— Stand by Me

Using the systems from the Kids on Bikes games, Kids in Trouble is a series of one-shot stories about young people thrown into extraordinary situations.

You might uncover supernatural mysteries in a sleepy small town, study impossible magic, explore the stars, or become heroes in masks and capes… but whatever the adventure, every story is really about friendship, growing up, and facing a world that’s suddenly much bigger and stranger than you ever thought possible.

Expect teamwork, drama, weirdness, danger, laughter, and big emotions in fast-paced adventures where imagination matters more than rules and where anyone might save the world… even if they have to break curfew to do it.

Possible content warnings: mild violence, bullying, emotional conflict, danger, identity struggles, social pressure. None of these will be a sole focus, and limits will be discussed before the game.

Preparation: Character sheets and dice are all provided, you don’t need to bring anything except yourselves.
