The Young Adventurer’s Collection Box Set 1 [Dungeons & Dragons 4 Books]: Monsters & Creatures, Warriors & Weapons, Dungeons & Tombs, and Wizards & … & Dragons Young Adventurer’s Guides)

Great way to introduce kids to D&D
My daughter asked me what D&D was after she learned I play. It was hard to cherry pick things from the source books that were age appropriate and easy to understand.These books solved that issue. The information is a mix of the three source books broken down to a kids level. It isn’t enough to play since it doesn’t have stat blocks or any character level breakdowns.It’s enough that it has gotten her interested in playing and let me see what she wanted to do so I could make a simplified character for her.

The Young Adventurer’s Collection (DnD)
The Young Adventurer’s Collection Box Set 1 [Dungeons & Dragons.Yes, this is a young read. Large print and no long complicated discussions of tactics, characters or other such things. Provides decent broad introductory information for those just beginning to explore (& consider) playing DnD. As an (*ahem) older DnD beginner…) I found the reads overly simple but still fun. The collection is an enjoyable quick read. I’m not disappointed it’s in my DnD library collection but it will never get the use (and usefulness) that the Player’s Hand Book will!

A Good Collection, But I Question the Age Appropriateness Recommendation
I will start out by saying as an avid proponent of the importance of Table Top Role Playing Games in developing critical thinking and practicing social skills, I will say that The Young Adventurer’s Collection Box Set 1 is a good introduction to the world of Dungeons & Dragons, with excellent artwork and explanations that can serve to inspire a young adult audience to pursue the hobby, pick up a d20, and roll for initiative.I would also say it is probably a good set of reference books for adults wanting to have quick reads instead of delving into hundreds of pages of deep lore or rule books, or for someone planning on actively working with their children or an after school program to introduce them to the wonderful world of D&D.However, what I question, and the reason I rated this collection 4 stars, is the appropriateness of the age rating listed as being 7+. Simply on the basis of the word choice of vocabulary used and nuanced-concept presentation, I find it difficult to see this as being written at a first-grade reading level. I even question if it is written with a fourth-grade reading level in mind.And while I realize that it is difficult to work around a number of the themes that Dungeons & Dragons explores and still produce a book which remains true to the essence of D&D, some of those subjects may not be appropriate for an audience that is less mature than the young adult category. I am not saying that these themes should never be explored or that they should be censored or removed from the game or these books, but I think that they shouldn’t necessarily be introduced to a child before they have matured to a point that they can understand them and process them in a constructive manner.

Good way to get inspired
Good, easy to read books to get more familiar with the environment of the game and the classic elements.

Caro Sig. Amazon,sta nascendo una relazione tra me e il Sig. Q. per questo ha deciso di comprarmisi il libro di D&D per bimbi per rendermi partecipe di questa sua OSSESSIONE, io attualmente incapace di intendere e volere sono stata felice di questa notizia. Abbiamo passato più giorni a parlare di questo e farmi capire come funziona, quindi è adatto a super principianti.Il cofanetto risulta carino, ci sono tante immagini e tante domande per capire la razza e cose di questo tipo…ROVINA RAPPORTI, AMICIZIE E POSSIBILI AMORI.Funziona come l’oroscopo se incompatibili non c’è soluzione. Io sono quasi sicuramente un nana o mezzo orco…(ascendente barbaro o paladino, SI SO CHE NON FUNZIONA COSI’).Nel caso non funzionasse con il Sig. Q. AAA CERCASI nano o mezzo orco per possibili nozze future.Cordiali Saluti, immensamente vostra Sig.na M.ps: il Sig. Q. non sarà molto contento di questa recensione
