Hi, Bebarce here. I just wanted to post an important update regarding Power Outage. I am in the firm belief that there shouldn't be barriers for kids to experience the joy of games. From March 15th until yesterday (April 14th) I had made Power Outage available for free. I am now returning the price to $10. HOWEVER, as mentioned below if you are an organization that could use Power Outage to support children reach out to me and I'll get you a copy for free or at cost. The new addition is that if you are currently experiencing financial restraints and are looking to game with kids or just need it for other reasons. Reach out to me, and I'll get you a copy. You can reach me at bebarce (at) gonerdy dot com or via twitter (at) bebarce Let's all be heroes together.

If you run a school, library, hospital, a charitable, or social program that supports children but are hard-pressed on funding, reach out to me on twitter (at) bebarce and I will work with you to get you a copy(or copies) for free or at print/ship costs. I will also reach out on your behalf to companies that produce or sell accessories.









YOUR KIDS WILL BE HEROES, BE A HERO TO THEM!





Have you ever sat at a tiny table drinking tea with a queen? Have you fought off a horde of couch pirates with a valiant young captain by your side? Have you ever searched the wilds of a backyard jungle for buried treasure with a team of tiny explorers?. If so, then you’ve already played this game. This book is your guide to play in the world of Power Outage.

The Overgrowth is calling.

The Power Outage Guidebook includes everything you need to run or play a game with kids or adults. This book features:

A complete unique set of game mechanics that features a choose-your-own-adventure CAPE system (Combat, Alternative, Puzzle, Exploration) allowing you to easily create adventures, or travel through a published series.

Reviews, and Interviews!

“For many of us parents, the Holy Grail of game design is the child-friendly RPG. With Power Outage, Bebarce El-Tayib has launched a well-equipped expedition upon that sacred quest, which demonstrates that his love of gaming is only matched by his love of children. But it’s left for you, the players, to imagine how it will end!” - Jason Walters, Indie Press Revolution
