Proposal sketch in response to https://introductiontodatavisualization.commons.gc.cuny.edu/blogpost-2-guidelines/

Research question: What is the most popular mix of Dungeons & Dragons characters should I have available when I host public pick-up games in bars across New York City? For years I used to organize open games of D&D at venues across Manhattan and Brooklyn – game stores, bars, cafes and more – in which people could drop by and play the famed fantasy role-playing game for a few hours and meet new people. To help facilitate set-up for such events, about eight years ago I created FastCharacter.com, a website allowing game organizers and players to create dozens or even hundreds of pre-generated character sheets used during the course of each game session. Should I find time to start running such open games again, I would want to know what materials I should prepare ahead of time.

Your audience: Dungeons & Dragons players, game organizers, and people interested in the rules of D&D.

Data: In the past four years, FastCharacter.com has been used by roughly 2 million users, creating more than 8 million character sheets. This dataset can be filtered and ranked to determine which characters are the most requested types for playing the game.
