What is the Junior Heroes Guild?

Put simply, HP Gaming’s Junior Heroes Guild is a safe space for all of our junior gamers (Aged between 8 to 18 years) to be able to play Dungeons & Dragons without fear of discrimination, or being ostracised by peers. In a moderated environment (either at the tabletop or online, remote play) players can come together and undertake epic quests, fight incredible beasts and villains, and above all, have some amazing fun!

The story of Micenebor (Pronounced MY-SHEN-EH-BORE) is one of heroes and adventurers that members tell together, a new group of likeminded players, gamers and a sandbox world that they will save together… or die trying.

The beauty of the Realm of Micenebor, and the Heroes Guild itself, is that the story never truly ends. There is always more to explore. And as players engage with each other, learn from those with more experience and have assistance when and if they need it from their Guildmasters (Moderators and Dungeon Masters), they’ll gain new skills for their characters that they’ll be able to use in other D&D adventures outside of the Guild.

There is even a memoriam set up for those characters that meet an untimely end in service of the Realm. Epitaphs will be able to be written about the heroic deeds they performed in sacrifice to the Realm, and a new character - created by the player with the help of their Guildmaster - will rise to take their place.

In addition, those who chose to answer the call and become members of the Guild will have a strict set of rules that they must abide by at all times, or risk expulsion… or worse.

The Heroes Code

Taking up arms against the terrifying Darkness is something one does not do lightly, so, when matched with a group of fellow adventurers, Heroes in training need to abide by the following, at all times:

Heroes must ensure that:

They abide by the rules and directions laid out by their Guildmaster (DM).

They keep conversation friendly and non-threatening.

They remain calm, even in combat.

They treat fellow heroes and Guildmasters with the utmost respect at all times.

They must not use foul or derogatory language, nor seek to intimidate others.

They must not make judgemental or racist comments of any kind.

They must be willing to listen to each other, and be acting in an all-inclusive manner.

Additionally, Heroes must not, under any circumstances:

Attack other members of the Guild.

Steal from other members of the Guild.

Cast any spells with a negative effect on other members of the Guild.

Members of the Guild includes players, their characters, and the Guildmasters and Guild staff.

Failure to abide by the above could invoke the wrath of Tiamat, the Dragon God Queen, and nobody wants that (at least until we’re level 20).

Reviews of our Dungeons & Dragons Experiences

"Matt made our super beginner game fun, understandable and entertaining! He began game play immediately, and was able to guide us to create our story while teaching the rules through the choices we made. My youngest kids decided to join in and Matt was able to create minor characters for them on the fly so that they could participate and create story lines along with us. Essentially he was running two games, keeping the main players engaged and making the big decisions while incorporating the minor characters along the way who were able to add important details to the story line. He made all players feel valued and allowed for all ideas to be explored. He was very patient and supportive of our kids who are autistic and can find aspects of team play challenging. He was able to adjust and allow for their ideas and built their personalities into the game. Overall it was a fantastic and engaging experience and we are looking to find a time to continue the next next instalment of our campaign/adventure!"
