A sociedade atual passa por grandes mudanças a partir do surgimento da cultura digital. Esta característica demanda um novo olhar e uma nova forma de gerir quaisquer processos nos quais ocorram interação humana. A educação é uma das áreas alvo de estudos para implementação dessas inovações, e o uso de técnicas aprendidas a partir dos games é cada vez mais frequente nas pesquisas e práticas criadas. A presente pesquisa consiste numa análise documental de livros de RPG sobre as ferramentas e processos utilizados na construção de histórias compartilhadas, visando identificar as práticas do narrador de jogos de RPG que podem ser aproveitadas por professores em suas atividades didáticas. Trata-se de uma pesquisa qualitativa aplicada à prática docente, com objetivo descritivo-explicativo de analisar a utilização de elementos de jogos de interpretação de personagens (RPGs) para fins didático-pedagógicos. Quanto aos procedimentos, é uma pesquisa híbrida, documental com assimilação de estudo de caso por lidar com livros de referência de RPGs e suas possíveis utilizações em ambientes de aprendizagem. Os RPGs são uma atividade que vêm influenciando a cultura, principalmente o entretenimento, desde a sua concepção no início da década de 1970. Almejando contribuir para as práticas didáticas e planejamento didático, esta pesquisa apresenta materiais referenciais para que professores possam utilizar práticas e técnicas utilizadas usualmente por narradores de RPG. Os termos encontrados nos livros foram associados aos conteúdos escolares, ao planejamento didático do professor e aos prazeres envolvidos na prática lúdica de contar e compartilhar histórias. Foi possível estabelecer fortes relações entre o conteúdo do jogo e a prática docente e constatar vários pontos de imbricação entre o RPG e as teorias educacionais, abrindo um amplo
leque de opções para pesquisas adicionais.

Emerging in the 1970s, the Wargame Chainmail and the first RPG shared the medieval fantasy genre to explore interactive narratives. In this article, we’ll analyze the main vast narratives of the medieval fantasy genre involving RPG and Wargames and its transmedia’s implications. Some systems of rules have their game mechanics discussed, building the basis for the experience of using the RPG as a tool for creative support and cohesion of narrative in the scenario Shiang’s Lands. Using rules of both, RPG and Wargame, this article exposes the creative process and the transmedia’s implications of the expe-rience analyzed.

This document provides an overview of the origins, evolution, debate, and current applications relevant to the Transtheoretical Model (TTM), also known as Stages of Change (SoC) and relevance to role-playing games. It includes some of the debate about the viability, or argued lack thereof, for programs based on the TTM in any setting. The paper also includes suggestions for the potential relevance this model may have in the development and use of recreation education and therapeutic recreation interventions and role-playing games. Additionally, this paper includes some examples of potential implementations based on the TTM / SoC approach. Using the TTM as a guide from a TR perspective, it may be possible to develop a graduated series of role-playing gaming interventions for various populations.

For those discussion #InteractionPatterns, especially in the context of #RPG, here is a refresher on my adaptations of the Avedon 1974 Interaction patterns as applied to typical uses of all 4 formats of role-playing games: #TRPG, #LARP, #CRPG, #SABM (Solo Adventure Books & Modules). These diagrams represent the typical interaction patterns found in the most common default uses of these recreational activities.

RESUMO: Este trabalho, vinculado ao PIBID – Programa Institucional de Bolsa de Iniciação à Docência-subprojeto Letras-Língua Portuguesa de Língua Portuguesa (Unioeste – campus de Marechal Cândido Rondon), tem por objetivo expor a atividade, ainda em fase inicial, desenvolvida pelos autores para o ensino de leitura para alunos do Nível Fundamental, séries finais. O trabalho desenvolvido, em suma, é constituído por dois contos (um deles de produção própria e o outro retirado da extinta revista " Dragão Brasil ") com os quais os estudantes devem adotar determinadas posturas para resolver os enigmas utilizando-se de informações recolhidas ao longo da narrativa. A inquietação que deu origem à atividade supracitada é sobre a possibilidade de fundir os aspectos leitura fruição e leitura estudo de texto (Riolfi (2008)) e, desta forma, vislumbrar a pertinência (ou sucesso) de uma empreitada pedagógica como essa.

