KyEdRPG
Welcome to Kentucky Educators for Role Playing Games site!
kyedrpg.com
KyEdRPG has two main purposes:
To share stories of how tabletop role playing games (TTRPGs) can and are positively impacting students in Kentucky and beyond, in the areas of academics, social-emotional learning, and durable skills like critical thinking and collaboration. On social media, please share your own stories using the hashtag #KyEdRPG!
To provide Kentucky educators -- and others! -- with TTRPG instructional resources for school (lesson plans, online and offline tools and products, tips for managing extracurricular gaming clubs, etc.).
While KyEdRPG's main focus is on TTRPGs that usually involve dice to resolve actions (the most popular example being Dungeons & Dragons), it may include some closely related role-playing content. For example, a link to an educational video game that involves players taking on the roles of clearly defined characters that make choices which impact a narrative might qualify for a shoutout on the Resources page.
Educational use of TTRPGs does belong as a specific subset of game-based learning; however, game-based learning in general (while definitely a topic worth discussing!) is too broad a subject for KyEdRPG.
Thank you for exploring the site, and I hope you find inspiration!
