(RPG PDF Spotlight) Kids on Bikes: Dads on Mowers Premade One-Shot

Dads on Mowers

A Kids on Bikes Premade One-Shot by Sinwing Stories

The Dad & Me Soapbox Derby is tomorrow, and something is terribly wrong in Crestwick. Just last week, your dads were excited, helping you design and build soapbox racers. Now, they’re obsessed with their lawns. Every single dad in the neighborhood spends hours on their brand-new Yardking mowers, cutting grass that’s already perfectly trimmed. The race must go on, but you and your friends can’t shake the feeling that something deeper and darker is going on in your idyllic suburbs.

What’s Inside:

  • A Full One Shot Adventure: Three acts of suspense. Eerie discoveries, a chaotic soapbox race and a showdown in the secret government lab Big Joe’s Lawn Depot.
  • 80s Suburban Horror: Step into a world of suburban secrets, government experiments, and rebellious teens. Stand by Me meets The Stepford Wives
  • Ready to Play: Pre-made kid/teen characters, quirky NPCs (like conspiracy theorist Marvin and arcade owner Jeff), and GM tools including brainwashed dad stats, derby racing rules, and creepy “Dad Quotes.”
  • Unique Mechanics: Race homemade soapbox cars, outsmart mind-controlled dads, and infiltrate a secret lab, all with streamlined rules for fast-paced gameplay.
  • GM-Friendly: Clear act breakdowns, location guides (The Hobby Nook, Fun Zone Arcade), and appendices with maps, bike upgrades, and classified documents.

Perfect For:

  • Groups craving a single-session RPG with humor, suspense, and retro charm.
  • GMs who want low prep, high impact: Everything you need to run a memorable mystery in 4–5 hours.

Race Against Time. Save Your Dad. Uncover the Truth.
