[QUOTE="RyznFree, post: 5635871, member: 6680184"] [b]China bound with dice in hand[/b] First off, AWESOME read. I've been in the ESL game, in China and here in California, for the past 3 years and have always thought about using D&D to practice fluency and teach random new vocabulary words all while having memorable fun. Now I'm actually getting serious about this and bringing some books, dice, and premade adventures for my next stint in China. I have some questions though for the OP and anyone else who has experience playing D&D with ESL students. 1) How many versions of D&D have you tried, and which did you find the most successful? I myself would prefer to play Pathfinder due to the awesome pdfs and well made adventure paths, but am pretty sure I'd need an advanced group and time to utilize most of the rules. I've considered Castles and Crusades as it's rules light but have never played it before. Any suggestions? 2) Have you tried doing this outside of school as a side job? Like at your house or at a coffee shop? If so, how did it go as opposed to the school setting? 3) Any advice for someone who is dead-set on earning a living through dungeon mastering? Thanks, and look forward to hearing more! Ryan [/QUOTE]
