The Plot
1- Val the counselor is assisting each teacher, Mr Medulla, Coach Boomer and Mr. Boy. She's fallen hard for Mr. Boy, "If only he could guide more of these impressionable children!"
Her power's allow her to suppress super abilities. This suppression can last indefinitely IF she chooses to maintain it. At some point she'll be forced to take her turn watching detention (the courtesy class), which will break her hold on them.
She will choose several likely cases during power placement, then hold it.
-- why? pick boys? pick people she thinks need special help? Random? who she is next to?
2- Krag the simple thug has been looking to score something... maybe there is something he can steal and sell, maybe he's after the gravity displacer. Maybe he's after the detention center controls? Maybe he's just hired by the Ray as muscle.
3- The Ray, out to discredit Medulla or further his rivalry with Shard. Out to destroy Sky High
replace Principal Powers ... how?
replace students - subtle mind control or infiltration?
replace staff with robots
Valentina Zambrovski
he wants Val to suppress certainpowers. either to distract the staff, or to prevent his own detection?
or perhaps eventually to trick herinto suppressing Principal Power's own pwer, allowing kidnapping, or other havoc in the high school

The young Mr Yim is very anxious to please ... his parents. . She's a doctor, he's an engineer, neither has powers. As a student he is more interested in fun than study. Someday he'll have to break the news to this parents that he's NOT going to be a Doctor.
Hanks abilities still thrill him, when they work. He can manifest a vehicle around his body, and go really fast ... mostly in a straight line. It looks like he's riding a small motorcycle.

The Mystery of the Vengeful Snowmen
Claw is still in the broken fridge, chowing down on sausages ...
The Mystic arrives, asks, "Where is IT?" Eventually, Rajive produces the Amulet of the Squash God, and hands it over to the green cloaked, staff carrying figure. He never gives a name, but does get a description of the conflict. 2 yellow squash head, and the lead Pumpkin head who was after Rajive. Plus the 3 appliances, fridge, stove and deep fryer.
He leaves in a shimmering shower snow, saying, "next time, don't just give IT away".
Luke's foster parents sign his paperwork, they know about his powers, and they live near a Police station.
Seth's dad is very excited about his son flying, "can I watch!" he's a "work from home geologist" he finds interesting rocks in his yard.
David forges his signature via fax.
----
cut away scene, man in expensive suit arrives in a rolls outside a very old stone building. Someone opens the door for him, and the camera gives a tight shot of the doorman, whose eyes are all white!!! pasty man closes the door behind them.
----
First night of Christmas Break, the gang gathers at the tree house for a night of gaming. Rock Band, and Bash on the Wii.
The snow is shaking off the tree from vibrations from the huge speakers... boom boom boom.
Heavy snow is falling, there's been snow on the ground for days, they remember seeing snowmen at many homes in the neighborhood. Most with hits, coal eyes, scarves, and carrots for noses.
----
Maybe Rajive's and Seth's families live close.
----
they decide to walk all together, and see one lone figure walking down the middle of the snowy street. They are going the same direction so they follow it. It turns off the street and up to a house, and then .... TBD

Homecoming - Fourth Quarter
Seth and Car bring her father to the bus ...
but Luke isn't there to meet them.
The game continues, the next object is ... a bowling ball?
Seth and Car return to the building, and luckily Car detects Krag waiting for them right around a corner.
Luke punches out of a box, into a dark room (a closet), finds the door, and the glowing eyes outside it waiting for him.
IN the game, EHS gets the bowling ball from SH, and scores it. Score 6-5.
The last object is a large .... thingy. EHS nearly scores, it, but they too lose control ... SH considers destroying it, but then one of them picks it up. It's damaged, but not broken.
Meanwhile, Luke is fighting the eyes.. tries a legsweep, only it doesn't have legs...
Krag goes down in the hall, and they hear Luke shout, "It's a ...it's a giant SNAKE!"
They manage to drive it off him, and escape to the bus. Flying directly back to the stadium, they jump or port down to the game. Car lands on the field, but immediately leaps into the stands.
She's chasing the Lizard at the game ... tries to slip away, but Luke sees who she is chasing, and ports in front of him and uppercuts him.
Finally, Rajive asks Mr Medulla why he has been laughing since the gadget appeared. He laughs again, and says, 'are you sure you want to know right now?', Rajive nods, Medulla presses the button on the gadget. and the credits start rolling.

Homecoming - Halftime
Homecoming halftime
Traced kidnapping to EHS stadium
Very short game, one hour.
Halftime recap - Luke, Seth and Car find their way to the EHS stadium. There they find Krag, a scientist, and some glowing eyes. (what did they do?)
Car's father is tied up in the middle of the field. The lights are dark except on center field. Car suggests they destroy the control box for the webber grill sized automatons, but Krag somehow gets warned and jumps in the way of Seth's blue beam.
The automatons open up, spewing legs and arms and starting to move.

Who is behind this?
Do they merely want to mess with Magnolia? or Sky High?
or are they just trying the make a buck? ( Probably )
Teaser - back in the game, the next object appears ... a baby!

