Class Experience

During this ongoing Science fiction RPG course we will cover such academic subjects as understanding simple physics, science and its applications beyond earth, what struggles humanity would face once we are able to leave earth,  Social issues brought about by the distance  humanity is now separated by.  

These classes are learner led and will change weekly depending on the choices made by the students while playing. New learners will be incorporated into the narrative of our game as needed.

The world that has been built for this game, was made to help the students have discussions with their peers as they plan to solve a myriad of trials in the narrative of our game. 

This will be a premium experience with the use of a virtual table top to help manage their characters. Music and visual effects will be displayed on the virtual table top alongside with maps of the locations that will be explored 

Players will need the following:
-A pencil and some paper (for notes that you might want to make)
-A set of gaming dice that include the following (or a digital dice roller)
-A Computer able to run a chrome browser safari is not supported  
   
  3D6: Six sided dice.

Learning Goals

Students will learn the AGE system (Adventure Game Engine) an RPG game system.
They will become part of a cooperative improvisational storytelling  experience. So creating a narrative and improvising for their characters is a major skill they will learn

Other Details

Parental Guidance
Their will be action and harrowing circumstances. The choices the players make will have consequences. Violence will be part of the game but not glorified.
External Resources
Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.

Profile
Teacher expertise and credentials
I started gaming when I was 10 years old and instantly fell in love with it. It gave me a creative outlet and a playground to learn about the world and important issues like history, social justice, team work and problem solving.

Over the last 30 years, I have run thousands of games and have even had the joy of teaching my own 3 kids the art of role playing (Ages 14, 11 and 7).

I look forward to speaking with you soon and adventuring with you!

My Character Sheet: 
•Highly skilled in creating and advancing a games story while keeping forward momentum in the group.
•Experienced in creating challenges for players that stretch both their skills and imagination.
•Level 20 Sorcerer when it comes to improvisation. After 35 years of running games, I can handle just about anything that the party can throw at me.
•+10 to organization skills. Player forgot their character sheet? New player shows up mid game? I have you covered.
 •+10 to charisma. I speak fluent nerd and understand that joining a new group can be intimidating so I go out of my way to make everyone feel welcome. I am proficient at teaching new players how to play pen and paper role playing games.
•Level 20 Bard (with an epic boon). You will be hard pressed to find a more professional story-teller, verse maker, music composer or oral historian. I love to weave music and props into my story to immerse the player in interactive game play.
•Multi-tasker. I am able to run multiple NPC’s and story lines seamlessly weaving them into the story without breaking character or focus.
•Game Master mentoring available. Looking to offer something unique to your friends? I have experience teaching others how to be dungeon or game masters.
•Great with kids. I love introducing kids to the hobby and have experience working with ages 5-18, including those with learning challenges.
