The My Side of the Mountain series are my favorite books. I had an idea when I picked up the book again: I bet I can make a RPG out of this. And here it is, lol. It is about running away from home, and trying to live off the land. Here is your character sheet:
Name: Age: (between 13 and 17) Money: $40 Traps: None Tools: Ax, Backpack Inventory: Living Area: None Pets: None HP: 100/100 XP: 0/100 Know-How: 1 (this is your level)
For this game, the players will also need pencil and papaer, because this is also a bit of a simulation (although I wouldn't suggest running away from home, lol). You will need to take notes of what plants you can/can't eat, how to make stuff, and other things. All the thing that you learn in here might help you survive by yourself out in the woods (but like I said earlier, I wouldn't suggest running away).
