Chapter One:Starting OutIntroHow to Play:Bikes and Broomsticks is a RolePlaying Game. That means that inthis game you create and choose theactions of characters in afictional world. Bikes andBroomsticks was especially designedto act out single goal quests thattake place over relatively shortdistances, especially as youovercome the obstacles of life inan urban fantasy world where justabout anyone could fly or movethings with their mind, wheresuperpowers and magical abilitieshave become so ubiquitous thatalmost everyone has several suchabilities that they use to perform

tasks that still more or less justperpetuate the status quo.

Though everyone is playing, thereare two types of players who needto be considered separately atdifferent times, the Game Masterand the Player Characters One ofthese is the Game Master whodesigns and referee's the quest,and controls the actions of thecharacters who are not controlledby the other players(the Non-Player Characters or NPC's.

The other type of player is thePlayer Character, which is a player

who controls a single character inthe game world who's actions areessential to the resolution of thequest. The players who control playercharacters typically only control onecharacter.

The point of this game is notnecessarily to win but rather tosucceed is to enjoy the experience ofthe game. Sure, it's fun to measuresuccess in Gold Pieces or ExperiencePoints, but, in the end, thoserewards are fleeting and imaginary,

and you'll have the most fun if youjust enjoy imagining things.

Therefore, think about how yourcharacters behave, why they behavethat way, their skills, goals, andhistories. Really think about howyour character chooses to solve theproblems he encounters and theobstacles in his path. Bikes andBroomsticks is a game where it isimportant how you solve the quests,help you to Create your Character

Character Background Tips:When coming up with your character'sbackground, it sometimes helps toask specific questions about thecharacter's background. Here aresome good ideas of things to thinkabout in your character's backgroundfor this game.Education-

Was he trained as anything inparticular? Has he learned from theschool of hard knocks, has he beento college? Did he take a karateclass? Was he a wizard's apprentice?Did he just read a lot?

Appearance-How does he look? Does he dress forsuccess, or for discretion, or doeshe just grab whatever is closest tothe couch(next to the bong)?Hair/Eye color? Height/Weight?Goals-Why is your character so eager to goon missions? Is he poor, and takingthe jobs for the money or his hehoping to develop contacts? Does hejust want to meet people or does hehave another job on the side? Whatmotivates him?Relationships-Does your character's family come into the picture? Does he have amentor from back when who taught himeverything he knows? Does he livealone, or with a roommate, or with asignificant other? Does he have apet or familiar?

Morals-Does he believe in good and evil, orone over the other? When is he mostwilling to bend the rules? Whatcan't he abide?

Skills come from your background:The background determines whatskills a character has. It thereforemust be believable, at least in thesense that the skills related to thebackground must have been acquiredin a relatively short span of time.Most skills should not start out atabove a value of 5/10, includingboth ranks and ability modifier.

SpeciesPeoples are species that can be

played readily. The primarydifference between each species iswhat basic stat potential it has.

Any player who wishes to use2d6+6 for his Intellect score shouldbe given consideration.Human

Stats:Stats are the basic abilities of each character that determine the lowestlevel of competence they reflect based on their innate ability to perform atask. This number is called amodifier, and is the ability score, minus ten,divided by three, rounded down. This number is added to the ranks in a skilla character has when determining the success or failure of a character in atask.

Once again: Modifier=(Stat-10)/3, Rounded down.

These stats also reflect the characters ability to defend themselves againstcertain types of attacks, called Saving Throws, or simply Saves. Theseare equal to the ability score, minus ten, and cannot be greater than 9.

Once again: Save=Stat-10, Maxiumum 9. To make a saving throw, roll 1d10. Ifthe roll is lower than your save, your save succeeds.

Strength(STR): Strength is the attribute describingthe character's innate ability to apply forcee to anobject. This can mean muscular strength or a species'innate, short range psychokinesis, but not both. Roll3d6 for this stat. The Strength Save is also theDamage Thresholdof the character, which is used toodetermine whether an attack does enough damage tocause an injury. Also, your HP is equal to 2 + yourStrength Modifier. Your strength modifier is thepenalty for an opponent to dodge yourmelee attacks.

