Loft of doom survey test

The Loft of Doom Questionnaire

The Loft of Doom team is currently working hard on a new role-playing game system. However, we need the help of the general public to find out how to make our system better. If you do not play role-playing games please answer only the first section of the questionnaire; if you do role-play, please answer both section 1 and section 2.

So, �what�s in it for me?� I hear you ask. Well (other then the satisfaction of helping us to collect the information we need to make a great new system) at the end of the questionnaire you will have the option to enter your email address. If you do you will be added to our mailing list and by way of thanks you will be informed when the very first version of the system is available to the public. You could be one of the very first to give feedback and help shape the way this production grows. Of course entering your email address is optional and if you do not you will not be contacted by us. If you enter your email address but then change your mind, simply contact us at [email protected] and we will remove you from our mailing list.

Thanks again for your help; we look forward to your input.
