Four kids playing DND. One of them is angry and pointing at the map of a dungeon. The girl in the middle is worried and the little boy on the left is cheering as he raises his character sheet in the air.

Two fairies and a big pink pencil drawing on a piece of paper. One of them is carrying the pencil and is quite annoying, while the other one is happily pointing to the horizon as she's balancing on top of the pencil.

A little girl wearing yellow pjs is looking quite concerned as her drawing of a dragon has turned into a life-size ACTUAL dragon.
