Meaningful questions for building a better Role-Playing Game World and our Real World.

"Building A Better World" is an RPG-based curriculum that will lead youth and adults through the process of creating a game setting as a faith development and community-building exercise reflecting Unitarian Universalist values.

The curriculum will help participants co-create a world setting for a role-playing game while exploring questions of ethics, morality, and social justice. With discussion questions and activities, participants will explore the topics of race, ecology, mortality, class, abilities, goals, community, gender identity, diversity, exclusion, cultural appropriation, and all of the “ism's” that plague our attempts to build a better world. While building a better world for their chosen role-playing game, participants may discover ways to build a better world in the here and now.

The curriculum is game system agnostic-- meaning it can be used with any game system, setting, or genre. In the collaborative spirit of both role-playing games and Unitarian Universalism, we commissioned contributions in a rich diversity of styles and subjects, encouraging submissions from BIPOC, LGBTQ+, and youth artists. We engaged consultants from within Unitarian Universalism to guide us in how best to address issues of racism, colonialism, cultural appropriation, ableism, and accessibility.
