Synopsis

Education and Analog Role-Playing Games: TeachRPG – Tabletop Role-Playing Games in the Classroom, Volume II brings together a diverse group of educators and scholars who are using tabletop role-playing games (RPGs) in their classrooms to foster deeper engagement, build community, and support transformative learning. While educational games are increasingly available, many are created by designers without classroom experience or emphasize gamification through points and badges rather than the creation of immersive, gameful environments tied to real learning outcomes.

This volume fills a critical gap by centering the voices of practitioner-scholar educators who adapt RPGs to fit their unique disciplines, institutions, and student needs. Contributors share how these games enhance cognitive and affective learning, support marginalized students, and offer meaningful pedagogical opportunities for both instructors and learners. Striking a balance between practical strategies, empirical insight, and personal narrative, Teach RPG provides adaptable models for integrating analog RPGs into a wide range of classrooms. It moves beyond theory or anecdote to show how role-playing can be a rigorous, relational, and inclusive educational practice.
