Over the Academic's Shoulder: Audience Dynamics in TRPGs

As I mentioned in a previous post, I recently graduated with my Master's in literature, and to mark the occasion, I wanted to try to get my first publication. I found a little outlet that wanted to publish a D&D book and I worked up this piece on how audience dynamics function in TRPGs. Unfortunately for me, that piece was ultimately rejected, but that means I can post it here for you all. So take a look at my old D&D podcast and the ways that each layer of audience participation enriches the others and feel free to apply it to your own understanding of TRPG format. Happy reading!
