INTERACTIVE FANTASY #3 (currently at the printer; should be
released within a week) contains an article on the use of
tabletop RPGs to teach English as a foreign language (TEFL), which
may overlap with your subject, and which might be useful to your
research. It has an extensive bibliography as well.

If you don't have any other plans for your paper, we'd probably
also be interested in considering it for publication.
