Ok, just a quick update.

Ok, just a quick update.  As the only Art Teacher in my high school, I’ve made it a point to introduce table top rpgs to the student body.  Now, this may seem a rather simple thing to do, however I assure you I’ve had my share of roadblocks.  That being said, students run gaming sessions using Runquest 6 (Elric of Melnibone – raiding Isle of the Purple Towns), Dungeon World (A student designed campaign set in an Ancient Wizard’s keep), Monsters and Magic (B4 The Lost City), and a Fiasco group which just finished up De’ Medici.  I have a steady group of students and most of them are not interested in the sports we have at the school, or any of the other clubs/groups – in essence they are sometimes marginalized or “the quiet ones”.  Little do people know that these are some of the most passionate and driven students I’ve had the privilege to know.  Just sharing with you all that table top rpgs are never out of style and there are still people who know that this kind of outlet for young minds is absolutely necessary.  Thanks for listening if you’ve read this far. 🙂

  1. Totally agree! We actually had a podcast on this very topic, if you haven’t heard it yet Jason, Dan and I talk about game suggestions and other topics for young players 🙂

  11. Marshall Miller Yes, that was part of the plan when I wrote the proposal. I have yet to implement anything other than what rpgs already do, and I don’t need to overwhelm the students with things to do just to satisfy those who really don’t get it. I usually just tell inquiring minds to come over and see for themselves. 🙂

  15. One more tidbit. They’ve begun to incorporate Dungeon World’s approach to failing dice rolls and have added consequences to games with only pass/fail systems and establishing more cinematic scenes into their role playing much like fiasco. They still have a lot to learn, but they’re well on their way.

  17. Nice work! When I was teaching art in high schools I always wanted to start something like this but I had enough road blocks just teaching art the way I wanted to. Schools can be very conservative places, again well done.
