I love this! Saw that you design curriculum and would love to chat - I teach with RPGs and have been coaching teachers on implementing my writing curriculum using an RPG designed for the classroom; feels like we're doing connected stuff!
Thanks! I'll definitely check out your stuff. My email's gateleyclan@gmail.com
This is a very part time passion of mine, and I do it mainly for my two kiddos. Creature Orphanage specifically comes from not being able to find existing RPG / story games that *click* with my son who's extremely hyperactive, attention deficit. So, if you have suggestions, I'm all ears. He's 5yo.
Yes I do curriculum design as part of my day job, but I don't have a lot of experience with elementary kids or younger. I taught middle and high school for a few years, and now I design training curriculum for adults. I do feel my background helps somewhat with designing this kind of thing, but it's not exactly in my wheelhouse, IFKWIM
