gaming in every culture throughout history. Chess and the Chinese game Go both are very much based on war-gaming, but considered lacking by some because of the lack of unpredictability offered by “true” war-gaming using some degree of randomization.
