I've only had a single chance to play with this new game and system so far, but absolutely loved it! Character creation went really fast (I was secretly finishing it up while the other players recapped the adventure I missed 🤫) Our little adventuring party was really diverse and it really felt like I could play any type of character I could imagine! It all came down to the people I got to play with and the simplicity of the game system. Instead of feeling like a railroaded adventure, it felt more like a story that we were creating together. Since the rulebook is such an awesome pocket-size, it's really simple to flip through and find the answers to questions of game play. The additional pamphlets are really fun too!

I colored my booklets. :) 

TLDR: Something I have come to expect from Penflower Ink is accessible games and top-notch illustrations. This game ticks all the boxes! 

I helped run a game of Quest Fellows with 7 10 year olds as part of a club activity! For most, it was their first experience with tabletop rpg and I think it was a fun one! The game itself is set up so you can run it without a game master, but I ended up being both a game master and player to help explain and kind of demonstrate how to role play. We played about 6 or 7 sessions. 

They had fun making their characters and creating a guild together. They made sure everyone had a space and a role, and were eager to play! For these players, some of the terminology went over their heads, but with some explanation from me, they understood and were able to play just fine. 

The funnest part was witnessing and encouraging them to find creative solutions to the challenges. They often had some fun and zany ideas that we were able to channel and keep within the perimeters of the game. 

It was a great team building experience and I think they learned at least a little bit about seeing things from a different perspective and considering consequences of their actions. 

It also bares mentioning that they all LOVED the illustrations included and relished drawing their characters based on the images from the game. Seriously such a gorgeous game! You'd be remiss not giving this game a go.
