其他詳情
父母的引導和規範
This is a role playing game about espionage operations during the Cold War. As such there will be simulated combat during the class. The students will simulate, quite closely, the conditions the spies/agents were under during these missions (fatigue, fear, time pressure, etc.). The emphasis of this class is to immerse the student in the complex critical thinking and problem solving assosiated with the world of international espionage. There will be no course language, inappropriate situations, or gratuitous violence described since it is not necessary for an exciting immersive experience. This is a very well-researched and purposeful class to give the student the closest understanding of these Cold War espionage operations.
Students must have a Roll20 account to participate. The age limit of 13 is strict due to the Outschool policy for such VTT (virtual table top services). We use this excellent service since it allows us to essential play a very dynamic "virtual board game" with theater of the mind for these exciting adventures. We use only Zoom video/audio during class, the Roll20 is shut off and it has been a very important tool for RPG games.

James Bond Adventures
Most adventures were based on specific James Bond movies, with a few vital plot details changed, so players who had seen the film would still be surprised by the adventure. A few were written as sequels to earlier adventures based on specific movies. All have been adapted for 5E mechanics and de-emphasize some of James Bond's less-than politically correct behavior.

NOTE: In 2003, Victory Games produced and released a "playtest-only" Adventure Module based on the book & film From Russia With Love. Planned for an official release in 2004, it indicates that VG (now under ownership of Wizards of the Coast) may have been in negotiations to re-acquire the rights to re-release the game and its supplements, with new ones planned as well. However, no further actions were taken. The module itself has since been reproduced online in PDF format.

Over the past 30 years I have taught I.G.C.S.E, A-Level, I.B., and A.P. History throughout the Atlantic region in both private and public school settings. During that time I have instructed students in a variety of rigorous exam subjects . I am a strong advocate of "immersion education" (historic setting RPG) in the Social Studies classroom. My passion is Military History, which I have been enthusiastically studying my entire life. My present RPG classes involve a number of embedded lessons learned (empathy, teamwork, problem solving, decision-making, etc.) through the Three Pillars of Adventure: Exploration, Role-playing, and Fantasy Combat. My Battles & Generals classes are akin to an "On-Going, interactive discussion-based documentary" as one student put it not too long ago....and that seems about right.
