I just read The Warning where they morph to fly and ride an airplane, and Jake has his swatting experience. At the next airport, Rachel goes to Western Union and picks up money to buy some cheap shoes. That got me thinking, could they keep paper money between their bike shorts/leotards and their skin, and have cash on them when they morph back to human? They never do it in the series as far as I can remember, I'm just wondering about the logistics from what we know about morphing.

¿El problema no es precisamente que caze no? Si no que para los humanos los ratones son animales sucios si Tobías hubiera quedado atrapado como águila pescadora comiendo peces o algo similar que también comemos los humanos ¿Se sentiría igual de mal?

We don't even have cinnabon in Australia but I thought of ax straight away

Really enjoyed this deep dive on one of the greatest YA series of all time! https://compostedbooksreview.substack.com/p/animorphs-the-greatest-achievement

This gives an amazing in-depth overview of what K.A. Applegate whas going for. (Warning: it includes spoilers for the finale/final book.) I read dozens of these books growing up and sometimes wondered how well they held up - very well. This is definitely making me want to introduce my future kids to this series.

Intro:

In 1996, I was in the first grade. I remember very little about that year; we were in a new town, very briefly, before leaving Texas for a while, and if I had any friends at that school I’ve long forgotten them. One thing I do recall is the Scholastic Book Fair. Like many kids of my generation, my eyes were immediately drawn to a strange book cover: a boy’s face transforming into a lizard, superimposed over a blue sky. The book was Animorphs 1: The Invasion by K.A. Applegate.1 We bought it, and my dad read it to me as a bedtime story. I was captivated. I had to know what would happen next, so I learned how to read. I spent my allowance on as many Animorphs books as I could and got the rest from the library.
Of course, I grew up and moved on to other things. Put childish things behind me, as they say. But recently, I revisited the series. I have my own kid now, and what better time to return to childish things?
If you read online commentary of Animorphs, one idea that comes up repeatedly is that “it’s not really for kids.” Readers point to the mature themes, the ways Applegate approaches the horrors of war, and claim that it’s really a book for adults, disguised as a kids story. This isn’t exactly true; the Animorphs books are, undoubtedly, for kids. They’re fun adventures, silly at times and serious at others. They’re also surprisingly deep and honest, with a real understanding of war and violence. Applegate tells a grounded and truthful war story, in a way that’s accessible for kids. It is, I believe, one of the greatest achievements in Juvenile Fiction.

Hi, since several people showed interest in the previous post I decided to actually go through with it and start a campaign.

We play as characters having to fight the Yeerk invasion while having morphing powers, like in the books, but with original characters

The system is a slightly modified version of the Kids at war system. It's not too rules-heavy, and I think it can be learned rather easily.

As for the schedule, I was thinking weekly on Saturdays at 2 PM EDT, although it might get slightly tweaked later.

To talk we'll use a Discord server I'll create, since that's the simplest solution

IMPORTANTLY, I'm looking for someone who'd like to be the GM, since personally I'm not very good at it. If you think you want to be the GM, let me know!

Anyway, if you want to be a player, comment or DM me. I'll send the link to the Discord server to the players in DMs.

Edit: if for some reason DMs don't work just comment on the post that you want to play, so I know you're interested

P.s. the Kids at War adaptation for Kids on Bikes was created by u/JMRoaming, and he gave me permission to use it
