A dark, small-town adventure involving a little bit of investigation, a whole lot of saving people, and some run-ins with dark, spooky forces. (Obviously, I don't want to spoil the plot, so I'll just say that it's internally consistent, with no real plot holes, and is a nice mix of "supers" and "horror.") This adventure will work very well with low-powered, local heroes, but much less well as the scope of the campaign starts to widen -- it's hard to imagine (e.g.) Justice League members dealing with this situation. Icons uses the FATE system, which means that if you're even a little bit familiar with the FATE rules, it's easy to convert the game mechanics to any system you want -- I plan to use this adventure in my next GURPS Supers game, for example. Recommended.
