Given this potential, further research is necessary to explore practical and innovative methods for integrating historical information into gameplay mechanics. We developed the Player’s Guide (PG) for a TableTop RPG (TTRPG), systematically incorporating social and political elements from a specific historical era. This study contributes to the growing body of knowledge on the educational potential of TTRPGs, offering valuable insights into the role of the PG in enhancing historical understanding.
