Inspired by the famous Game, this begins with six teenagers on a carnival ride that transports them into the past and a very different world. A being known as the Dungeon Master informs them they have been summoned to help defeat the evil Venger, a Wizard intent on conquering the world; only after his downfall will they be allowed home. Luckily the teenagers are given new Names and powers to help in their Quest; Sheila, for example, becomes Thief, with the power of Invisibility. They are aided by a Unicorn that can teleport them (see Talents) – but only once per day. During their battles with Venger, they face dangers including Dragons, an unexpected Transformation caused by a seemingly innocent flower, magic Rings and Venger's efforts to master the power of time travel.
