First Quest, subtitled "The Introduction to Role-Playing Games," is a boxed set intended to teach the basics of Advanced Dungeons & Dragons (and roleplaying in general) to players who have no experience with role-playing games. It includes an audio CD that starts with a long track that serves as an introduction to the idea of roleplaying. The narrator helps a group of young gamers act out a brief roleplaying session.
First Quest comes with an audio CD, complete with 60 tracks, stereo sound, and a plastic jewel box. The adventure text directs the Dungeon Master to play certain tracks at various points to reveal clues or enhance the atmosphere. The rules are streamlined AD&D rules, intended for novice players and first-time DMs. The 16-page rule book covers the basics of character creation, combat, and spell-casting with easy to understand explanations. The Adventure Book contains four simple scenarios, two of which use the CD. Symbols highlight key sections of the text; a big black exclamation point indicates information requiring the DM's scrutiny, a foot impaled on a spike notes the location of a trap. The DM's screen provides step-by-step directions for making saving throws and ability checks. A set of reference cards explains the differences between warriors and wizards.
