The paper demonstrates one possible way of seeking an answer to the question: “What is the connection between a player’s general personality characteristics and the way he or she participates in role-playing game sessions?” An empirical study with 44 participants is presented, including its theoretical background, conduct, and results. Three phenomena play a pivotal role here: identity, narrative style of play and autonarrative inclination. The paper explains them, characterises the employed research methods and delineates the reasons for academic interest in these aspects of psyche. Afterwards, the results of the study are shown. They serve as an argument in support of the thesis that the three studied phenomena are related to one another.

The article is directed at the Polish researchers of narrative role-playing games; its aim is to encourage them to apply in their work certain theoretical concepts which seem to have been largely neglected in our academic discourse concerning RPGs. The most important categories suggested are: culture, popular culture, fans and fan communities. The paper also includes arguments in support of the claim that maintaining contacts with the fandom is a very valuable competence of a role-playing games researcher.

Narrative role-playing games (RPGs for short) are a relatively new cultural phenomenon, dating back only to the 1970s. They constitute an important part of contemporary Western popular culture. As in its other fields, crucial to RPGs are story schemata. However, no systematic analysis of these, regarding a selected set of texts, has been published so far. A promising analogy to film or literature research is encouraging enough to make an attempt to fill this gap. Although it is very difficult to study the schemata in real game sessions, scenarios may be analysed instead. Firstly, the stories they tell are an approximate equivalent of what happens during the game itself. Secondly, such research may yield verifiable results. And thirdly, the scenarios have numerous literary qualities, which allows the use of well-proven methods of literary studies. Especially useful in preliminary research are the methods of classical narratology, which has turned out to be a useful tool in analysing the phenomena of popular culture. With such instruments, twenty texts set in two game worlds (Neuroshima and Call of Cthulhu) have been researched. The analysis has led to distinguishing two story schemata, one for each universe. They exhibit both peculiarities and similarities. The article also suggests further possibilities for the academic exploration of RPG scenarios. Such research may increase our knowledge of role-playing games, and less directly - of the people who play and of the culture of the West, in which various kinds of games are gaining a more and more significant position.

Przełom XX i XXI wieku był ważnym okresem dla gier komputerowych w Polsce, w szczególności dla gier fabularnych i strategicznych. Do tytułów, które się wówczas ukazały, należą. Fallout, Starcraft, Baldur’s Gate, Heroes of Might & Magic III czy Planescape: Torment. Artykuł stanowi próbę wyjaśnienia, dlaczego te i inne zbliżone produkcje w istotny sposób wpłynęły na tożsamość wielu polskich graczy. Analizowane jest kilka czynników społecznych bądź kulturowych: socjodemograficzna charakterystyka grających, historyczny rozwój gier cRPG i RTS, rola polskich wydawców czy też znaczenie technologii. Metodologia badania czerpie z podejścia Wendy Griswold (w tym heurystyki rombu kulturowego), które podkreśla korzyści płynące z rozpatrywania przedmiotów kulturowych – tutaj: gier – w powiązaniu z ich twórcami, graczami oraz kontekstem społecznym. Pod względem teoretycznym artykuł jest ugruntowany w socjologii kulturowej.

The turn of the 21st century was a significant period for computer games in Poland, especially in the role-playing and strategy genres. The titles published at that time include Fallout, Starcraft, Baldur’s Gate, Heroes of Might & Magic III, or Planescape: Torment. The paper seeks to explain why these and other similar games had an important impact on the identities of many Polish players. Several social or cultural factors are analyzed, such as the players’ sociodemographic characteristics, the historical development of cRPG and RTS games, the role of Polish publishers and the significance of technologies. The methodology of the study draws on the approach of Wendy Griswold – including the cultural diamond heuristic – which emphasizes the benefits of investigating cultural objects (in this case, games) in relation to their producers, players, and the social context. In theoretical terms, the paper is grounded in cultural sociology.

Development and changes in Polish companies require changing methods and attitudes to giving lectures in economics studies. It is very important especially in case of management lectures like logistics. In this article we would like to demonstrate wide range of ways of teaching with use of mathematic modeling and quantity methods. It will be exemplified by logistics classes taught by a team from Logistics Department at the University of Economics in Wroclaw.
