High School Drama | GURPS Kids

About the adventure

High School Drama is a GURPS game where players will design a Freshman High Schooler at a primo private school in New England. The idea is based primarily on Rockstar's Bully, a 2006 Action-Adventure video game about a Bully at a prep school, essentially GTA for kids. That spirit follows with massive personalities and the stereotypical factions, like Jocks, Nerds, Theater, Greasers, Socialites, Cheerleaders, and more! The protagonists will be Yojimbo-type characters who move between Contacts, Allies, and Enemies with the various factions, working for hire to gain influence and wealth. The general idea being, time will progress as you go to school, make grades, avoid teachers, break curfew, forge romantic relationships, and pull pranks. The overarching story will involve a larger conspiracy that requires cooperating or manipulating all of the various factions, giving opportunities for social engineering as well as several other skillsets, like Bruisers, Thieves, & Craftsmen. Ultimately the game is about having fun by accentuating and highlighting classic high school conventions, like a power-tripping teacher is a megalomaniac with delusions of grandeur or a super nerd is actually a genius with legions of nerd minions who do his bidding with advanced "super-tech". Taking those conventions and making them absurd for the purposes of drama and humor, but ultimately a relaxing fun game about kids surviving the drama of school.
