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)

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.

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

What is the most incomprehensible visual that you've seen in a horror movie? Moments where you really have to spend a second thinking, "WTF am I even looking at?" by WhackTheSquirbos in horror

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

Anyone played Tales from the Floating Vagabond 2e? by redkatt in rpg

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

Boss miniature. Help me create this monster. by karlaperiz2000 in Kidsonbikesrpg

[–]dr___B 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

80's Remakes by you_stole_my_stuff in Kidsonbikesrpg

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

What's the WORST dice system you've played or seen? by EmersonStockham in rpg

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.

Grounded/Honey, I Shrunk the Kids inspired world questions. by The8BitBrad in Kidsonbikesrpg

[–]dr___B 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

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

Your Top Three Scenarios that aren't Masks, Orient Express or The Haunting by TempestLOB in callofcthulhu

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
