Hello Folks, does anyone know if there is any survey data on people’s play experiences with Blades in the Dark or it’s hacks? I’m thinking about building out a survey for public consumption, but I’d rather not duplicate work if I can help it.
If no such survey exists, what sort of questions would you like to see on such a survey?
Can you say more about your intent?
I’m looking to find (or, if there isn’t one, create) a public resource for Blades in the Dark hackers to get some solid data on what kinds of games people play with the system. If I end up creating one, I’d share the raw, anonymized data publicly along with any analysis I do of it.
The survey would contain a disclaimer that the anonymized data would be publicly shared and an opt-out option for respondents that don’t want their data publicly shared.
If anyone feels this intent is wrong-headed or that I’m making a mistake, please let me know!
In that case for basics I would ask:
Do you use a home-brew setting, one published by Evil Hat, or another alternative setting.
If you’ve used an alternative setting what genre would you say it is?
If you were to create your own setting or seek out an alternative one what genre would it be in?
That sort of thing.
Alright, first pass at the survey is complete! Thanks for the feedback, and please let me know if you feel anything should be added or removed. Also, if you don’t mind, please share this survey far and wide so we can gather more data!