Claw
Max, aka Junior, aka Claw.
Son of a hero and a backup singer ... sidekick.
Max looks
Max really wants to get along, but he has a temper, and expects to be treated with the respect due to the son of a hero. Meanwhile, he also likes mixing it up. He considers himself a tough guy, but unfortunately he's lived a pretty pampered life.
His powers are natural, retractable claws, tough, regen. His tough but short fur protects him, but does make him stand out from the crowd. He wears loose baggy clothing, and likes to think of himself as a little 'gansta'
Parents: Divorced, Claw and ?
Rivalry with PC's

Graviton
Mature and self aware ... OK a little too self aware. She's a little stuck up. Granted, she's one of the prettiest girls from her school. AND she has a real power. And she's from one of the riches families in town. AND she is from a very powerful family. So, she has every reason to be proud, and make sure her hair is just right.
She has the power to control gravity. She can cause people to feel very heavy, trapping them to the ground, or very light, floating in the air, or even pull them off balance. She's really not ready to mix it up, might muss her hair.
Gravity powers, at range. More like 'affect reality' than TK. Could be STR drain for high gravity.
Recent new use to suspend a foe in the air, like an entangle.

Superball
GENERAL Sport played by supers. Objects must be controlled and moved into goals to score points. Alternately, some objects can be destroyed for less points. Full use of powers is allowed. Minor wounds even unconsciousness is common.
FIELD
Any size field can be used.
Goals are sized appropriate to the field, typically around 30' x 20'
Goals are solid backed with several layers of hard and soft materials to reduce damage to both the goal and players
Walls are high and reinforced
Stands are common.
See Sky High Field and the Crows Nest (pending)
PLAYERS
5 players to a side
One a goal tender (no specific rules stated for this role yet)
Substitutions are allowed between 'balls'
Players are given the best of care and almost always recover between the halves.
OBJECTS (aka 'balls')
Objects vary wildly, and no repeats are allowed in a game.
Pick up games will use whatever is available, and will reuse as desired. Hard objects are used often, since they need to be replaced less often.
3 points awarded if the object in play passes into the opposing goal.
1 point is awarded if the object in play is destroyed by the opposing team.
The object is delivered alternately to each team.
A game is defined by the list of objects, with a halftime when half the objects are scored (by entering the goal, or being destroyed)
Example Objects include (but not limited to)
Referees (almost always supers)
1- Judge when the object is scored;
2- Disqualify players when lethal force is used (by their judgement)
3- Select and order the objects
4- Other duties as needed
High School matches are organized between schools. A long rivalry exists between Sky High and Empire High.

Seth Walker
Seth is the son of a heroine, and a geologist. Mom was the Amazing Blue Beam, dad dug in the mud. Sadly, Mom died in a huge blast one day on the dig. Seth got his powers and an enemy all at once, as he and one of the researchers each caught part of the explosion. An ancient relic, in the form of a star sapphire exploded
Seth got some shards of that amazing crystal embedded in his hand. The researcher wasn't so lucky, he got it in the face. Seth somehow protected himself and his father from the rest of the blast with a large shield that formed out of his hand. Since then, he's found a way to also make a crude club, sort of like a baseball bat out of the same energy. It's simple, but powerful.
Power: Various blasts
Parents: Father is alive, Mother disappears after the accident in which he gained his powers.
Hunted: Dr Ray, Sinestro type teacher at EHS
Note: Father may be the original Blue Flashlight
Future Hero name (currently) Shard

Empire High School - EHS
Empire High School - aka EHS, aka Evil High!
Mascot - a Crow
There is a large statue of a Crow at the pinnacle of the building. The PC's did some minor vandalism by painting the crow pink. They only got a little paint on it before they were interrupted.
This is the other super normal high school in the city. On the surface it's a tall office building structure downtown, Empire City Center. Underneath is where the interesting things occur.
They have a Superball stadium. It's well below ground. It doesn't hold as many people as that at Sky High, but it will hold several thousand.
-- during they PC's Freshman summer break, there was an explosion and the building was destroyed.
Students include:

Sky High Game Structure
The game is set the year after the movie. So Stronghold and his friends are Sophomores at least.
Each game is structured after a school day, starting with the pickup by the bus, and ... Ron Wilson, bus driver. (His radiation accident hasn't happened yet.)
If there are new characters, there will be a power placement event first thing in the day.
The day looks like this:

The day looks like this:
- Wakeup
- Bus trip (with perception and ego checks for the newbies to scream when they go off the ramp)
- Welcome and power placement (if necessary)
- A class - usually Mr Medula
- Lunch - chance for bulk and Skull ... I mean Stretch(?) and Speed(?) to cause some trouble.
- another class
- Gym (end of day)
- Bus home
- Evening events (often a dance)
First!
Welcome. Dunno if anyone but me will ever read this, but welcome anyway.
The goal of this blog is to capture thoughts about and document for later reference, the events of various games I run. Mostly these will be games for the boys, but will probably include games for others especially prep for conventions.
We'll see.
Things I need to learn.

We'll see.
Things I need to learn.
- How to hide stuff. At some point the boys might find or be referenced to this. I'll want some way to keep them from tripping over spoilers. Yeah, they'll still be able to see them, but games are about trust. -- found some help on this. more complex than I can handle tonight, I'll come back to it.
- How to link to stuff. There will probably be places on the web that I'll want to note or reference for other games. For example, I think I'll be tracking XP in a google doc spreadsheet. -- added some links to the page, XP and Hero Games. Still need to learn to add links IN a post. Mostly done.
- How to tag. If I end up using this much, there will be treads for Sky High, the Champions game for Adult heroes, GENCON, etc. I suspect that tags are the way to separate them. -- they are called labels. DONE
- How to allow comments. In the ideal world this would be a forum for my favorite co-writers to comment on games, and feed me idea's. -- played with it, we'll see.
