In this approach to the literary arts, students begin with an existing book or short story from the curriculum to create and present their own role-playing game (R.P.G.) using rules adapted from the Dungeons & Dragons 5th Edition Players Handbook.

Students are also encouraged to incorporate visual arts, music, and theatre into their presentations.
