I'm currently running two campaigns, one for Lancer and one for Masks.

In Lancer, my players just finished their first series of combat. They had opened up with making a supply raid against a convoy, taking out their escorts and then seizing it. Now, for the second half, they held back against enemy reinforcements while their transport made away with the supplies. They now have enough materials to perform maintenance and upgrade their mechs, clone themselves in case of emergency, and have retrieved some mysterious black crates that seem to emit an unusual wavelength. For our next session, I'll be showing them about leveling up, as well as providing information on the narrative mechanics of Bonds.

For Masks, we had our Session 0. All players are new to both the system (PbtA) and the game, but they're interested in learning and have dedicated themselves so far. The 4 playbooks they chose were Doomed, Nova, Legacy and Transformed, which give me a lot of leeway into presenting extra-powerful threats and letting the sword of collateral damage hang over their heads - as well as promise power at a cost to a few, if they're willing to pay. We are playing on a world that had a type of "No more mutants" tragedy happening, and 95% of all metahumans/superpowered folks have disappeared, leaving the remaining teams to "promote" teen heroes to the front to deal with keeping peace. Next week they're going to face their first threat, as well as deal with their internal turmoil over being handed such responsibility.

How about y'all, what have you been into?
