School RPG Club
Donation protected
Greetings!
I am a middle school teacher in Michigan. This year, I started a club to play tabletop role playing games (RPGs) with some of my students. What started out with two small groups at lunch has now expanded to five groups playing each week.
I have three groups playing Dungeon Crawl Classics RPG and two groups playing D6 Star Wars, right now. The kids in the club are having a great time, and have shown great interest in other types of RPGs.
The club has been a fantastic experience, and many of the kids in the group are interested in continuing the experience next year. The club has been a great social outlet for many kids who don't fit into the traditional social groups at the school, and new friendships are forming because of the game.
Role playing games help build social interaction, collaboration, problem solving, and math skills, as well as imagination.
Unfortunately, the school does not have resources to fund the club. I am happy to donate my lunch time and planning period to run the games, but I would love to see the club continue to grow and expand into other games.
My vision is to build a RPG library for the school, of both old and new types of games (and of course, dice!). Students could then check games out and play them on their own.
I would look to add copies of currently available games (5th edition Dungeons and Dragons, Fantasy Flight Star Wars, Rifts, Swords and Wizardry, and Labyrinth Lord to name a few) as well as classic, out of print games that can be added for a reasonable price (Marvel Super Heroes, Star Frontiers, Gamma World, Car Wars, and older versions of D&D, for example).
The plan is for the club to continue meeting once a week during summer break, at the local library! Every donation will help and is much appreciated! You will be helping kids grow their imagination, make connections with other middle schoolers, and creating a library for kids to play with for years to come!
In lieu of a monetary donation, I would also gladly accept any used gaming books that anyone would like to donate. Books can be sent to the following address:

Thanks so much for all of the support!
