198X Midnight Misfits (2e)

The year is 198X. The town is Clearview. And something’s not right.

You and your friends were just trying to beat the high score at Arcade Palace. Now you’re knee-deep in strange clues, flickering lights, and a mystery no adult believes. Good thing you’ve got walkie-talkies, bikes, flashlights — and each other.

198X: Midnight Misfits is a rules-light roleplaying game of friendship, fear, and coming-of-age adventure. Inspired by iconic 80s films like The Goonies, E.T., and Stand by Me, this second edition expands the original game into a full campaign-ready experience.

Inside you'll find:

• A complete ruleset focused on risk, courage, and clever teamwork

• A detailed guide to Clearview: its secrets, safe havens, and shady grown-ups

• Dozens of mysteries, twists, rumors, and random tables to spark adventure

• Custom gear, character creation options, and a simple GUTS mechanic to face fear

It’s a world of creaky lighthouses, haunted arcades, and locked basement doors.
Grab your backpack. The night is calling.