Foot Speed(F.S.): Foot Speedis a character'sunmodified, normal basic overland movement speed perround(5 seconds). It describes the number of feetthat a character can move at a normal pace in 5

seconds. It ranges from 6-36. Roll 3d6, multiply bytwo. For skills, consider it of this value, alwaysrounded down. When you hurry, you go twice as fast.When you run, you go 4 times as fast. When yousprint, you go 6 times as fast.

Agility(AGI):Agility is the flexibility anddexterity of the character, including everything fromhis sense of balance to a his handwriting. It rangesfrom 3-18. It determines the highest level physical

powers a character can have, which is equal to 1+the

AGI modifier, and whenever you are attacked you canattempt an agility save to avoid the blow. Youragility modifier is the penalty for an opponent tododge your ranged attacks.

Intellect: Intellect is the ability of a characterto arrive at by reason, a solution to a practicalproblem, think creatively, and retain information. Italso determines the number of spells or psychic

powers a character can have, which is equal to theINT save +1. Aperception roll, which is used tonotice a remarkable event or search for an object issame as an intellect save. You also may use either

your Intellect or Spirit Modifier as the penalty foran opponent to dodge your INT Power Attacks.

Spirit: Spirit is the power of a character tocontrol supernatural forces in the world at large. Itdetermines themaximum spirit points available to thecharacter, which starts out equal to the spiritscore. Your Spirit Modifier can be used in lieu ofIntellect Modifier as the penalty for an opponent tododge your INT Power attacks.

Skills:Now, why do you think I made that whole first page all about

background? Because you would think Hey, maybe I should do this backgroundthing. Well, if you did, Good! You did awesome. If you didn't, sorry... Youneed to do a background. This is why: Your background determines whichskills you have. Each skill should be named for a specific skill that the

character has acquired, including limitations where necessary. Remember, themore time spent in a skill should determine the number of skills availableand the level of competence beyond basic ability level.

Alex was a cross-country runner in high school, because he wasconcerned about the environment and thought the ability to run longdistances would be useful to him for transportation.

Skill:Run(Long Distance)Now decide which stat is most important for your character to use that

skill. The skill starts with a value equal to the modifier of that stat,plus the amount of competence acquired in their background(usually only 1-2points worth) Each stat can be increased by earning points in the tasksperformed each quest.

Tasks:It is usually good to describe certain parts in terms of it the task thatneeds performed. These tasks are the Client's Counterpart to the Rider'sskills, and there should be a modifier of -2 for difficult tasks, -1 formoderately difficult tasks, and 0 for average examples of a task. The Clientshould also consider how well suited a to the task the character's approachis when considering an additional modifier.(Picking a lock(-0) may be moreeffective than trying to break down a door(-1). Changing the oil on amotorcycle is easier if you have Motorcycle Mechanic as a skill(+1).)

Some tasks may require the rider to have certain tools and trappings. Thesetasks can be performed with improvised tools at a -2 penalty. If nosubstitute is available, the task cannot be performed at all.

To determine the success or failure of a task, roll 1d10. If it is less thanor equal to the value of the skill used to complete it, with all situationmodifiers(above) included, the skill is used successfully.

Non-Trivial Tasks:Tasks that require greater effort for the character, because of anyextenuating circumstance that modifies the difficulty of the actual task forwhich the skill was named, and not just the situation that the task istaking place in. A picking a difficult to pick lock would be a nontrivialtask, but picking a lock while hanging off of a windy building would not.

Non-trivial tasks have either a -1, -2, or -3 modifier, depending on thedifficulty of the task. To apply this modifier, subtract it from your skillwhen you roll for the attempt.

Suggested Advancement Schema:1 Additional Skill Rank costs 1Free Skill Point

A single skill may not be raisedmore than 1 rank per session byany one method. Multiple methodsmay stack, but may not raise askill more than 2 ranks persession.

1 Additional Power(WithAvailable Slot) costs 2 FreeSkill Points

Success in a Non-Trivial SkillTask+1 to that skill, 1/session

1 Riddle, Puzzle, or QuestComponent Completed+1 Free Skill Point

5 Defeated Assailants/Opponents+1 Free Skill Point

1 Completed Quest+2 Free Skill Points+1 HP+1d4 SP

Special Tasks:Special tasks are tasks that are

performed in limited space of time,measured in units of equal to or lessthan five seconds(Five Seconds=1Round). Anywhere where time is of the

essence, tasks are considered specialtasks and must be considered in termsof the time that they take to perform.

