Kids on Hoverboards

This game is in development and updates will be uploaded. Planned updates are layout, custom art, pdf version, and more document accessibility. I would love feedback on this hack to make it the best it can be! 

GAME INFO

This is hack for Kids on Bikes/Brooms for a GM plus at least one player. All the rules from the KOB systems are used in addition to a few found in this adventure hack. 

Note: While the format for this is similar to the official KOB adventure books there is one big difference. This is set up not as one adventure, but hooks for several adventures to choose from.

Content Warning: Science Fiction/Fantasy/Horror elements (Lycanthropy, dangerous strangers, trans-species transformation, aliens, dangerous experimentation on people or contagions), missing adults and children, violence, children/teens endangering themselves

What you will need:

• An official Kids on Bikes Rule Book

The Setting

The year is 2030 and the world is very technologically advanced. Hoverboards have finally been invented (a little later than Back to the Future predicted). All the kids have them! Hover cars are becoming more popular. No one carries cell phones anymore. Everyone has a band on their wrist that brings up a virtual display. There are teleports, but only some people have them. 

Lindan Creek is still a small town by today’s standards, but it has been growing pretty steadily over the past 10 years. The town has widened a bit, but apartment living is starting to become popular. New residents are quickly integrated into this friendly town. It’s like they have lived here forever!  

You and your friends known as the Science Club meet up every morning before school and hover to Professor Tan’s house. Professor Tan is your science teacher and club sponsor, who happens to have their own self made teleporter in their home workshop and in their class at school. You all teleport in most mornings. 

Today is an unusual day. You all open the workshop and Professor Tan is nowhere to be found. Knocking on the door to the house goes unanswered. Y’all decide not to heed the previous warning of Professor Tan to not use the teleporter without them and use the teleporter to get to school anyway. Unbeknownst to y’all the professor spent the weekend tinkering with the teleporter. 

Instead of your high tech science class you find yourselves in an old warehouse. You try to check your band, but it doesn’t seem to be working. You find your way outside and notice that all of the buildings seem to be really old. You have arrived in 1976. You must find Professor Tan to get back to the future as they have the only technology that can get you back.
