Rangers! Teleport to the Command Center!
Hello. My name is David J. Felding, but you might know me better as Zordon, the Eltarian and
mentor. to the first group of morphenominal teen superheroes that took the world by storm nearly thirty
years ago: the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. My time on the show was brief, but the character has
been a staple that Power Ranger fans all over the world recognize and knowing that my face has
contributed in some way to their love of the show is special, and also quite humbling. Being a part of
that world wide pop culture phenomenon is, to say the least, terrific, inspiring, and also something I do
my best to live up to. Because of my connection to the franchise, I’ve been able to meet so many
wonderful people. I’ve journeyed around the world to meet them and listen to them tell me how the
show and the characters brought them joy and a sense of community and belonging. So, it would be
remiss of me not to say thank you, to all the fans who have made the experience an outstanding one
fans like you, who have backed and purchased this amazing Power Rangers Roleplaying Game.
What you are holding in your hands is something truly special.
Roleplaying games have been a huge part of my growth and knowledge as a writer and also an
actor. I began playing them when I was still in high school and still enjoy them today, and I am
grateful for all the times I’ve gathered around a table of fellow players and Game Masters to tell
collective stories of high adventure, full of laughter, excitement and yes, even a few tears.
Roleplaying games and systems are amazing tolls that allow each and every one of us to tell
stories. To lift ourselves up out of the ordinary and to explore the extraordinary. They encompass so
many creative elements they are theater, they are creative writing, they are graphic art and design, they
are therapy, they are safe havens, and they are escape, They allow us to slip inside the skin of beings
and characters that face great dangers and thrilling situations even if those hazards are circumstance are
imaginary ones. What matters is, through collective storytelling, we all live them.
And that is a beautiful thing.
Remember way back when? When you would watch the Power Rangers on television and then
rush outside to recreate your favorite moments or to create new ones of your own?
Well, now you can do that again! Because you will find within the pages of this book are rules
and guidelines to bring your own version of the Power Rangers to life.
Want to recreate the events of Green with Evil , but with your own unique twist?
You can.
Want to see the Time Force Rangers team up with the Rangers from Beast Morphers and guide
them through a series of encounters against the nefarious plans of a group of powerful evil warlords
including Ranzik, Queen Bansheera, and Evox.
You can.
The possibilities are endless. The only limit is your own imagination and we all know your
imagination is limitless. So, what are you waiting for Ranger? Grab your morpher and take a stance,
join forces with your teammates and facedown the worst evil has to offer!
Because as Power Rangers, the world is lucky to have you. And so am I.
May the Power Protect You,
David J. Fielding
