About the game

What you do in a play session

If you've always wanted to dive into the world of Advanced Dungeons & Dragons but found the rules too daunting, First Quest (also known as Introduction to Advanced Dungeons & Dragons) is your gateway! Released by Editora Abril, this kit was designed for beginners, offering a simplified version of the AD&D 2nd Edition system. Adventure awaits with character miniatures, a modular map, and even an audio CD with narration and sound effects in Portuguese, adding a special touch to the immersion. The game is cooperative, so you and your friends will need to work together to overcome the challenges, rolling dice and using your characters' abilities. One player takes on the role of the 'Dungeon Master,' guiding the narrative and controlling the monsters, making each game unique. It's a fantastic way to experience D&D's fantasy and adventure without getting lost in a sea of rules. Prepare your swords and spells, as dangers lurk around every corner!
