Have you been dying to introduce young players to D&D, but think expecting them to read, comprehend, and retain the relevant information from the PHB is a bit much to ask? With this product, you can get kids to the table and start playing quickly. No reading is required. Truly Madly Deeply teaches Dungeons & Dragons through role-playing. Characters can progress from level 0 to 3 while training to become members of the Harpers. Meanwhile, the players will learn the spirit of the game as well as the mechanics while playing.
Here is some feedback received for this best-selling adventure series:
This is a really cool concept that allows new and young players to jump into the game without getting bogged down in mechanics and back story. Fireside conversation encourages newbies to 'feel out' what roleplaying is, while developing their character concept. Next the Harpers training camp is a cool excuse to throw some different challenges at the players, each designed for them to test out how different aspects of the D&D mechanics work. The adventure itself is solidly conceived and fun to read (some lovely comedic touches) with a variety of challenges for a well rounded intro into the game, as well as some memorable NPCs, such as the Harpers 'drill sergeant' (as he seemed to me!)... but the greatest value for me was the adventure's approach and this is something I think can be repackaged whenever someone says to me 'i wanna learn how to play D&D'!
From Jan C. (DMs Guild customer and father of a 7- and 9-year old and first-time DM):
My kids wanted to try DND and we started with another starter set that while fun wasnt really helpful or guiding to my kids who were beginners. Looking for something better, I landed on this one and it was definitely what i needed as a new DM as well. The first modules set things up nicely as they encourage the players to create their characters and make it feel natural. They even added some DM notes to help improve first time DMs like myself. Also includes the assests such as maps needed. Very happy and would highly recommend for first time DMs or Players.
From Travis Legge (Scarred Lands Line Developer) from early drafts of this product:
This is an excellent product designed to enhance the experience of character creation through storytelling. Aimed toward welcoming new players to Dungeons & Dragons, this module makes an excellent introduction to some of the game's concepts. The examination of character creation milestones accntuated by roleplaying choices could be equally useful to veteran players and troupes.

this product continues the theme of introducing the players to the world of D&D. In this module, basic system prmutations are explored through story-driven encounter and scnees. A truly inspired means of walking new players through the basics of Dungeons & Dragons!
