Role-Playing Games are one of the most intriguing phenomena of modern entertainment, and probably the most interesting aspect of them is their educational value. In this short paper 1 tried to present three titles from this genre, that offer three different approaches towards education by playing. Tales of Eąuestria — My Little Pony RPG is a great introduction into Roleplaying itself. Apart from that, just like the animated series it teaches universal social and morał values such as friendship, honesty and loyalty. It was created for youngest players to be played with adults as Gamę Masters. Second gamę is Grey Ranks, gamę about Warsaw Uprising of American origin. It is greatly informational and educational for American youth, but for Polish players it most irnpor- tantly presents an unique opportunity for experiencing the menace and tragedy of II World War. Leaming by emotional experience is probably the greatest opportunity to deeply understand and remember this key events for Polish history. Lastly the Wild Fields (Dzikie Pola), the Sarmatian RPG by Jacek Komuda is one of the best sources for gaining history knowledge about First Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. It is leaming by playing in its purest form, regardless of Iow quality gamę mechanics that bared this gamę from broader audience.
