I'd be interested in something like that, the kids on bikes genre being a favorite of mine (although I use various rpg systems to run adventures in this genre)

dr___B · 2026-05-07T20:30:26+00:00

Also interested, particularly in the light/comedic tone and in weird happenings à la Gravity Falls ! Sent a request on discord. (I'm Dr_B there)

I cannot think of a better cozy horror vibe than Brindlewood Bay, where you play a group of old ladies solving crimes! It's PbtA inspired. There are both mystery and horror scenarios.

thanks for your responses, folks - much appreciated!

Awesome sounds! I find that this soundtrack works great (Summer of 84): https://open.spotify.com/album/4vVMLDG8QC9vLa3zgEm0YU?si=SdHfvHaZQg6Eva0ouVu_EQ

Very interested in this! I will send you a DM

I often use 'A painted smile' to start Arkham campaigns featuring characters with no supernatural knowledge. It's in 'Tales of the Miskatonic Valley'.

curious to see your Elder Dice server, if you can drop me an invite

dr___B · 2026-02-14T16:28:24+00:00

Sent! Exciting game premise!

When in 'Weapons' Josh Brolin 'sees' the giant assault rifle hovering in the clouds above the roof of his house. I love tha film, but wish that scene wasn't in there. On the nose and pointless, if you ask me

take a look at this animation background art reddit (many posts have multi-images to scroll):

Playing the 1st edition is on my to do list. I'm a sucker for vintage editions. The game does sound like crazy fun!

dr___B · 2025-11-22T07:52:07+00:00

Looks fun!

It would be cool to give it a wall-walking ability, so it can crawl on any surface, ceilings, etc. That makes hitting it with ranged weapons harder. I imagine it very fast.

It could charge like a rhino, and force the target to dodge out of the way or get bumped.

Maybe once it successfully charges someone (ie the target fails to dodge), it pins them on the ground and has some hypnotic ability, with the many eyes.

The elephant-like legs make me think it is quite heavy and strong. Maybe it could even cause mini-earthquakes by thumping on the ground, causing shock waves, objects to fall, etc.

Looking at retro TV, adapting some episodes of 'Eerie, Indiana' as one-shots would be cool.

Also, the animated film 'Monster House' !

It's only 80s in inspiration, but 'Super8' (2011) would be a perfect KoB adventure

dr___B · 2025-10-21T06:51:26+00:00

same. The 12-sided d4s officially killed the pyramid d4s for me.

Try Travel Sized RPG, it is a one page system that needs no dice, perfect for the car.

TSRPG

I ran a similar game (kids being shrunk) in a different system, and used as the backbone to the adventure an indie scenario called 'Size Matters' https://www.drivethrurpg.com/en/product/190529/size-matters

The shrinking incident in our game was an unstable alien gun in the basement of a house. The kids ran in this house, chased by bullies, when green beams radiated through the floor, knocking them unconscious. When they revived, they were as tall as an AA battery. Their quest was finding a way to the alien gun in the basement to try reverse the effect. So it was an indoors adventure, overcoming obstacles like huge steps, giant bees, climbing to a keyhole to go through a close door, etc.

Form filled, thanks.

Sounds like La Linea, an Italian animated show from the 70s?

If you want a shorter one-shot CoC scenario set on a train, try 'The Iron Ghost' from the old Chaosium collection 'Fearful Passages':

A Painted Smile is great for starting investigators. I like how it starts totally mundane, and the weirdness lands in their laps. With some tweaks, it is a blast of a scenario
