Greetings, I know they are incredibly busy people, but I was hoping for an opportunity to make contact to open a conversation with Wil Wheaton and/or Felicia Day regarding my research on the effects of all forms of role-playing games (tabletop, live-action, & computer-based). This includes using them as an intervention modality to achieve educational and therapeutic goals for various populations. In addition to the many benefits found from participated in RPG for "regular" populations without special needs, they can also be even more powerful to help special needs populations. Populations I have been working with include: Autism Spectrum, at-risk yourh, Cerebral Palsy, brain injury, Down's Syndrome, PTSD, the Deaf community, and many others. I would really appreciate a chance to open a conversation with Wil and Felicia if at all possible, and hopefully they would find the time spent beneficial to them in return. My efforts were just recently referenced and quoted by HBO's VICE media documentary group here: http://www.vice.com/read/at-this-danish-school-larping-is-the-future-of-education-482 More information on my background here: http://rpgr.org/staff/hawke-robinson I look forward to further dialogue. Thank you for your time. Sincerely, -Hawke Robinson Cell/text: (509) 481-5437 http://rpgresearch.com
