Very excited about this game.
There’s a superhero concept I’ve been keen to play for a while, and I’d love to hear some thoughts about how to make it workable in Masks. My conundrum is that I’d like to try a more introspective and conflicted version of The Bull, with a bit of The Nova’s fear of their own powers.
For this particular hero, I was thinking of re-writing The Love and The Rival to be The Balm and The Tormentor.
____ is your Balm. They helped you maintain control when you were on the edge.
____ is your Tormentor. They provoked you into doing something you deeply regret.
I’d be interested to hear what people think about that notion. Thanks.
I think the Love and Rival are still fine in the context of what your looking for. How someone defines what love and rivalry are is a rather personal choice anyways.
Honestly you could use the bull template and play with how they perceive themselves. Especially if you start with the Bull in a China Shop move.
Yeah, Love and Rival are left deliberately vague… You wouldn’t need to hack the playbook to play it like that, I feel, just make it clear as you’re creating the character.
