"A Living and Breathing World..." A blog and a master thesis! (not mine)

Corey Ryan Walden aka Rastus_Burne (New Zealand) is a young chap exploring old school gaming. The first link with his name is also his blog. He submitted a paper for his Masters Thesis back in July and reports that he received an "A". The title is

"A Living and Breathing World...": examining participatory practices within Dungeons & Dragons

and he provides a link on his blog to the paper if you would like to read it. Part of the paper involved a survey that he posted on several forums and as I participated in the survey I thought I was link to his post for you. His site also has some other interesting downloads and I encourage you to check it out.
