Applied Tabletop Roleplaying Games

If you are completely new to tabletop roleplaying games, the best way to learn about them is to play or to observe. Sites like YouTube are filled with footage of tabletop roleplaying games, so just search around. We’ve also gathered a list of resources on using tabletop roleplaying games in education.

Kampala Yénkya

The original! Combine your imaginations to tell a story of the Kampala of tomorrow. Get your custom cards, or play using an ordinary deck of cards. See more here.

Kampala Yénkya Multiverse

Play this ‘rules-lite’ tabletop roleplaying game as a sequel to Kampala Yénkya, to carry on the story afterwards. One player takes the role of Storyteller (also known as Game Master), responsible for events in the world. Everyone else plays a character. Dice are used to resolve uncertainties and conflicts.

Funcertain Futures

Funcertain Futures is a version of Kampala Yénkya adapted for the UK. It has also been adapted to work with bigger groups. You can find it here in the free open-access textbook Creating With Uncertainty (Sussex Open Press, 2023). This slide deck may also be useful.