OVERVIEW This document attempts to summarize with a brief list the pros and cons of each role-playing game (RPG) format. The hope is that this differentiation between formats will improve the quality of future research studies and program planning for those professionals in various disciplines using these recreational activities as intervention modalities. UPDATED OVERVIEW This is still and ongoing work in progress, continuing to be updated as the body of new research and evidence-in-practice data grows. This document has been intermittently updated based on the research and evidence-in-practice available from public and private third-parties, as well as the evolution of the Hawkes-Robinson Role-Playing Game (RPG) Model and the Four Major RPG Formats initially outlined in 1983 and 2004.

Este livro reúne pesquisas diretamente ligadas ao Role-playing Game (RPG). Por vezes alvo de críticas negativas pela mídia geral desde seu surgimento e popularização, o RPG passou a ser visto como um jogo que ajudou a socializar pessoas e estimular-lhes a imaginação. Diversos sistemas de jogos e regras foram criados, e com tamanha popularidade desse jogo sua inserção no meio escolar e acadêmico era previsível. Procuramos, nesse livro, trazer importantes colaborações de pesquisadores de todo o Brasil sobre como o RPG pode ser benéfico a mediadores e público-alvo envolvidos. A falta de familiaridade aos assuntos não se mostra empecilho a quem nunca esteve envolvido com esse tipo de jogo, e – como qualquer outro desafio – qualquer interessado poderá aprender e ensinar com o RPG, se dedicar seu tempo para tal. Os textos aqui contidos podem ser um bom ponto de partida para essa nova jornada.

A brief background summary of research information about the effects of role-playing gaming upon participants, including their use as an intervention modality to achieve therapeutic and educational goals for various populations, including: Autism spectrum (ASD/PDD), at-risk youth, brain injury (stroke, traumatic brain injury (TBI), etc.), the Deaf community, ADHD, depression, and social phobias.
While the focus is primarily on tabletop & live-action RPGs, all formats of role-playing gaming are discussed, including Choose Your Own Adventure (CYOA) books, offline and online computer-based RPG, live-action role-playing (LARP), and tabletop RPG.
Briefly provide historical information and examples of each game format in a typical recreation setting, then proceeds with the existing research using RPG for various educational and therapeutic interventions from other disciplines (psychiatry, psychology, education, sociology, cognitive, behavioral, etc.), then illustrates how TR methodologies are ideal for optimizing these activities as an intervention modality for many populations in group and individual settings to achieve client therapeutic & educational goals.
This paper focuses on a more hands-on practical application of RPGs for education and therapy, rather than a more abstract theoretical discussion, though these theories are referenced for the reader to read elsewhere in more depth.

Creating a game based on JRR Tolkien's beloved epic high fantasy books is like stepping into the ring of a championship fight. The pressure is so high, you'll either choke, leading to a terrible game, or you'll bring your A-game and knock the whole thing out of the park. Fortunately, the developers of Middle-Earth: Shadow of War managed, against all odds, to do the latter. Wrapped inside the game's epic Tolkien-esque story lies a superbly designed action-adventure RPG that's unlike any other title in its class.

This document provides some observational views by the author about the unnecessary barriers to entry when introducing new players to role-playing games. This document was prepared as part of the planned programming for presentation and attendee discussion at the international researchers RPG Conference July 10th, 11th, & 12th, 2020. It was revised in late 2020 for general public release. This is a draft pending citations cleanup. Most of the citations were in the slideshow and need to be migrated to this document and formatted to fit APA standards. This session was meant for professionals to share their observations and organizational challenges and successes with each other, so some portions may come across as promotional in the context of sharing with others. The current references section is a mess of notes. A later revision of this document is expected in 2021 with these citations and any relevant updates in preparation for the international research RPG Conference 2021. See the Author's Relevant Body of Works at the end of this document for most of the relevant citations. NOTE THAT I ALREADY HAVE THE CITATIONS RELEVANT TO ALL OF THE (citation pending) placeholders, I just haven't had time yet to integrate them properly for APA formatting. This will be resolved in future drafts.

Who does not love RPG games? A game that gives the game RPG Android Game such as the role of fantasy figures with the collaboration to produce the whole story. RPG games are usually more familiar is the adventure game. Indeed RPG game is very exciting and fun when playing, especially if the game is presented with a 3D view of the graph. However, when you play RPG games must comply with prescribed rules, where players are able to improvise establish a direction and a victory in the final game. In addition, the RPG memilikidaya game a special attraction because of the grain in it can invite players to use their imagination. RPG SoulCraft that offers action and fights, but that's where the players will be given a variety of situations of violence and riot. Of course, this game is very challenging to play. Although SoulCraft hampi game similar to the game Dungeon Crawler, but graphic design is more amazing because a lot of action are presented. Unfortunately this game does not have a CoOp Multiplayer mode, so it is less fun when played. Fortunately already equipped with a variety of game modes such as the arena, boss fights, and time run. 2. Dungeons of Evilibrium This is the game presents a card battle RPG that uses elements of the strategy. Where there is a stack of cards with increasing levels of card players, then build decks of cards that is the envy of many troops.

