The Returned playbook is out on itch!

The Returned is a Masks: A New Generation playbook about coming back to life. It's inspired by characters who were killed off and returned, like Batman's Jason Todd, the New Mutants' Cypher and Magik, and the Runaways' Gertrude Yorkes.

My character for my friends Masks campaign! Her name is Stacy Luuu and she's from an alternate dimension version of earth. She adores highschool dramas and wants nothing more than to be the popular girl at her school and visit smoothie bars.

She's also just avoiding going back home to the hive mind assimilation ceremony

I am now taking suggestions for worldbuilding ttrpgs to build a setting for a Masks campaign!

Look at my son

I ordered a commission from @ohhhcrud and I'm very excited to hold it in my hands!!

This is one of my characters, Phillip Frakus from my campaign: "Starboard Stars". He's a guidance counselor at the high school and I love him to bits.

Thank you so much crud, I will treasure this like a dragon treasures it's gold.

One day with some of my friends I want to run a Masks ttrpg game in a version of the Worm setting, albeit with a few concessions due to how Masks works (for instance, although magic won't exist, I'll let some powers be more versatile, like Myrddin, to accommodate some power choices). I think it's a nice PbTA system, and is built for a group of younger Heroes who are getting into it, so perfect for a group of Wards

(Side note: I know that weaverdice exists. I respect that it exists, and I respect other people liking it and playing it. However, the rules aren't my thing, it seems to be mostly incomplete last I checked, and the character creation part would make it way harder to sell to my group of non-Worm-fans friends (and honestly also sorta turned me off from the game, too))

Hierarchy as a tool for Fun

Some players like to go into a roleplaying game and say "let's escape from the real world". They want their character to be independent! Answering to nobody! Nothing wrong with that, but I believe there's some good opportunities to use an organization in the game for rewards, development, and consequences. Hear me out:

The Rewards: Your PCs return from a dangerous mission, and not only receive a reward of cash and prizes, but their names and portraits go up in the Hall of Knights forever! Now NPCs will have to address them with a title, or take their advice seriously when everyone stands around that map table with the little army figures. I recommend being extremely professional until you've acquired fantasy tenure, so you can legally drink tea with the Queen while polymorphed into an ostrich. Or maybe you like the ranks and rewards, but not the good deeds? Your PC might ascend through an organized crime network, via murder and blackmail, until you have the power to track down the people responsible for your tragic past.

The Development: Your PC (perhaps as a result of a promotion) is given authority over some NPC members of the organization. Perhaps you've been tasked by your vampire Baron with setting up a new outpost and blood alchemy lab in the contested territory of Staten Island. Should be self-sustaining after a while, but for a month or so you've got to keep a half dozen Kindred on task, make sure they set the patrols properly, etc. Do you have what it takes for leadership? It's a neat little arc to try out! Or, what about this: your PC, one of the apprentice Navigators on the Rogue Trader ship, watches their mentor from the other side of a malfunctioning airlock. If they save him, they'll be celebrated. If they walk away, they might be promoted.

The Consequences: If you make a PC who believes in something, it makes a great story when that thing turns against you. But it doesn't have to be corruption and treachery every time. Sometimes, a failed mission or a hasty decision might create an epic scene where you try to explain yourself - or shout at the chief that you shouldn't have to explain yourself! Alternatively, what if your PC in a game of Masks is pulled out of a tough fight by the Justice League Hero Headquarters, avoiding the villain's plot but being demoted and losing their hard-won responsibilities? There's always fates worse than damage.

The De-Powered Playbook

The De-Powered playbook is out on Itch!

This #MasksRPG playbook is about losing your powers, but continuing to be a superhero, inspired by the X-Men's Storm, the New Mutants' Dani Moonstar, and the Young Avengers' Prodigy.
