A superhero game in an alternate timeline¸ where the heroes are ""deltas"" that are fighting against a repressive U.S. government. Powers are handled by pre-building power packages (10 given in the basic game). The system is a fairly simple open-ended attribute+skill dice pool (d6) vs difficulty¸ similar to the D6 or Icon Systems. - A description from https://darkshire.net/jhkim/rpg/encyclopedia/ with kind permission of John H.
