I tried posting this on the Free Legion webpage and have gotten mostly crickets chirping, so I thought I'd try my luck here where folks actually discuss gaming.
I have copies of both Tales from the Loop and Kids with Bikes and I'd like to run something of this genre with my gaming group. I like the overall feel and mechanic behind Tales better, but Kids has rules for supernatural characters (well, mostly supernatural NPCs) and my wife pretty much only plays RPGs where she can use magic. (She says she can be normal in the real world, so if she role plays she wants to be a magic user. I can see her logic.)
Anyway, I'm thinking of doing some sessions of Tales from the Loop but I'd like to have some sort of magical or psychic talent for her to work with, sort of like Eleven in Stranger Things, but as far as I can tell TftL doesn't have any rules for this style of play. So, for those of you who have run TftL games, have you tried any rules for supernatural talents? What rules did you use, how did it work out, or do you have any suggestions of what I might try?
