It’s 1993, and you & your friends are just, like, a bunch of regular teens, you know? Or at least you were, until things got hella weird. Aliens? Magical powers? Saving the world!? As if. You’re just trying to, like, make it through high school! Can you get over all your drama and work together to take down the bad guys, or are you headed for a mondo gnarly time?


Teens with Attitude is a tabletop roleplaying game that lets 4-7 players create collaborative stories about a team of superpowered 90s teens. Think Animorphs, Power Rangers, or Captain Planet. You’ll fight sinister villains, wield bodacious powers, and deal with all the melodrama of high school. The game has everything you need to create the raddest 90s action show that never was.

Teens with Attitude is based on the Powered by the Apocalypse system. Simple rules, quick character & team creation, and a structured episode system get you right to all the action & drama. The game uses a resource called ATTITUDE to drive the story. Teens build it up as they experience complications in their lives, then spend it to do totally awesome stuff.


The free Quickstart Edition includes:

  • A 6-page quickstart guide that walks you through your first session of the game.
  • 3 Team Playbooks to create a themed squad of heroes & their secret powers.
  • 6 Teen Playbooks to build a cast of archetypical 90s teenagers.
  • A Producer Playbook with everything you need to run the game as the GM.

The following extras are also available to purchase:

  • Pre-generated Teen, Team, & Producer Playbooks that let you jump right into the action with suggested backstories, characters, stats, bad guys, & plot hooks.
  • Fillable Teen, Team, & Producer Playbooks that let you type directly into the PDF, check & uncheck all boxes, and automatically calculate morphing bonuses & condition penalties.


Note that this version is the public beta of Teens with Attitude. The game is currently in development and will be regularly updated.

No idea if you're still working on this, but some of the text (like the goals of the blue, red, and green playbook) is unreadable because it's black text on a dark background

Hi there! Yes, the game is still in development

How are you viewing the sheets with problem text? PDF? Printout? The text in question should be dark on a light color background, like this:

here's what the "Brainiac" looks like, as an example. note how the goal, for example, is absolutely unreadable:

Hm! Definitely a display error of some sort. What are you viewing this with, and on what platform?

Adobe Acrobat, Android

Cool game: I'm making a spreadsheet to act as the character sheets so I can play this with some friends on Discord!

That’s great! Keep in mind that the sheets will change a bit as I continue to update the game. Let me know if there’s anything I can do to help. Hope your Discord game goes well – I’d love to hear about it!