Revision: 20171129c The approaches discussed in this document can be applied to all RPG Formats in various ways, with different strengths and weaknesses presenting in each format: Tabletop, Live-Action (LARP), computer-based (including solo, multiplayer, augmented reality (AR), virtual reality (VR), etc.), or solo adventure books/modules. Ideally a mix of all 4 formats would likely have the most powerful effects. This document focuses primarily on the tabletop format of role-playing games, though not exclusively. A number of well research techniques that can be used to increase the likelihood of participants better encoding information into their memory, include the following considerations: • Avoid divided attention situations, keeping distractions from the topic being studied to a minimum, to reduce the risk of various interference factors. • Deep level processing (172), including using " why questions " to improve elaboration & distinctiveness (173). To further the elaboration, focus on the specific meaning of the concept, and try to relate it to prior knowledge reinforcing the interconnections to concepts that you have already learned (172). • Distributed-practice / differential learning. Spread learning & retrieval/rehearsal trials out over time, rather than " mass learning " aka cramming. Address limitations of the processing of new information from Short Term Memory (STM) into Long Term Memory (LTM) process, considering chunking and other relevant issues, by having the study time broken up into shorter segments, with breaks in between, or topic shifts alternating, for a more distributed learning approach over time, rather than trying to cram (mass learning) in a very short time. • Over-confidence, or inaccurate self-assessment of competency areas. Use techniques and/or technologies that provide more objective feedback on areas you are struggling with, and help direct more time in the areas needing more work, and less time in the areas actually already mastered. • It is also critical to once again emphasize getting enough sleep, as well as sufficient exercise. All of the above is significantly inhibited by lack of sufficient sleep and exercise strongly promotes cognitive processes.

Sem negar a existência de diferenças relevantes entre os mundos virtuais criados com o apoio das tecnologias digitais e outros tipos de mundos simbólicos, este texto recorre à teoria literária para propor a noção de 'universos diegéticos interativos'. Para isso, parte de uma discussão das semelhanças e diferenças entre os mundos virtuais instituídos com computadores e outros tipos de mundos simbólicos (particularmente na literatura, cinema, televisão). Para além de localizar os mundos virtuais digitais em relação aos formatos que os precederam, essa formulação ajuda a compreender a permeabilidade da representação diegética, contribuindo para a discussão do potencial de novas possibilidades como, por exemplo, a realidade aumentada e a realidade alternativa.

Este trabalho apresenta uma experiência que compreendeu a elaboração, aplicação e análise de uma unidade didática, a qual propõe a introdução do RPG como instrumento para a avaliação e verificação da aprendizagem dos alunos. A literatura especializada aponta que o uso de jogos facilita a aprendizagem, tornando-a mais prazerosa, possibilitando também a aplicação prática dos conhecimentos adquiridos em sala de aula, dando significado prático ao que foi ensinado. Este trabalho propõe o uso do jogo de RPG como instrumento avaliativo, abordando os conteúdos tidos como básicos de Termodinâmica, principalmente os conceitos de transferência de calor, temperatura, escalas termométricas e suas relações, equilíbrio térmico, capacidade térmica, calor específico e quantidade de calor. Elaboramos e aplicamos uma aventura de RPG com alunos voluntários de uma turma do segundo ano do ensino médio de uma escola da rede pública estadual da cidade de Teresina (PI). A aventura abordou os conteúdos já mencionados em situações de desafios no decorrer da aventura. A análise dos resultados indicou algumas dificuldades de compreensão de alguns conceitos físicos, como o de calor específico, por exemplo. Apesar disso, entendemos que a aplicação da aventura logrou êxitos no que diz respeito à aprendizagem da maioria dos alunos, tanto em relação a uma melhor compreensão dos conceitos físicos abordados, quanto ao procedimento matemático envolvido nos problemas propostos.

