Bebarce El-Tayib didn\u2019t learn that Dungeons & Dragons or other tabletop RPGs (role-playing games) existed until\n he was well into adulthood. He was intrigued, and on his first Father\u2019s Day \u2014 his daughter was eight months old at the\n time \u2014 his wife encouraged him to check out a local game shop that was debuting the fourth edition of D&D. He was\n hooked and eventually branched out to other RPGs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fast forward a few years: El-Tayib\u2019s baby girl is six and now has a four-year-old sister. His gaming was going\n strong, but with one hiccup \u2014 the girls kept stealing his dice. \u201cEventually I realized if I ever wanted the dice back,\n I\u2019d have to come up with a game for the girls to play,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So he started looking around for options to introduce his kids to tabletop RPGs but came up short. \u201cConsidering their\n ages, most of the role-playing games out there were either too advanced or too adult,\u201d El-Tayib says. \u201cSome of the few\n that I found, while good, were often just simplified versions of adult games.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

His solution? Invent a new game to play with the girls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Several years and hours upon hours of work later, the Power Outage<\/a> world was built, and its corresponding Core Rules Book<\/em> finally\n ready to be published.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cPower Outage is a superhero-themed tabletop role-playing game that is designed for kids, but fun for adults looking\n for a more casual, light-hearted gaming experience,\u201d El-Tayib says. \u201cIt\u2019s absolutely drenched with puns as well.\u201d\n Built to engage kids as young as four years old, Power Outage\u2019s cast of characters pits such villains as Break Fast,\n InstaGator, and The Bulshefist up against the Pocket Protector, SuburbanKnight, Rockin Troll, and other heroes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\u201cBreakFast\u201d<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

After reaching its funding goal on Kickstarter<\/a> and\n making an official debut in 2019, Power Outage was nominated twice for an Ennie<\/a>, a notable award in the RPG world. El-Tayib is building an audience for\n Power Outage and has gotten great feedback from fans so far.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI think the best compliment I ever received was when someone referred to me as the \u2018Mr. Rogers of role-playing\n games,\u2019\u201d El-Tayib says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And along the way, he\u2019s relied on DreamHost<\/a> to power this and\n other passion projects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Choose Your Own Adventure<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

As a kid in elementary school, El-Tayib loved Choose Your Own Adventure books. \u201cSo much so,\u201d he adds, \u201cthat I would\n write my own and run them with kids at the lunch table. That was before I knew that RPGs existed.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He was introduced to the concept as an adult through the early Penny-Arcade podcast<\/a> crew, which was testing out and describing the\n new Dungeons & Dragons fourth edition. The idea of RPGs \u201cimmediately shot me right back to elementary school,\u201d he\n says. His favorite game these days, other than Power Outage, is Tales from the Loop<\/a>, which represents the kind of quality he\u2019s chasing with his own\n game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMy goal was to create a game that brought parents and kids to the table, have fun, and maybe learn a little,\u201d\n El-Tayib says. \u201cI\u2019ve yet to meet a person that hasn\u2019t claimed to have had a blast playing Power Outage.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In creating the game, El-Tayib relied on his daughters for playtesting to craft an RPG that was truly centered on a\n child\u2019s experience. \u201cI built it from the kids\u2019 perspective up \u2014 I think that really informed the shape of the game,\u201d\n he says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While most traditional RPGs focus on battles and fighting, Power Outage was built with a choose-your-own-adventure\n flair that gives kids \u2014 and their parents \u2014 different options for what kinds of games they can play. El-Tayib created\n a system he calls CAPE: Combat, Alternative, Puzzle, and Exploration. Each path creates a custom adventure that styles\n gameplay according to the preferences of both parents (who lead the game) and kids.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDon\u2019t want your kids fighting? Choose an Alternative path,\u201d El-Tayib explains. \u201cWant your kids to practice problem\n solving? Choose a Puzzle path. Additionally, I created a substantial amount of guidance for new gaming parents that\n I\u2019ve been told sheds some light for even veteran players when switching to gaming with kids.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ultimately, he hopes the game can help parents, gamers or not, connect with their kids in a way that resonates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI want kids to have experiences with their parents that they\u2019ll remember growing up,\u201d El-Tayib says. \u201cI want a\n channel to open up about themselves, without fear of reprisal. The ability to instill into an avatar their desires and\n see those play out, and in doing so, educate those adults playing with them.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Feedback on Power Outage has been overwhelmingly positive \u2014 especially once he can help players ditch the expectation\n that this child-oriented game aligns, or should align, with Dungeons & Dragons gameplay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt\u2019s also amazing seeing pictures from fans holding up kids, often infants, next to my book with the promise that a\n new player will be starting up soon,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Child\u2019s Play<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

By trade, El-Tayib is the chief technology officer for a public school system in New Jersey. Part of his work\n includes considering the needs of students with disabilities, and in developing Power Outage, accessibility was top of mind<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Power Outage rule book has a section outlining accommodations to make the game playable for all children,\n including those who need physical, communicative, behavioral, cognitive, and emotional adjustments to the gameplay. In\n creating this content, he consulted experts in special education to review his recommendations and terminology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cRole-playing games allow all of us to not only break free of the limitations we find in our everyday lives, but\n express our real selves through our avatars,\u201d El-Tayib says<\/a>. \u201cThe absolute need to make that process available to everyone is\n imperative. We need to be accessible. We need to be inclusive. We need to bring everyone to the table, and if we\n can\u2019t, then we need to drag that table over to them.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

