Renegade Game Studios Kids on Bikes 2nd Edition Core Rulebook – RPG for 2–6 Players

Bring small‑town mysteries to life with Kids on Bikes 2nd Edition

Renegade Game Studios’ 2nd Edition of Kids on Bikes invites your group to assume the roles of ordinary locals facing strange, powerful forces. You’ll feel the pulse of a late-night town, the creak of floorboards, and the glow of a cheap flashlight cutting through dust as you step into places that feel almost alive. The tone is cinematic, and the focus is on collaborative storytelling where the story evolves with each shared decision.

In this edition, you’ll discover refined rules that scale with your table, a broader toolkit for GMs, and fresh options to keep sessions dynamic—whether you lean toward suspenseful mystery or a playful caper. The vibe encourages momentum during scenes and lets players contribute in meaningful, improvised ways without sacrificing structure.
