Back to the Future - end of Freshman Year

The story goes like this...
It's the end of the school year
They have just a few classes and finals left
Game start was a gym class where they play, instead of 'save-the-citizen'
they play bank robbers and heroes
Quick bank map, and have at each other
As luck would have it, the Desol and T-porter/street thug were both on the first 'bank-robbers' scene, So I asked them for their first actions ....
Then had Coach Boomer blowing his whistle, "OK that's round one, now you two teams switch sides ..."

I was afraid those two problem powers would be on opposite sides, but it worked out

So then, they had just two finals to prepare for
First, a paper due in history about their favorite hero from WWII.
which they could answer using any comic book hero they knew off, which the understanding that the character would be writing about some close analog from the game world
And Second, they needed to be able to study up for one question of their Mad Science Final
which was:
"name 5 of the 12 dimensions relevant to Teleportation" :-)
Naturally they can't answer it correctly, and since it's a practical final
Mr Medulla t-ports them off somewhere, saying that if they aren't back by the end of class they fail.
:-)
They land in their own city in June 1942, and end up saving the cities hero group, which had been captured by the 'Crimson Cranium." Who they find giving a maniacal speech in German
while in a hidden base under the still-under-construction, Empire City Center.
In the PC's time that auditorium is converted into a Superball stadium, because that base becomes the secret home of the Evil High School, Empire High.

The PC's rescued a bunch of heroes (interestingly enough mostly those they'd just written research papers about, hmmm?) And as they exited, one of them noticed a stock pile of TNT in a store room.

They are returned to their classroom just in time to pass the test, by Tommy Tomorrow (from Red Panda) whose t-travel gadget has 15 dials! (not just the 12 Mr Medulla expected) :-)

School - basics

The school is just a few blocks away from the street.
Roughly in the form of a cross.

The center is used for the youngest students and academic classes in general. All students are given instruction on the basics of reading, writing and maths, with some use of history and the science of the time as materials.

Each of the four wings are dedicated to learning of the four forms of power. Mystical, Physical, Spiritual, and Martial.

As each child grows, they are given opportunities to train in each, but in the end they must chose one to be their focus.

Once chosen, they spend more of their time in dedicated study in that wing.

This choice is made starting in the 13th year, and no later than the 15th. Occasionally the staff will encourage a student to rethink their choices after the first or second year of focused stuff.

In the Past ... first Fantasy Campaign game

For the first evening, we started with just names, races and stats. Each PC is a teenager growing up in the 'adventurers' quarter of a big city (see game setting.)

The opening sequence was a long pan shot picking up each PC along the street. WE started in the bakery, then down toward the coachmaker, then back to the fletcher and blacksmith, and finally to the garden. That's the run up the left side and down the right side of the street as we know it.

When all the boys were together, they decided to go fishing off the pier. Each tried to catch fish in his own way, one pole, one knife on a string, etc.

This fun was interrupted by the arrival of a large sailing ship bearing Johan's Band, returning rich from their adventures.

Chris

Human son of a male fighter. That father is a butcher, they live above the shop. There is a storage space under the shop.

The Docks

The docks nearest to the street (several cross streets down)

It was at this doc that the pc's were fishing that day. There Johan's Band returned, leaving their extra's on the doc for later. The pc's met some sea gnomes and had a quick skirmish, and later when they returned they were surrounded by zombie pirates.
