Description

You start Complete the Quest by choosing your adventurers. Then you discover, in a graphic novel story, that Queen Evergreen has been poisoned. To save her, your team of heroes must travel across a series of perilous fantasy landscapes, from a witch's desert tomb to a giant's palace in the sky. You choose how they win the day, using the greatest heroic power of all: your imagination. On your journey, you'll meet new heroes, battle living graveyards and a dungeon that's also a dragon, and discover that the poisoned book that attacked Queen Evergreen was just the first part of an evil plot that threatens the entire realm. Award-winning creator Brian McLachlan has created a new kind of role-playing adventure for all ages, which reads like a graphic novel but also plays like a game.

Reviews

"A bright, colorful comic ... A clear message of fighting intolerance and racism offers a wholesome frame for a magical world-saving mission. This is a warm, welcoming introduction to RPGs and collaborative storytelling." --Kirkus Reviews
