Peculiar Children
In the last decade and a half peculiar children have been born. No one can say exactly what's causing their birth¸ but their existence is undeniable. Many peculiar children are abandoned by their families. Others are forced to hide their peculiarity lest they be discovered and suffer the same fate¸ or worse. So far¸ each peculiarity is unique.
Peculiar Children is a game inspired by Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children ¸ a novel and photograph collection by Ransom Riggs. In it¸ you take on the role of children with peculiarities; supernatural abilities that make you distinct from other human beings. Peculiar children are rarely safe. Their abilities make them targets. You might be hunted by pseudo-scientists keen to experiment upon you¸ private agencies who would manipulate you for power or wealth¸ or ignorant mobs who see you as other.
Despite their youth¸ peculiar children often have to find solutions on their own. When other peculiars go missing¸ the police ignore it. When supernatural events occur¸ peculiars are blamed. Getting past these problems is just another day in the life of a peculiar child.
This game is based on the Year Zero Engine and uses a pool of d8s as it's resolution mechanic¸ augmented by a d6 whenever a child's peculiarity comes into play. Furthermore¸ children can bank peculiar points when they succeed¸ which can be spent to use their peculiarities in ways that don't require the rolling of dice.
