Work continues to suck. The Department of Education is obviously trying to move beyond micro managing and into nano managing. I've pretty much decided to ride the current administration out. eventually al these corporate types will lose interest and go to other jobs and indulge their thirst for power elsewhere.
I finished the second Hero Force expansion, no title as yet. I'm firmly back in writing and even playing a game! I ran Hero Force for my old gang last night and it went all right. I feel terribly rusty as a GM though. Another session might change that.

I had four players who took the following character types:
Deuce Makina- a demigod who was severely trashed and became a cyborg.
Mystique- a Spellcaster (new character type from the next supplement. Basically she uses spells to imitate Universal Powers, magic sense and a small dimension she access to ppear and disappear.).
Duster- a pilot who gained telekinetic and mind reading powers flying into a freak electrical storm (Telekinetic Master from my next expansion).
Sue- a Divine/Immortal air elemental who can turn to air and control wind and temperature.
We played Evolution Gone Wild.
<<<<<Spoilers Follow>>>>>
The game went as follows
The characters stopped to intervene at a traffic accident when the drivers tried to kill each other with clubs. The police who arrested the men were almost as brutal. Duster read the minds of the drivers and though his powers were only enough for a surface scan he realized something was very wrong (Rage, unreasoning rage... hey bananas!). Duster quickly subdued another citizen beating his arms and hopping on cars and took a blood sample. With the sample in hand the four headed to Victory General Hospital.
On the way there an out of control tractor trailer nearly ran downa a little girl. Deuce the 'borg mad a leap into the street and realized he had no time to get out of the way. Instead he flung the girl into the air and Dster caught her with TK and set her down to scurry away
At Victory General they found a lab with notes from a doctor tracking the spread of the epidemic and notes on the condition (that degenrated into doodles of bananas). They realized the reservoir was the source of the toxin used to devolve the city. They also realized one of them should have taken Science skill.
At the reservoir the Rhesoid minions of Dr. Azoth began shooting at them. Mystique wrapped them up with a sorcerous snare. Sue let them waste ammo on her by going gaseous. Duster entered the control area and used his TK to shut the water valves and stop the flow of water into the city. Deuce contacted the National Guard and told them not to let relief forces drink the water. Sue interrogated the Rhesod and learned of Dr. Azoth looting the city.
Then the T-Rex attacked. Duster was concerned about his motorcycle getting stepped on and took off. The T-Rex pursued. Deuce shot at it with a rifle he grabbed fromone of the monkey men. Sue blasted leaves and dust at the dino's eyes as Duster used his TK to lift his bike into the air. The T-rex rolled a one and chomped down on the back wheel of the bike. Duster lost the rear wqheel but managed to pull the dinosaur into the reservoir. Sue learned she could freeze an entire reservoir and they left a soaked and suttering dino behind to head to the city.
They found Dr. Azoth without too much trouble, although watching the devolved Titan at giant size beating his chest at the top of the Victory Tower was a little disconcerting.
Mystique tried to make Dr. Azoth's loot disappear but missed her roll. Dster flipped the tank he was using over disabling it as Deuce smashed in the rear hatch and grabbed the mad doctor. Azoth's thoughts betrayed him (Those fools may have my antidote but they have no way to disperse it across the entire city in less than a few hours! Hahahahahahaha!). The group had a quiet chuckle and then Sue went over to Azoth and said, "Hi, I'm Sue, guess what I do?"
***WHOOOOOSH***
<<<<<Spoilers End>>>>>
The rest of the team cheered Sue (although several out of character and un-Silver Age remarks were made about what kind of a job she did and for so many people).
The day was saved and Titan shook their hands all around and made sure the new knew who did it. next week I'm asking them to name their team.
