International Journal of Role-Playing (Open Submission)
http://journalofroleplaying.org/

The International Journal of Role-Playing (IJRP) editorial board invites scholars of all disciplines to submit articles for publication.

The IJRP is an international, double-blind peer-reviewed scholarly journal that examines all facets of role-playing for an audience of academics, developers, and role-players themselves. Issues appear online once or twice annually, with a rolling deadline for submission of new content. Founded over a decade ago, the IJRP continues to serve as a platform for documentation and analysis of role-playing games as a global cultural phenomenon that straddles the traditional and the transgressive, the analog and the digital, individual and community, as well as theory and praxis. The journal is Open Access that charges neither authors nor readers any fees. Authors retain the right to use their published articles elsewhere, given the mention of the IJRP as the original publication channel.… read more. “Call: International Journal of Role-Playing”

Associate Professor Barbara Gail Montero, CUNY
Dr Jenny Judge, NYU
