Pædagog is a roleplay group made up of veteran and beginner roleplayers alike who seek to collaborate on developing unique and interesting worlds to explore through the realm of play-by-post roleplaying. To this end, we support players with constructing their own languages, building their own nations and worlds, designing engaging roleplays based on unique and fun concepts, and in strengthening their abilities as roleplayers, game masters, dungeon masters, and - above all - as writers.
Pædagog is not a casual roleplay group. Though we do like to maintain an atmosphere of family rather than a formal hierarchy, we take our roleplaying seriously and expect members to adhere to a certain level of quality as well as dedication when it comes to posting, setting up roleplays, and interacting with others. In short: be mature, be ready to learn, and be reliable. In return, we promise to be open, to be helpful, and to always support you in all your worthy, RP-related endeavors.
Come join a group that treats roleplaying as a proper hobby and pays it respect with quality and grace. Submit your application for Pædagog today and prepare to learn and teach your fellow nations what it means to be a roleplayer!

- Offsite Forum
Pædagog features an offsite forum where players can coordinate both nation and non-nation roleplays, find links on worldbuilding tips, and receive help with ideas for roleplays, locales, and characters. Being a member of Pædagog on Nationstates is required to be accepted onto the offsite forum. - IRC Room
Pædagog has a registered chatroom on the EsperNet IRC server, #NSP. Come join us if you want immediate help, want to coordinate plots for an existing roleplay, want to plan for a new roleplay, or just want to hang out and have fun. The chatroom has almost no downtime beyond EsperNet maintenance and usually has at least player or two in the afternoons and evenings, western and eastern US time. Use of #NSP is restricted to Pædagog members. - Region
The Pædagog Region is open to all members of the Pædagog Role Play Group. You will be given the password once you are approved. - Inter-Group Collaboration
Pædagog is not an insular group; we welcome collaboration with other groups. Pædagog members don’t have to give up their ties to other groups to join. Members of Pædagog will be able to represent the group if we are asked by others to assist on their offsite forums and will, in turn, be able to avail of assistance we are provided on our own forum by other groups, however this group does not replace established agencies such as the NS Mentor program, or the Cafe. - Events and Activities

- Be good to each other.
- Follow NS rules: Don't be a dick, keep it PG-13, stay on topic, off-topic chat to a minimum or done on IRC.
