The Rulers of Pegolia 2023 begins!

 It's happening again! Three different schools, three classes, one game.

Since my fifth graders (10-11 y.o.) are learning about what a good ruler is according to our lesson plan, I get way too ambitious. (Apparently that might be undiagnosed ADHD showing) Each student and the teacher play a kingdom/domain in the lands of PEGOLIA (Pego is the abbreviation of protestant-evangelical religion education in Dutch here in Belgium). Over the coming weeks each player can make actions as a ruler, which will have consequences. This year I'm testing out Roll For Shoes as the engine to see how that goes. They do not know of each other which rulers they are. I know, and I play a kingdom as well, but it's just an NPC which I can use to make things interesting for the players. They know this (but not who I play).

This year, I'm introducing:

• Emperes Chlar of the empire of Messias. Her Empire floats on the river.

• Emperor Alex of the empire of Signapour. His empire in the mountains is known for their Vibranium mines.

• Emperor Shibi Js of the empire of Bradj. It is known that in his empire, people have special eyes that give superpowers (read as Sharinggan from Naruto)

• The Small Lover Berticobella, ruler of Sliefingtime. She is known to speak all languages.

• King Jayden of the nameless kingdom. His kingdom is known to float on the sea.

• Emperes Laurin of Israel. Her Empire is known to float on the river.

• Wildekind (Wild Child), Prince of the Animals, who rules over the Donkerwoud (Dark Forest). It is said that he kan speak with the animals.


Two of them immediately start with a dilemma, since they both chose the same starting tile. 
Choices will be need to be made.