Resumo: O RPG D&D é um jogo de interpretação fantasiosa sobre uma narrativa contemporânea acerca do medievo. Desta forma, se apropria, associa e (re)produz o medievo de forma peculiar, (re)construindo uma "Idade Média fantasiada" caracterizada, também, por aspectos mitológicos que, muitas vezes, não são definidos historicamente. Esta investigação é parte do projeto de pesquisa em desenvolvimento com financiamento do PIBIC-UFBA sob orientação do Prof. Dr. Marcelo Pereira Lima. Como se trata de um trabalho preliminar, vamos apresentar as principais diretrizes que norteiam a tentativa de problematizar inicialmente como e por que são produzidas essas representações que permanecem no imaginário contemporâneo sobre a Idade Média.

Muito é discutido sobre o papel do bibliotecário como mediador de leitura, especialmente no ambiente escolar. No entanto, pouco se trata dos interesses de leitura do público juvenil, geralmente enfatizando-se somente a leitura infantil. Frente aos poucos estudos sobre esse público tão singular e exigente no que concerne à leitura, É então proposta a exploração da categoria de literatura infanto-juvenil denominada livro-jogo, a qual possibilita a união do lúdico e da leitura, oferecendo ainda potencial para discussão da interatividade do ato de ler literatura. Inicialmente,disserta-se sobre suas tipologias mais comuns e seus diferenciais em relação a outros livros. Foi realizado ainda um breve histórico do livro-jogo no mundo e no Brasil, enfatizando sua origem e similaridade com a prática do RolePlaying Game (RPG). Posteriormente, é discutido o potencial do livro-jogo para a compreensão da leitura literária. Partindo dessas considerações, é realizada uma reflexão a partir da teoria da leitura sobre as características da leitura literária, de forma a embasar a proposta de utilização do livro-jogo como um dos tipos de leitura que melhor ressalta estas características, devido a sua dinâmica interna. Ao fim, sugerimos que o livro-jogo seja trabalhado por mediadores de leitura não apenas como indicação de leitura para jovens, mas também através de ações na biblioteca que discutam sua potencialidade de conscientizador do processo de leitura literária.

Lack of storm patterns (storm hyetograph) in many catchments is an important issue in hydrological analysis. So, in many studies various methods are developed to generate storm pattern. There are uncertainties in generated storm patterns due to uncertainty of generating method (model uncertainty) and uncertainty of the variables affecting the storm patterns such as the total depth of rainfall, rainfall duration and dimensionless hyetograph (inherent uncertainty). This study developed the Rain Data Processor (RDP) and the Rain Pattern Generator (RPG) models to generate storm patterns based on Mass curve method with considering inherent and model uncertainty in ungauge catchments by using the Monte Carlo simulation and Bootstrap resampling. Methodology of this study is applied in Iran (Seymareh catchment).According to the statistics of generated peak intensity by the RPG model; there is an acceptable agreement between observed and generated hyetographs. Also, the RPG model is more accurate than triangular hyetograph model in generation of storm pattern. [A. Sharafati and B. Zahabiyoun. Stochastic Generation of Storm Pattern.

Jedną z najważniejszych przyjemności gier RPG jest możliwość wcielania się w wyobrażone postaci. Proces kreowania i rozwijania ich tożsamości będzie określał charakter danej gry. W poniższym artykule chcę przyjrzeć się możliwościom konstruowania tożsamości bohatera gracza, jakie projektanci implementują w systemach reguł gier. W dyskusji o elementach reprezentacji postaci, a najczęściej w takich kategoriach przedstawia się tożsamość bohaterów, nierzadko zapomina się o wymiarze mechanicznym gry. Mój artykuł skupia się na warstwie zasad i reguł kreacji oraz rozwoju postaci dwóch systemów RPG. Za przykład posłuży klasyczna gra Dungeons & Dragons 3.5 oraz bardziej współczesna Klanarchia. Materiałami do analizy będą karty postaci obu systemów oraz fragmenty podręczników. Posłużę się językiem opisu reguł gier Miguela Sicarta oraz ludologiczną perspektywą takich autorów jak Jesper Juul i Espen Aarseth, a także popularną wśród projektantów gier fabularnych tzw. teorią GNS.