Basic special tasks such asmoving less than 10 feet andperception checks take 1 second tocomplete.

Special Tasks such as making asimple attack with a familiarweapon(not modified by a power),drawing or replacing a weapon, orusing a Level 1 or 2 power take 2seconds to complete.

Special tasks such as making a

complex attack(an attack modified by apower), attacking with an unfamiliarweapon, or using a level 3 or greaterpower take 3 seconds to complete.

Special tasks such as attackingwhile mounted on a vehicle or usingthe spellcasting power, or usingskills to complete very quick taskstake 4 seconds to complete.

Intricate skill use takesconsiderably longer and whether it canbe done as a special task is decidedby the Game Master.

Starting PowersIdeally, you should define your powers and how you get them in yourbackstory, but unfortunately, in the beginning sessions of the game, this issometimes problematic. When you choose powers to start the game with, youmight find it useful to limit the number of powers a character can have bylimiting the total number of levels a character can have in powers. A decentguideline is six to eight total levels in powers to begin with.

Characters who choose the spellcasting power gain one free spellbook, and

characters who choose the lesser spellcasting power gain one free magic itemthat they can use to cast 3 pre-determined INT powers of level 3 or below.

Random Starting Spellbook Spells /Magic Item Abilities:

(roll 1d4+2 times, ignore repeats)

2. Lightning Bolt3. Feather Fall4. Magic Dart5. Calm Animal6. Detect Magic7. Detect Direction8. Unlock Spell9. Force Push/Pull10. Ghost Hand11. Luck12. Heal Wound

Spellbooks and INT Powers:Spellbooks are a special kind of magicitem in that they are only used bySpellcasters(Characters with theSpellcasting power) to cast INTpowers. Only INT powers that are notpassive may appear in spellbooks.

A person who wishes to learn aspecific INT power may learn it from aspellbook regardless of whether or nothe has the Spellcasting power. This isan INT Save-1. Spellcasters have noINT save penalty to learn INT powersfrom spellbooks.

InventoryStarting inventory should include several items, some of whichare freely chosen. Choose three from these five categories.Unpowered vehicles, Moped's, or Operator Dependent MagicalConveyanceCommunication DevicesPetsSkill-Related ToolkitsNonlethal, Small, or Background-Related weapons

Additionally, roll 1d12 for an item from this table 2d4 times:1. A short length of rope(2d6 feet in length)2. A bicycle chain3. A multi-tool including a blade, two types of screwdrivers, a pair ofpliers and a pair of wirecutters.4. A dolly, wagon, wheelbarrow, or cart.5.

Chapter Two: The QuestTravel and Transportation:

As the game is aboutcompleting quests, whichtypically involve traveling adistance, travel andtransportation are a significantpart of this game. Thus, thissection is all about issuesrelating to transportation.

Most travel takes placewithin a single city, and ittakes place on some type of pathor street. In generic street-travel on foot, use thecharacter's foot speed score asthe number of feet he can travelat a walk in five seconds.Running quadruples this speed,sprinting sextuples it.

Often, it will be necessaryto use an unusual path, such asjumping over a fence, or escapingand navigating a sewer, orrunning from rooftop to rooftop.In these cases, using a specialtask is required appropriate forthe type of actioninvolved(Climbing, lifting a lid,jumping, using an agility save oran appropriate skill to resolvesuccess.)

Many characters will haveaccess to modes of transit other

than foot travel. There are twokinds of vehicles available tocharacters, unpowered andpowered. Unpowered conveyancesincrease a character's foot speedby multiplying it when they areused. They are bicycles,skateboards, scooters, pedalcars,and operator-dependent magicalconveyance(Broomsticks) and thelike. Powered vehicles have amaximum speed, and they includemopeds, motorcycles, cars, andgiant hovering space-cities. Here

are some basic examples to getyou started(an experienced ridermight even have customized hisvehicle(That's Pimped hisRide).Simply add that to yourcharacter's notes after gettingapproval from your Game Master.)

Equipment:Your character will likely have aset of items that he tends to carrywith him when he goes to performcertain tasks. Like all of us, heprobably needs to carry some toolswith him wherever he goes, rangingfrom keys, to multi-tools, even tohis own belt. These items make up

the character's inventory.

