In No Thank You, Evil!, you create a character based on a couple of cool, descriptive, imagination-firing traits. The Guide presents a dilemma, and the players set off on an adventure of the imagination. Along the way you use your character’s special skills, companions, and equipment to overcome obstacles. Maybe you’ll rescue a friend from Dragonsnot Falls, save the world’s biggest adventure park from an ancient curse, or fix Whizbang’s broken time machine before it’s too late! Whatever you choose, you’re sure to solve mysteries, gain friends, confront bad guys, and have a wild adventure! A.C.E. is a program of Good-2-Go-Oregon 4
