The campaign was a teen super hero story using the Powered by the Apocalypse system <em>Masks</em>. The <em>Masks </em>system is great for teen drama and coming of age stories for superheroes that still live with their parents, have school, and don't know who they want to be yet. Joel and the players did a great job of capturing those feelings in a world where superpowered individuals are under threat. The government attempts to register all teen superpowered people and there are tons of organizations looking to kidnap superpowered teens to enslave them. Does good win in the end? Well... probably. That's how these stories work, right?
