ABOUT THE ADVENTURE
A nefarious theft has taken place at the famous Wish & Whistle Cafe! You and your fellow adventurers must assist the charming tea house owner, Celeste, in collecting clues to find the culprit without allowing her long awaited tea party from falling into chaos!
ABOUT THE SYSTEM
Dungeons & Dragons is the world’s most popular tabletop roleplaying game (TTRPG). It is a cooperative, storytelling game where you and other players take on the roles of different characters within a story. As you play, your character will make friends and enemies, fight monsters, discover loot, and complete quests.
But while the goal of many games is to score the most points or win, the ultimate goal of D&D is to tell a story.
There are dice and basic rules involved, and often maps and miniatures or tokens, but the tools that come into play most often are the imaginations of the players.
