Getting Started with D&D Doesn't Have to be Hard!
You want to introduce your kids to Dungeons & Dragons…
but the rulebooks are overwhelming, the setup takes forever, and keeping everyone engaged feels impossible.
There should be an easier way. What if I said there was?
Start Playing Right Away, We Teach You as You Go
The Adventure Guide: Secrets of Enduril was built to make learning DnD simple, approachable, and fun for the whole family.
- Learn as you play with a guided structure designed for first-time GMs and curious beginners.
- Quick 5–10 minute prep sections teach you only what you need before each session, with optional deep dives in the appendix for those who want to explore more.
- Abridged lore summaries help you quickly understand the world and story arc so you can confidently guide your kids through the adventure.
- Modular 20-minute sessions let you play as little or as long as your family wants—perfect for younger attention spans, busy evenings, or marathon adventure days.
A Story They Don’t Just Hear—They Shape
Kids step straight into the adventure with real choices that make the world feel like theirs from the very beginning. They pick their character’s class and species, name them, and decide who they are—giving them a voice in the story right away. From there, they choose a lovable pet companion to join their journey, creating an instant bond and sense of ownership over their adventure.
Along the way, they’ll meet a cast of charming creature NPCs who respond to their curiosity, encourage exploration, and reward creative thinking—helping kids feel seen, heard, and excited to discover what’s just beyond the next turn in the story.
Through the Journey
You’ll empower your children with life skills that will prepare them for a world already full of dungeons and dragons! They’ll learn what it means to act with courage, how to work together to solve problems, how to sympathise with those who are different, and value what each person brings to the table, no matter the game being played.

Written by Educators
The Secrets of Enduril, and the attached learning path, was written by Ryan Timpte and Allison Kunz. Both are passionate educators who publish a vidcast called The Kids Table, where they’ve been playing DnD with kids for years! The joy they bring to the table comes from a conviction that kids are real and important people, not just partially formed adults.
They’ve infused The Adventure Guide with their deep knowledge of teaching kids, and an incredible passion for the joy of storytelling, that will pull you in from the very first words! With it, you can step into the Game Master’s shoes, and create a tradition of storytelling with your children that could last a lifetime!
Real Art. Original Adventure.
Step into a new and exciting homebrewed world with a deep engaging storyline and infinite story possibilities, toned specifically for kids who love to explore.
Walk your players along a path that explores a tragedy at the heart of this world’s creation, and be the agents of change and reconciliation.
