Jump Into The Cauldron
So Much News!
Coming SOON - Resources from Workshops and Panels under the FOR YOU tab
Come Check Out Culliope at Origins in Columbus, Ohio June 19-23. Lots of panels to share on RPGs in EDU!
Culliope is presenting at the BGA Conference on 7/4 on the work of Gary Alan Fine and how it fits in with today’s schooling.
Hello, Travelers!
Pull up a chair to the fire. This big cauldron is where we cook up some fun and engagement for middle schoolers using the concepts and ideas of roleplaying games(RPGS). So grab a bowl and a spoon and let’s make something cool together!
You can also find us cooking up awesome campaigns and big picture ideas for our middle school roleplaying club, Heroes’ Hall.
Lastly, Culliope is working on a PhD in Education, and there will be buckets of resources and fun stocked on the pantry shelves as she finds them. So welcome, and Bon Appetit!
