It's a really strange feeling, when you read a book in April and you realise you've just read your Book of the Year. Also, it's hard to believe I hadn't heard of Jane McGonigal before my Prince Consort picked her book during our monthly book hunt and said "You will love it". He was right, naturally.

The following note is a rough translation of the post Erpegi na pierwszy raz. The author, Michał Laskowski, kindly agreed to me translating and sharing his work.

I don't think I can move forward in writing about RPGs without discussing the mechanics. If you haven't played any proper RPGs before, you probably won't know that this aspect of games has been discussed for years, and involved: fandom wars, friendships ruined (seriously, been there) and physical injuries (OK, I might exaggerate a bit here) by almost all RPG players (minus D&D players who simply watch from the sidelines and eat popcorn ;) ).

In my previous articles I briefly described a phenomenon of Role-Playing Games and shared the reasons for which people play games - and enjoy it. Today, I want to demonstrate similarities between teaching and playing RPGs which will help me prove why RPGs can be the ultimate answer to Game-Based Learning approach.

This article is supposed to explain the phenomenon of RPG in general, so that in my future posts I am able to show you my idea of blending games into traditional lessons, creating an approach to TEFL where storytelling and adventure compensate for tedious grammar activities.

Today I want to focus on the idea of a game - it can be easily observed that games are more and more popular in TEFL, and in teaching in general, they are enjoyed by students and teachers alike and I wonder: have you ever thought what is the reason of the enjoyment?