El-Tayib wants his entire mythology \u2014 based on Outage, an ancient, mysterious island that appeared in the Pacific\n Ocean \u2014 to be fun and understandable to children of all ages and abilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"A<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI eliminated death from the game, changing your standard HP (health points) to YP (yield points),\u201d he says. \u201cKids\n are freer to enjoy their creative spirit with the knowledge that they can get up and try again. All the villains are\n fun and humorous, but many have deeper contexts that parents can use to exemplify lessons.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Power Outage does have a slight amount of number crunching, and still uses the \u201c\u2018math rocks\u2019 \u2014 i.e., dice \u2014 my\n kids loved to steal in the first place,\u201d El-Tayib adds. The game is designed to allow players of different skill\n levels to work together on the same goal, so kids of all ages can still play together. It lists generic powers for the\n avatars to use but leaves the details up to players\u2019 imaginations. Power Outage throws out the traditional RPG\n character races or classes \u2014 wizard, human, elf, etc. \u2014 to give kids more wiggle room to create the avatar they want,\n be it a robot, a werewolf, or a princess.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe sky is literally not even the limit,\u201d El-Tayib says. \u201cIt allows kids to keep their creative mind, while\n conditioning the effects into manageable gameplay. Heck, it even has a comic strip in the back that explains all the\n powers.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Running the Game<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Creating and testing the game and teaming up with designer Rosanna Spucces<\/a> to give it a polished look was the fun part. Getting Power Outage, a\n self-published, indie game, out in front of an audience, has been El-Tayib\u2019s biggest challenge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI\u2019ve often described promotion of an indie game with the analogy of a crowded bar,\u201d El-Tayib explains. \u201cEveryone is\n in there, clamoring to have their story heard, often talking over each other. You have that solid group of people that\n are always there listening to you, but your story never really branches out from your table. Your friends will share\n it, but the message doesn\u2019t get much farther out from where you are. Then someone walks in and everyone in the bar\n looks up at once and shouts \u201cNORM!\u201d You\u2019re incredibly appreciative and flattered by those that you have with you \u2014\n your small group of friends and fans. But you always wonder, \u2018Man, what makes everyone like Norm so much?\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

El-Tayib\u2019s found that his best tool for promotion is creating loyal fans of the game. He\u2019s given the rule book to\n podcasters and Twitch streamers and has run games online and at conventions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Earlier this year, he coordinated Shelter in Play, a quarantined-themed charity sale with 17 other kid-friendly game\n creators, who offered their products together as part of a $10 bundle. Proceeds were split between Extra Life 4 Kids<\/a> and the Child\u2019s Play Charity<\/a>, with each\n charity receiving a little over $3,500 each.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI\u2019ve probably given away eight times or more digital copies than I\u2019ve sold,\u201d El-Tayib says. \u201cOn the whole, I believe\n people in the communities I\u2019ve engaged with have a bit of faith in my character, and they\u2019ve rewarded me by helping me\n to promote things.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Home Base<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

El-Tayib has been a proud DreamHost<\/a> customer since 2006. So when it was\n time to get serious about publishing Power Outage, he knew exactly where to build its website, which he hopes to grow\n into a community hub for game players and fans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI like that it\u2019s built with WordPress, which has a lot of adaptability and the allowance for personalization,\u201d\n El-Tayib says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He\u2019s built websites for others and\n himself<\/a> for years. Along with a website for Go Nerdy<\/a>, his parent company\n that publishes Power Outage and other resources, El-Tayib runs a personal website, bebarce.com<\/a> (\u201cWho else gets to claim their own first name as a domain\n name?\u201d), and is developing a wiki\n site<\/a> to provide resources to make tabletop RPG play more accessible to people of all abilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDreamHost\u2019s support is great,\u201d El-Tayib says, \u201cand absolutely tolerant of my late night blunderings. There have been\n quite a few times they have bailed me out of a hotspot. The site structure on the back end is super intuitive and it\n offers a lot of control. Honestly if I\u2019m not building a site directly on DreamHost, I\u2019m often encouraging others to\n migrate to it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n

Work Ahead<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Outside of his day job and work on Power Outage, El-Tayib is passionate about writing. He\u2019s written a few children\u2019s\n books, and he\u2019s working on a series of princess-themed STEM stories with titles like \u201cThe Princess and the Placebo\u201d\n and \u201cA Princess\u2019 Primer to the Theory of Evolution.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI also enjoy woodwork, even though I\u2019m a bit of a novice at it,\u201d he says. \u201cI made a tie rack and, recently, some\n custom sandboxes for my kids and extended family.\u201d Tech consulting and side gigs also keep him busy, not to mention\n juggling his family and trying to invest time into advocating for more accessible gaming tables.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As far as Power Outage goes, he isn\u2019t done promoting or working on the game. He\u2019s working on supplemental adventures\n \u2014 a necessary component to keeping a tabletop game growing and earning money.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe biggest mountain is sustainability,\u201d he says. \u201cI have to find a way to create future products faster, with\n better turn around, and increased promotion.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Currently in the works: an adult version of Power Outage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt\u2019s called Power Outage: Neon Knights,\u201d El-Tayib says. \u201cThe idea is to take all the campy weirdness of Baywatch\n Nights and apply it to my own world setting. But of course, \u2018adult\u2019 doesn\u2019t necessarily mean it\u2019s in any way more\n mature. After all I\u2019m a pretty immature adult myself.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
