Your kids ran off to become heroes. They screwed up. Now you have to fix it. Estranged parents, zany role-play, clever puzzles, corporate satire, and a very dangerous adventure planet.
Description:
Questia was built for adventure — until GARCSAN took over. They promised safety, branding, and risk management, but the rise of the mysterious Black Wind made every quest more dangerous. Customers fled. Profits fell. The image must be protected.
Your children didn’t listen. They ran off adventuring anyway, chasing danger, purpose, and a found family that didn't include you. Now they’re captured - and this time, the responsibility is yours. You are flawed, guilty parents forced back into a world you don’t understand to rescue the kids you pushed away.
Expect madcap role-playing, sharp corporate satire, and a strong emphasis on clever puzzles over brute force. Come for the puzzles. Stay for the guilt. Proceeds to charity. PG-13. D&D 5E for 5–7 players. Pre-generated characters provided.
