The Ethnography Of Tabletop Miniature Game Storyworlds
1. The document summarizes research into how players of the HeroClix collectible miniature game draw upon the extensive backstories and fictional worlds ("storyworlds") of properties like Marvel and DC Comics during gameplay. 2. Ethnographic observation and surveys of HeroClix players found that those motivated by fun and enjoyment drew more upon storyworld information, while competitive players focused more on game mechanics. 3. Players were also influenced by their comic book preferences, choosing figures and teams from stories they followed more closely in other media.
