So Ive Been Running A Hatchetfield Game For My Friends Using The Kids On Bikes System. I Love The System

So I’ve been running a Hatchetfield game for my friends using the Kids on Bikes system. I love the system and that parts going great, and I absolutely loved the episodes we’ve done so far. I’ve been framing them as episodes where they play the same characters in different timelines, against different Lords in Black.

The first game was against Nibbly, they played their two high school characters, whose friend and student council president was possessed by Nibbly at a young age, and as she reached her 18th birthday, had less and less control of herself. It was a lovely little story, and in the end they triumphed freeing their friend from Nibbly’s clutches.

The second game was against Wiggly, who was using a film being made in Hatchetfield as a ritual to be brought forth into the world, with Wilbur Cross being the main villain. They played their adult characters in this game, and lost to Wiggog. But the way they lost made for probably one of the best and most interesting games of a ttrpg I’ve DM’ed. It also felt like a true Hatchetfield ending in my eyes. I wanna make a full post about this episode later bc it is wild.

We are on our third game of it now and this is my reason for making this post to begin with. They’re playing their high school characters again for this one against Tinky. And I will tell you, writing for a plot about T’Noy Karaxis is the hardest thing I’ve done for this game so far. I hate the Time Bastard so much. And I feel like I have the same trouble for a Pokey episode, they’re really hard to come up with an original idea for them.

That said I feel like the choice of Kids on Bikes was perfect for the game, and would be excited to hear if anyone else has attempted a similar thing for Hatchetfield. Blinky is also the main overarching antagonist rather than Wiggly for my games… bc I love Blinky. All these timelines and stories are building up to what will be a major confrontation, but I know my players might see this post so I can’t say anything about that yet…

I have a debilitating fear of bugs. There was a strange one in my car with me on my driver’s side window with which I had to coexist on an hour long drive. It was legitimately one of the most stressful situations I’ve ever been in, but I refused to kill it. When I made it home and shooed it from the vehicle I could feel the mass effect paragon choice I had made. I hope that bug had a grand old time and enjoys his new locale.

you guys Need to start seeing bugs as animals im not even joking anymore. the second u start seeing them as tiny animals the more your world opens up and the more you accept different types of life Into that world. youll begin accepting that even life you cant understand is still worth living. and itll legitimately make you a better person. fuck

Would you still love me if I was an all knowing eldritch fear monster?
