Today marks the beginning of a very unique new entry in the Power Rangers franchise!
Twitch TV has officially announced their new RPG series- Power Rangers HyperForce! This series will be a live-stream table-top role-playing game, the first of its kind! 25 episodes are currently planned to air weekly in celebration of the Power Rangers’ 25th anniversary.
A very interesting story outline has been provided for this new series:
Power Rangers Hyperforce is set in the year 3016 at Time Force Academy. A team of Time Force Ranger cadets must band together to defeat an ancient evil who is set on unraveling the very fabric of the universe. Under the leadership of their mentor, Jen Scott, and with the show’s Game Master, Malika Lim, the newly minted Rangers will cross both time and space to complete their mission while running into many familiar eras (and faces) along the way.
The stakes have never been higher as the players learn what it means to be a Ranger in a live, tabletop RPG environment where anything can happen.
Hyper RPG has developed a Twitch Extension that will allow viewers to select a Ranger that is permanently tied to the user’s unique ID. Viewers will be able to send their Ranger out on daily missions, boss battles, and raids, as well as trade cool loot with other players.
And a special cast has been put together for the HyperForce adventures! Announced game players include:
*Peter Sudarso (Ninja Steel Blue Ranger)
*Paul “Bulk” Schrier
*Andre The Black Nerd
*Social Media personalities Meghan Camarena and Christina Vee
At least one guest star has also been confirmed: Erin Cahill (the Pink Time Force Ranger) will be on hand for the premiere episode.
Power Rangers HyperForce is currently scheduled to begin on Tuesday, October 24 2017 and air from 6PM-9PM EST! Be sure to tune in to the Twitch TV RPG Channel for this amazing new series!

This... actually sounds kinda cool. I genuinely expect the writing/dialog to be better than most PR series ( especially during fights, no more forced puns/attack names!), and it seems like they've tried to get people on board who will really get into it rather than just for promotional purposes- anything with Yoshi tends to be pretty fantastic. I've got tentatively high hopes for this one!
Interesting. They should get Vin Diesel to DM the thing.
So will there be new Ranger suits shown or not?
Who is Meghan Camarena and what do her and Christina Vee have to do with PR?
Wait, are they using another system or is this an Official Power Rangers PnP RPG?
Or am I misunderstanding entirely?
Also, after a cursory google search, Camarena is a YouTube personality with no connection I can find, and Vee is a voice actress, not a bad one by the by, who... co-hosted AnimeTV with Johnny Young Bosch? That's pretty much all I can find on it.
As always, the name of the game is to get people who follow these celebrities in to watching the show.
Peter and Paul make sense - current and former Power Rangers actors.
Andre - Saban has had him on speed dial for years, even though the larger he becomes, the more he ignores Power Rangers content
Meghan - no idea. Probably someone at HyperRPG giving her a "big break"
Vee - voice actress, though no ties to the show
EDIT: So Meghan is actually a big name YouTuber who has been on such shows like The Amazing Race (twice), and DisneyXD.
Overall, a star-studded cast with a rich background. Should be interesting.
Is there going to be an intro for Hyperforce?
Just replace "Mega" with "Hyper."
Paul Schrier? Hey, I'm sold. Should be pretty fun~
