Kids in the Bend | An "Our First Adventure" Playtest. Led by Rayne Bakcheious

  • Indecisionist Productions (map)

"As a kid growing up in the small, swamp town of Higgit's Bend, there's not much else to get up to besides trouble. Which is why it's especially unfair that you and your friends are grounded on the day the traveling carnival comes to town. But you're not going to let that stop you from seeing the exotic animals and arcane mysteries that await behind those brightly colored carts. It's time to have your first adventure... 

"Our First Adventure" is a (unlicensed fan) modification of the "Kids on Bikes" system, designed to allow for a modern and simpler playstyle in a more traditional high-fantasy setting. This will be my second playtest of the system. 

This game will be great if you like Kids on Bikes, Kids on Brooms, Never Stop Blowing Up

Players should build characters ahead.

We will build characters in session.

I'll be providing a PDF of my new rule-set to players before the game if you would like to build your character ahead of time. We'll also go over character creation at the top of the session if you would like to build it then. It shouldn't take more than 15-20mins. 

You will be playing as a resident of a small town in the middle of a swamp called Higgit's Bend. It's a former mining town on the far, forgotten edge of a large empire. The townsfolk have renounced imperian forms of currency and have built a thriving community that relies on each other for what they need. Your character can any type of body that you can dream up, provided it fits within a high-fantasy, low-technology context. "

This session will be especially good for new players.
