Venture Society Roleplaying Game

Created by 9th Level Games

In this world of animals, the regions used to be at war with each other. Thankfully brave animals from each region united for peace and formed the Venture Society. The Venture Society is a world wide organization dedicated to helping others and encouraging harmony with your fellow animals, and you're invited to join. An all ages, non-violent RPG focusing on building communication, social, & emotional skills.

Over the last 2 days we have gotten a few questions so we wanted to address them here in case anyone else was also wondering.   

What is the target age for Venture Society? 

While the game IS all ages, it is targeted at 5-12 year cognitive level.
