Educational Encounter Bundle for TTRPGS

If you've ever considered using tabletop roleplaying games to create engagement around education, then these resources are for you! 

The encounters can be used in the classroom, at an afterschool club, or at home by a parent who wants their players to get a little more out of the ttrpg experience other than just entertainment.

Designed as stand-alone activities, these educational encounters can be added to almost any setting. Each activity comes with a lesson plan, an assignment, a rubric, a student example, as well as extra activities you can use to expand the scope of the lesson. 

These lesson plans have been designed and tested by a professional DM and educator who uses tabletop roleplaying games in the classroom. The assignments use the "I", "We", "You" paradigm, which allows GMs to scaffold the level of difficulty for their players, and accommodate questions in game.
