Introducing Hannarra

My name is Hannarra.  I am not from your world.  You have been chosen to receive a gift.  If you but claim it you shall gain the powers of mighty heroes.  You will be able to defend your city from the criminals that overrun it.

While I will not be on Earth I will be able to communicate with you through your computer screen.  I will also send you trainers to help you learn to use your powers wisely.

You stand at a crossroads.  You can stay on your path and live a normal childhood, or you can take the road now presented to you.  It is a dangerous path but full of its own unique rewards.  I ask you now.  Do you dare?



Out of Character:  Hannarra is an alien who has been sent by the mysterious ones who watch our planet to select defenders for the city of Creatorsville.  She will give the heroes their missions each game and answer questions related to their powers.  She may also recruit a more experienced hero to step in for some special training when needed.



About Kid Power

Kid Power is a home designed role playing game for grade school age children that I am developing.  I will be playtesting it at my house during the summer with the neighborhood kids and a few invitees.

The kids will play pre-teen superheroes that have to fight crime in a fun and exciting world of thugs and masterminds.  It will be more like the Batman TV show than the Dark Knight.

Each hero will get 2 powers, a major and minor.  A major power might be laser eyes while a minor one might be invisibility.  All players, by nature of their super suits will have some level of invulnerability, although it won't be as good as the super power.  So a bullet won't bounce off you, but it won't likely kill you either.  The bruise will be a doozy though!  Oo!  The Bruise would make an awesome villain name!

The rules will be based on a 10 sided die (d10) and will carry on from the rules I developed for last summer's Star Wars campaign.

For miniature we will be using Lego minifigures.  They are versatile and it allows me to create large battlefield for the heroes to fight in.  If a fight breaks out at the local shopping center the heroes will be able to see every building and innocent bystander that they have to protect.
