High school life comes with intense rivalries: the in-group versus the out-group, the weirdoes versus the normals, the heroes versus the villains. But when a school’s goal is to create a better future, an “us versus them” mentality only holds their students back. And so, the Claremont Academy is opening its doors to help open hearts, inviting students of the mysterious Elysian Academy to Freedom City for a week of friendly,
intermural collaboration and competition! And while Headmaster Summers expects “spirited hijinks” from these visitors, no one could suspect that every student is in dire danger as the stars align for sacrifice!
Star-Crossed evokes classic super-powered teenage rivalry tropes, harkening back to comic book scenarios where teen teams face off against their young criminal counterparts, often on a recurring basis, as members of competing organizations or schools. Star-Crossed also sets up another classic scenario, where opposing hero and villain factions are played against each other by a primary manipulator, all to
serve a sinister ultimate purpose.
Star-Crossed is an adventure for 4-6 PL 8 heroes. Like many Hero High adventures, it is a roleplaying-heavy adventure with lots of opportunity for drama, rivalry, and friendship, and you should be prepared to juggle the personalities and attitudes of six different teenage villains over the course of the adventure. This adventure assumes the heroes are students at the Claremont Academy, a school for young superhumans
located in Freedom City, but it can easily be set anywhere on Earth-Prime or your own setting that incorporates a similar “super hero school” for younger heroes.
Astonishing Adventures brings you exciting, ready-to-run scenarios for Mutants & Masterminds, Third Edition, complete with all the action and villains you need to bring the story to life!
