My students have exposure to RPG crafts through my copious boxes of guff I keep in my classroom for lunchtime games. Imagine my surprise when a new student (aged 8) appeared one morning toting these...

StudentCraft

He had made the lot in one evening just by eyeballing my stuff, though some (like the circle room and the stairs) were originals. Unfortunately they are made with cellulose tape. I tried to direct him to the DMScotty vids, but apparently his home internet connection is dodgy or something.

To me, much better than bringing the teacher an apple!

Way to to go, Teach! That child will do great things -- in miniature, and beyond. Keep up the great work with the children who will decide our future for us...

Cheers!

Laughter is the ultimate expression of joy. Laughing at the antics of a 2-year-old child is not demeaning or degrading, it is your heart boiling over with joy, and laughter is the path of least resistance for it to escape! Let it out, laugh easy, laugh loudly, laugh as often as you can. Keeping it bottled up inside is a leading cause of stroke among uptight people around the Globe... Laughter is contagious -- let's start a new pandemic!

Very conservative community I work in.

No mention of dragons, or dungeons, just hero's and their adventures.

Its also sad to hear.
Still, Role Playing games are primarily about having a very imaginative conversation, where a series of hypothetical situations are resolved.. there is absolutely nothing about that which has no place in a classroom, in fact, I would say that it is nearly impossible to teach a subject without such hypothetical problem solving techniques.

and what does crafting teaches ?
i'd say if crafts are allowed in the class, they'd be glad to build the game themselves and then be playing it as a reward for creating such a game.

i remember my teacher saying things like... be good with me all week and i will give you a good friday afternoon !
and while it was hard work all week, the actual friday after noon was us playing games. and that was in 4th grade.

druid:"Do you need healing ?"
knight:"i still have half of my health, so im fine."
DM:"the boss, crits, max damage which does 20 damage !"
Knight:"MEDIC !!!!"

sgtslag: Ran out of Hot Glue, with only five hills left to add a skirt to the sides of. Wal-Mart closes at 8:00 PM, thanks to COVID. GRRRrrr! Another 30 minutes of work, and I would have been done: ~77 hills, modular, perfectly matching my table's ground cloth! Sept 23, 2020 2:50:39 GMT

sgtslag: Hoping to acquire a Chop Saw within the next two weeks. Then I will cut up MDF into triangles, to form the skeleton of my d20 fantasy world globe... Posting will follow, with how-to guide.
