Thankfully, in Let’s Roll, Maxwell has done all the heavy lifting for you, clearly breaking down each step and even providing evidence and arguments should you need to get decision-makers at your school or library on board. Throughout the book, Maxwell’s passion for tabletop gaming and his determination to make it accessible for everyone shine through. He writes with such heart that, by the time you turn the last page, you’ll be ready to pick up your sword and jump into the fray!’  \nAlex Dunne, author of The Book of Secrets and halfling rogue  \n‘A heartfelt and accessible guide, essential for beginners looking to easily introduce Dungeons & Dragons or other tabletop role-playing games to their library, community space or group of friends/family.  \nLet’s Roll! is your helping hand to getting started, written through the real-life lens of Maxwell’s experience: a librarian bringing joy and confidence to young people through collaborative gameplay and storytelling. This book presents a fantastic opportunity for compassion, personal growth and, of course, a whole lot of fun with friends old and new. If you’ve ever thought about running a TTRPG, you’re in the right place!’  \nAlex ‘Ally’ Foulkes, D&D nerd and author of the Rules for Vampires series  \n‘This is the book I’ve been looking for! So many teachers and other helping professionals dream of using TTRPGs with children, but imposter syndrome gets in the way: what if they don’t have an encyclopedic knowledge of the rules, or the seemingly limitless creativity of a pro GM? Reading Let’s Roll is like talking to a close friend who genuinely loves these games and wants you to love them, too. It’s compassionate and beginner-friendly, but also takes a deep dive into the specific joys and challenges of running games with kids. I can’t wait to start recommending it to others, it’s a critical hit!’  \nKatie Lear, counsellor and founder of Young Dragonslayers  \n‘Setting up a tabletop role-playing game in your library can feel like a daunting task, especially if you are an inexperienced player – the rules can appear overwhelming and the logistics prompt lots of questions. Lucas is the perfect guide to help you create a successful game; his warm and realistic advice takes into account the unique challenges librarians face and guides you from novice player to confident Dungeon Master! His passion for the proven benefits of playing TTRPGS with young people is infectious and inspiring. This book will be of great help to all librarians looking to join him in his quest to make these games accessible to all.’  \nAlice Leggatt, School Librarian  \n‘Let’s Roll is an essential guide for any person wanting to explore the wondrous world of D&D gameplay. Maxwell walks the reader through every aspect of the game of D&D with passion and clarity. He addresses every possible question that could be raised fora budding DM regarding the mechanics of game play, and demonstrates the incredible benefits so many students have experienced as a result of playing D&D. This book has been crafted with love and passion and will convince anyone to give D&D a try for themselves or their students.’  \nGráinne O’Brien, founder ofRontu Literary Service and author of A Limerick Fairytale  \n‘As a former teacher, an author specialising in kids’ events and an avid fan of role-playing games, I cannot recommend this book highly enough. I’ve seen in person just how empowering RPGs can be for students but setting up and managing a sustainable group can be difficult.  \nIn this, Maxwell’s guide excels. It has everything you need: a perfect balance of meticulous detail and accessible, compassionate, student-forward design, all delivered with an enviable warmth and expertise. Every school should have a copy of this book.’  ","cbCaisKfpFh4kp8R","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaisKfpFh4kp8R","pdf",151809,26,"English","# Contents\n## Figures\n## About the Author\n## Acknowledgements","[{\"question\":\"Who is Let’s Roll intended for?\",\"answer\":\"It is written for beginners who want to introduce Dungeons \\u0026 Dragons or other tabletop role-playing games in a library, school, or community setting.
