About the adventure
Ever since you can remember, stories have been told about the old house sitting abandoned on the hill at the edge of the town. All the kids in town speak about Hook Hill in hushed tones, even the teenagers who are supposed to know better - you know, the big kids who frighten everyone who’s smaller, younger, or different from them? Yeah... those teenagers. You’re not sure what’s worse - those big kids or whatever’s supposedly haunting the house on Hook Hill... Set in the U.S. in the 90s, The Horror in the House on Hook Hill is a tutorial adventure for Kids on Bikes. By the end of this adventure your group will have built a small town, created characters, learned the rules for overcoming challenges, and worked together to start unraveling a mystery.

What I provide
Alchemy VTT with enhanced Kids on Bikes cinematic graphics, music, integrated character sheets and customized maps designed by myself. In a rules-light system like Kids on Bikes, you can anticipate a focus on crafting a creative story that leaves you yearning for more. The Rule of Cool typically prevails at my table, provided it enhances the narrative.
Gameplay details
I will send each player a link to a Lines and Veils document where we can anonymously share our boundaries. If there ever comes a time in-game where you feel a scene is becoming overwhelming, feel free to mute the audio and send me a message. I will promptly shift the scene to another topic and notify you when it has changed. I try to tailor my games to the group I'm playing with, any topic can be removed from the story without issue. If you do not want something to show up in game, please fill it out in the Lines & Veils document. Of course some things take us by surprise so don't hesitate to let me know if something new comes up in game. Some things I never include in games: - real world racism, I don't enjoy roleplaying it and it's not creative. - Incest of any kind. - Inappropriate relationships between adults, teens or children.
