Product Information

Solitaire role-playing adventures also experienced a boom in the 1980s. Many role-playing rulesets included solo adventures which were intended to teach the rules systems to the players. Some companies released lines of solitaire adventures for their own games. Examples of games with prolific solitaire lines were Dungeons & Dragons, GURPS, Das Schwarze Auge, DC Heroes, and Call of Cthulhu. Some third-party publishers continued to release solo adventures for established RPG systems (including Judges' Guild, who released solos for Advanced Dungeons & Dragons). Solitaire adventures were also featured quite frequently in professional RPG magazines and fanzines. Several solo adventures (such as those for Tunnels & Trolls, Dungeons & Dragons, and Das Schwarze Auge) were translated into other languages. Evans, R., Murphy, S., & Scourfield, J. (2015).

Nonetheless, there were books with more didactic purposes (ranging from historical series such as the aforementioned Time Machine to books with religious themes such as the Making Choices series). Also, a few branching-path books were aimed at adults, ranging from business simulations to works of erotica. Translated editions of Choose your Own Adventure, Fighting Fantasy and other English-language series only appeared in Eastern European countries after the fall of Communism. [33] Waite, S. (2020).

Some contemporary literary novels have used the gamebook format, including Kim Newman's Life's Lottery (1999) and Nicholas Bourbaki's If (2014). [47] Education [ edit ] During the popularity peak of gamebooks in Bulgaria, Bulgarian publishing houses believed that only Western authors would sell and, as a consequence, virtually all Bulgarian gamebook authors adopted English pseudonyms. [35] [36] This tradition persisted after their nationality was publicly disclosed. A smaller number of Hungarian authors also adopted Western pseudonyms, in addition to "official titles" that were also in English. [37] Choose Your Own Adventure". Gamebooks.org. 2004-06-09.

[ citation needed] Outside the English-speaking world (mid 1980s–) [ edit ] There are several examples of early works of art with branching narratives. The romantic novel Consider the Consequences! by Doris Webster and Mary Alden Hopkins was published in the United States in 1930, and boasts "a dozen or more" different endings depending on the "taste of the individual reader". [4] The 1936 play Night of January 16th by Ayn Rand, about a trial, is unusual in that members of the audience are chosen to play the jury and deliver a verdict, which then influences the play's ending: guilty or not guilty.

What is SEL?. https://casel.org/what-is-sel/ The homogeneity of this study’s sample population is another limitation. Participants were female educators in Canada, most of whom were of European descent and some of whom were not in full-time classroom teaching positions, thus the findings are not generalizable to a broader, more diverse sample of educators. Moreover, the findings may reflect western, settler-colonial perspectives such as a romanticized view of nature as a place where children can be free and wild (Hull, 2000; Taylor, 2017). It will be important for future research to include participants with diverse onto-epistemologies concerning nature and humans’ place in nature. Boileau, E. Y. S., & Dabaja, Z. F. (2020).

Like Fighting Fantasy, the writer was an experienced Dungeons & Dragons player who developed the setting of Lone Wolf for his campaigns. [30] However the books were also inspired by medieval texts such as Gawain and the Green Knight and Le Morte d'Arthur. [31]

In the 1990s, the gamebook genre became highly popular in Bulgaria for approximately ten years. [35] Whilst internationally well-known series such as Choose Your Own Adventure and Fighting Fantasy were translated for the Bulgarian market, the works of numerous Bulgarian gamebook authors were most popular with readers.Jørring, A., Bølling, M., Nielsen, G., Stevenson, M. P., & Bentsen, P. (2020). Swings and roundabouts? Pupils’ experiences of social and academic well-being in education outside the classroom.

The first module which combined a branching-path narrative with a set of role-playing game rules was Buffalo Castle for the Tunnels & Trolls system (1975). Buffalo Castle was innovative for its time, as it allowed the reader to experience a role-playing session without need for a referee. It has been followed by many other solitaire adventures for the T&T system, as well as solos for other tabletop role-playing games.

Specifically, educators were invited to discuss their experiences with implementing outdoor learning, including their attitudes and perceptions of facilitating and supporting outdoor play in schools. To be included, educators needed to meet two inclusion criteria: currently teaching Kindergarten to Grade 3 in a public elementary school and available to participate in focus groups held via Zoom. Educators who met these criteria were then invited to provide their consent to participate in the research, complete a brief, online demographic survey, and select one of five prescheduled focus groups they were able to attend. Six to eight educators were then assigned to a focus group date based on their availability, a group size that is consistent with recommendations for virtual focus groups (Forrestal et al., 2015). Facilitated by the second author, a university researcher and experienced teacher and outdoor play facilitator, the focus groups took place in June and July 2020. Data saturation was reached after five focus groups discussions ( N = 36 educators). This is consistent with previous research suggesting that focus groups with a clear theme and participants who have met explicit inclusion criteria can reach data saturation in as few as five sessions (Namey et al., 2016).
