Extra Ordinary

Extra Ordinary gives us beat-up canvas backpacks and dirty, duct-taped sneakers, kids holding bloody hands grasped a little too tight, strange and dangerous powers, chasing dark forces, people who can't or just won't understand, and an endless journey on the side of a winding highway asking, "What do you do next?"

Extra Ordinary is a roleplaying game where you play kids with extraordinary powers on the run from danger in the ordinary world. It is a game of Belonging Outside Belonging, a dice-less and GM-full game system that uses tokens and the players' imagination to create a narrative-focused and roleplay-heavy story. The game is built for 3-6 players and intended for longform play, but alternate rules for GM-ed or one-shot play are included in the book.

Inspired by Maximum Ride, Percy Jackson, and Animorphs, this game tackles themes of homelessness, child endangerment and abuse, bigotry, young kids with grand destinies, and what it means to be something other than ordinary—in more ways than one.