Resumo: Neste artigo apresenta-se um breve relato de uma relação com o Role Playing Game e o teatro nos últimos 20 anos, e comoinfluenciou a minha vida e, desta forma, como pode ser uma excelente ferramenta para apresentar valores ambientais. Assim, buscou-se responder a seguinte questão "O RPG pode ser capaz de nos motivar a uma mudança permanente na forma com que nos relacionamos com o meio ambiente?" O meio ambiente é o local aonde nós vivemos, e todos com que nos relacionamos fazem parte deste. Então, uma mudança para melhorar a forma como interagimos com os outros realizará alterações no modo como atuamos com o meio ambiente. Nesse contexto, serão realizadas as seguintes ações em busca de uma mudança. Primeiramente, serão narradas três aventuras de RPG, cada uma com três encontros de períodos de uma hora. Cada uma das aventuras terá seis participantes. Depois de cada sessão e no final de cada aventura, haverá pequenas discussões sobre o que ocorreu em busca de uma reflexão sobre os fatos que ocorreram na sessão de jogo e como estes se interagem com o ambiente aonde os participantes estão envolvidos. AbstractIn this project I present a brief account of my relationship with Role Playing Game and theater over the last 20 years, and how it influenced my life and in this way can be an excellent tool to present environmental values. In this project I try to answer the following question: "Can RPG be able to motivate us to a permanent change in the way we relate to the environment?" The environment is where we live, and everyone we relate to is part of this. So a change for the better in how we interact with others will bring about changes in the way we interact with the environment. In this context the following actions will be carried out in search of a change. Firstly, three RPG adventures will be narrated, each with three one-hour period encounters. Each of the adventures will have six participants. After each session and at the end of each adventure there will be small discussions about what happened in search of a reflection on the facts that occurred in the game session and how these interact with the environment where the participants are involved.

Roleplaying games (RPGs) are an activity in which a group of people (called the players) creates and roleplays characters in a world devised by one other participant, called the Game Master, who describes the results of their actions as well as the actions themselves of everything and everybody else in this created world. The malleability of this world, coupled with the RPGs’ social aspect, parallels the socially constructed reality which usually surrounds us. In this paper I collect a series of impressions from a few roleplaying sessions during which different groups of players attempted to construct new realities. In this sense, I examine the shared creation of reality out of empty space, exploring the potential inherent in roleplaying as a metaphor for organizing. I look for non-standard view-points on organizing which emerge from these sessions, and examine the process itself, not trying to pinpoint any regularities, but rather seeking the unusual and the sublime.

The past is still very present for many. We regularly meet people in the gaming community who do not understand why we "waste" time talking about all the misconceptions of the past regarding role-playing games and gamers. This is because outside of the fandom bubble, a very large percentage of people unfortunately still believe the negative myths and stereotypes. If we don't address those issues up-front and head-on, it is literally the difference between our programs being accepted or denied.
A historical context is important in being prepared for any potential “push back” that may sometimes occur because of many inculcated conceptions regarding role-playing gaming and gamers.
Even as recently as 2019, we have run into many settings and people who still believe the inculcated negative stereotypes and myths about role-playing gamers and games.
Outside of the geek culture "bubble", the majority of people need to be educated about the myths and realities of role-playing games. We run into hundreds of parents a year worried about the dangers of their child participating in a role-playing game program. We are usually able to assuage most of these concerns if given the chance to present our methodical approach to these discussions.
We literally have to spend most of our initial presentation when we first approach new clients outside of fandom, addressing their concerns that role-playing games / Dungeons & Dragons are dangerous or inherently evil.

Abstract—The ever increasing demand for improvements in software maintainability and modernization cannot be met through traditional techniques of software development and modernization. Most approaches to software development and modernization do not explicitly address software reuse however new approaches that address issues and concerns of software reuse must be developed. The benefits of software reuse are widely accepted by software engineers and developers. However based on our previous work in software reuse for the modernization of legacy systems, we have identified the need to build a knowledge based software reuse process and a reuse repository that manages reusable artefacts to enable software reuse to become an integral phase in the legacy system modernization process. Our latest legacy system modernization approach incorporates a reuse process and repository, which we have called the Knowledge Base Software Reuse (KBSR) Process and the KBSR Repository. The KBSR Process ...

Este artigo visa evidenciar o uso de técnicas e recursos de composição musical como elementos de auxílio construtivo às outras partes constituintes de um jogo eletrônico - especialmente a narrativa e seu gameplay. Isto foi feito através da análise da trilha musical de um consagrado RPG japonês - Chrono Cross (1999) - e considerando sua ligação com o game como um todo. Os resultados apontam para uma relação intrínseca entre música e a mídia à qual se associa, além de uma clara preocupação do compositor Yasunori Mitsuda em buscar uma unidade estética e funcional.
