53 Michael Low

Weird Games and Weirder People

Michael is the mind behind Luck of Legends, where he teaches writing using games like Stories RPG - which is also his creation, a play-to-learn literacy game and podcast. He coaches teachers, runs after-school programs, writes curriculum, and zealously preaches the gospel of re-designing learning in and out of the classroom.

We have been following each other's work on twitter for a couple of years or so, and I've always been interested in gaming for kids (I think it relates to me really hoping my kid gets into tabletop gaming), and having wanted to work as an educator as well, and seeing the potential RPGs in special have to teach us, I saw Michael as a must have guest for our weird show!

And just like the rest of us, he is a weirdo and we talk for quite a while about gaming, learning, creativity, community, the celebration of being weird and so much more. It was a wonderful chat! I hope you enjoy it as much as I did!

So listen up, and get weird with us!

Check out Michael's work!
