An Introduction to Using Roleplaying Games In Game-Based Learning and Gamification
1h 4m · PublishedOne of the greatest books on the history of the tabletop roleplaying hobby is by Jon Peterson. It is called Playing At The World.
Empire of Imagination is a biography of one of Dungeons&Dragons' founders, Gary Gygax.
The basic rules set to Dungeons & Dragons that Jon mentioned in the episode.
The Call of Cthulhu roleplaying game Tracy's been getting into of late. One of the great classics.
One of my enduring classics - Rolemaster.
The World of Darkness setting for those into contemporary supernatural/monster stories.
Jon's favorite RPG these days is Numenera. It's character creation system will be discussed in episodes to come.
We discussed our great experience playing Hillfolk, which you can check out at the link.
Play These Roleplaying Games (season 2.8)
0s · PublishedJon recommends the following three roleplaying games (RPGs): HARP, The Quiet Year and Numenera.
If you'd like to support this work, here are links to my two books for HARP: HARP Loot (about, well, loot), and HARP Folkways, about building meaningful, realistic cultures for game settings.
Tracy recommends these great games: Fiasco, Dread and Dungeons&Dragons, 5th edition.
Your HOMEWORK!
Find a Con or a Meetup near you and visit. Play some games from earlier in the season or just explore and learn.
Create a character in some RPG system, or create yourself in the unforgivingly honest Time Lords.
Play a game solo, like Arkham Horror: The Card Game.
Listen to some podcasts, like How We Roll or Godsfall.
Read a book about games and gaming, like Greg Toppo's "The Game Believes In You," (the actual title...not the one I made up from whole cloth in the episode..., Jane McGonigal's "Reality Is Broken," Aaron Dignan's "Game Frame," "Second Person," or my own offering "Level Up Your Classroom."
