The simple answer is yes and no. Yes, because Legends of Lorem is a tabletop roleplaying game just like DnD, Pathfinder, Kids on Bikes, etc. are TRPGs. It's from that genre of game. No, because even though Legends of Lorem is a group narrative roleplaying game the rules are far simpler and gameplay more rapid than what most people imagine when they think of a game like DnD. In Lorem you are meant to play shorter campaigns, though they can still be carried through several sessions of play. However this game is designed with the idea that you will make many characters and travel through many stories at a pace that matches your personal play style without all the additional challenges of complex rules and leveling systems.

No! This game is fun for everyone, even if you have no intent to use it in a therapeutic or educational setting. Just because we designed with those settings in mind does not mean it's only for therapy. We enjoy playing this game in regular sessions with friends and family.

Yes! We plan on releasing new Storybooks regularly for our Guides who like to have someone else come up with an outline before they plunge into the quest.

Please, be a Storyteller! We hope that anyone and everyone feels comfortable enough in the world of Lorem that they want to set up an adventure for their own friends and family.

We have worked hard to make Legends of Lorem as simple as possible when it comes to learning the mechanics and gameplay. For a beginning player who is coming to Lorem for the first time it usually takes about 15-30 minutes to set up a character, create a simple backstory, and learn the basics of gameplay. However, If you are planning on leading the story as the storyteller (or DM/GM) you will want to plan more time in advance of your play sessions to ensure that your players have a great time. Reading a story module or creating your own story for players to interact with varies based on the length and complexity of your chosen story. So... plan accordingly.

Yes. Legends of Lorem has been used in a clinical group therapy setting for over four years. While it has gone through changes and updates in that time, it also withstood the test of time and that's how we knew it was a great game.

Good heavens, no. Therapists are people. People in therapy are people, too. That means that people enjoy playing Legends of Lorem. It was so enjoyable, in fact, that we realized that everyone deserves a chance to have an adventure or two in Lorem. This game has been tested and approved by many people from age 4 to age 65.
