What Educators Are Saying

Goodreads

"This book is a labour of love and adventure! It is beautifully illustrated and has lots of detailed explanations and insight. As an educator, I see so many possibilities and positive ways role play games and Zach's way of working empowers kids."

"My son has been playing role play games with Zach over the last few years and has grown as a thinker, strategist and in his creativity through his programme."

Goodreads

"As a teacher and a gamer (teacher-gamer) this handbook is a pretty amazing tome of knowledge. It covers so many elements of how to take the gaming experience and bring it into the classroom. Zach provides practical advice mixed with storytelling."

"What Zach covers in detail is not only good ideas, rather a new approach to education. It takes the concept of gamification and flips it on its head... instead of thinking about what elements of games can be applied to learning, it asks one to think about the learning that happens while gaming."

"The depth of material, ideas, resources and detail in this book is staggering. I cannot begin to imagine the amount of time (in years) that has been dedicated to making such a comprehensive and well laid out guide to RPG's as this one. Very impressive."

"If you've ever believed RPGs could be more than "just a game," this book gives you the map to make that belief real. The Teacher Gamer Handbook isn't a manual to follow — it's an invitation to create, mess up, laugh, and learn alongside your student-players."