Inventory and Encumbrance:Your character can only manage tocarry so much without help. Themaximum load your character cancarry is equal to your strengthscore, plus your strength save,times ten in pounds, and should besmall enough to fit into whateverreceptacle your character chooses toplace his worldly goods in.

Encumbrance V. Pocket Weight Units:In many RPG's, Your inventory incombat and your inventory in normalcircumstances are exactly the same.In Bikes and Broomsticks, we believethat the limitations of weight onthe character's ability to movewould be too much for this tousually be the case.

We have decided to get around thisusing what we call the convertiblecombat inventory system. Itbasically systematizes the act ofdropping your backpack at the startof the battle. Each character has upto his strength score in PocketWeight Units(PWU'S) to use to storeobjects on his person, and not in aknapsack or satchel that cannot beefficiently accessed in tensesituations. Most small objects,other than weapons and armor, onlytake 1 PWU to store.

Example Equipment and Prices:Backpack($10)Bedroll($10)Bobby Pin($.10)Blanket($10)Bowl($2)Candle($.10)Caltrops($5/10)Cards($2)

Diary/Journal($10)Die($.50)Drink($1)Flashlight($20)-1d3 Hours of Battery Life-Flashlight Bash-1d6 Physical Damage-5/10 Headlamp($30)Food Ration($5)Hat($7)-5/10 Secret Pocket Inside?($14)Helmet($50)-Reduce Critical Damage(+5DT/Critical)Kneepad($25)-Reduce Physical Damage(+1 DT)Lamp($20)Lantern($20)Lantern(Dark)($25)Magic Marker($10)-Scribe spell on surface, spell isactivated when a condition is met.Needle($.25)Pick($10)Piton($10)Rope(25')($5)Shoes($50)Shoulderpad($20)-Reduce Physical Damage(+1 DT)

Combat:Combat is sometimes encountered in the course of completing quests, howevermost players will find it easiest to avoid it. It is usually easier to get

the job done quickly and quietly than it is to kill everything in your path.However, sometimes danger is too great or inescapable and it is necessary todefend yourself.

To determine the Success of an Attack: The target of the attack makes anagility save minus the relevant stat modifier, Target AGI SAVE-Attacker STRMOD for melee attacks, Target AGI SAVE-Attacker AGI MOD for ranged attacks,Target AGI SAVE-Attacker INT or SPR MOD for INT Power attacks.

To determine if an attack deals damage: Each character has three Hit Pointsplus his strength modifier, and his strength save is used as his DamageThreshold the amount of damage that must be dealt by a before a hit pointis lost.

PowersPowers are special abilities that any character may possess based on either hisintellect or agility stat, depending on the nature of the power. They can be anything,but they should be equivalent to minor magic spells, psychic talents, martial artsmovie style moves, exceptional attributes, or limited superpowers. Each power has alevel, from 1 to 5, and an associated stat, either INT or AGI, and an effect which is ashort description of what the spell does, including the dice rolls involved in thepower's effect. Power's should be applied in the broadest possible interpretation oftheir effects.Power ResolutionTo determine the success of a power as you try to use it roll 1d10-associated stat. Ifyour roll is less than 10-the level of the power, the power is used successfully.Every time you attempt to use a power, it costs Spirit Points(SP). If you succeed incasting a power, it costs the level of the power in spirit points. If you fail to casta power, it costs 1 spirit point.Passive PowersSome powers require the person to permanently lose Spirit Points in order to allow

their effects to be active at all times. These powers cost the level of the power inspirit points which cannot be regained. Spirit points may still be increased by normalmeans.

Spellcasting: The character can usemagic items that cast spells, such asspellbooks, magic wands, and scryingorbs. This power is required to usemagic items that cast spells.(Lvl 2Version: The character has a magicitem that he can use to cast pre-determined spells.)

PowersPowers in Bikes and Broomsticks come in a wide variety of relatively low powerabilities because part of the point is to juxtapose all this weird shit going on inclose proximity. Powers range all over the place in terms of origin, specificity, andsubtlety. They should be considered in relationship to the character's background atall times. Some powers, however, are common enough to be noteworthy and are greatstarting points. For convenience, I have organized these by their hypothetical source.
