As the child of two educators, I can't think of a more meaningful way for my TTRPG creations to be used than in the classroom. Read about how Dan Burkey adapted my game Super City and the VRBS system that powers it.
The latest #kyedrpg "Educator Story" is Dan Burkey. He's used TTRPGs in a variety of K-12 classrooms and content areas, including drama, STEAM, social studies, science and even AP French! Read his interview below! #EduSky #TTRPGsky

So proud of Michelle Gross, the 2026 Kentucky Teacher of the Year who was featured in my book (alongside Sarah Parnell and @collinsclasssc.bsky.social) for her work on "The Academy" classes! #PolyhedralPedagogy #kyedrpg
In 1969, a Minnesotan named Dave Arneson came down to Wisconsin and first met Gary Gygax. Five years later, what they designed together would not just be a new game, but a new form of gaming. It's worth noting that Arneson and Gygax did this during some of the most tumultuous years of our country's existence. Sometimes, it takes millions of people to change the world. Sometimes, it just takes two. Let us remember that what we let happen in Dave's state could then happen in Gary's state. And then, yours. And then, mine. In this moment, let us find courage in the stubborn kindness of strangers, and embrace love, joy, and hope over division, hatred, and hopelessness. We need every member in all the states of our adventuring party to unite, so we can meet and rise above the obstacles of injustices ahead.
