Scholarly Standing
dice: [](scholarly-standing-erlw.md#^scholarly-standing)
| dice: d6 | Standing |
|---|---|
| 1 | Revolutionary. Your work has upended scholarly consensus and reshaped the way other academics think about your field. Each new discovery you make is received with acclaim. |
| 2 | Respected. Your work is considered noteworthy, though not revolutionary. Scholars in your field follow your writing and efforts with interest. |
| 3 | Anonymous. Try as you might, you can’t earn positive or negative attention. Even worse, after you’ve published your findings, more prominent scholars have made similar statements to much acclaim. |
| 4 | Misguided. Your theories challenge scholarly consensus and are discounted. A prominent scholar argues against your conclusions, and their voice carries the day… for now. |
| 5 | Fringe. You work on the edges of your field, advocating bizarre theories that challenge scholarly consensus and seem patently outrageous, even scandalous. |
| 6 | Fraud. For right or wrong, many in the academic community believe you have invented at least some of your “findings” to earn attention. |
