From the library: Adventure Academy is a role-playing game like Dungeons & Dragons, but the rules have been simplified and the violence has been toned down for children ages 6+. It has a simple combat and adventuring system which streamlines the math and overwhelming options of other systems. A role-playing game is a story-telling game of make believe. It is usually led by one person who acts as the referee, also known as the Game Master or Dungeon Master. This person creates the framework of an adventure or mystery, and acts as the judge in interpreting the rules. The players are the heroes of the story. Acting cooperatively, they shape the story by fulfilling the quest, solving the mystery, rescuing the prince, etc. Success in casting magic, combat, or any other action is determined by rolling dice. What is the Adventure Academy? The Adventure Academy is a school that teaches children how to become heroes by training them in how to wield magic and fight the bad guys. Every student also has a magical pet that helps them during their adventures.
