Well, I threw $80 at the KS based on all the fun y’all seem to be having already… hope the game is good! 🙂
I’d love any pointers to the rules themselves… I signed up for the mailing list and got the 3 files, but I don’t see enough there to tell me how to play. 🙁
Have you read Apocalypse World?
I have it, but haven’t played it before. Is this just a layer on top of that? I can go re-read it and see where that takes me, thanks for the pointer!
Apocalypse World, Tremulus, Dungeonworld, Monsterhearts, any would be a good read for an idea of how things work.
The “Powered by the Apocalypse” games are skins of varying thickness on top of Apocalypse World.
Thanks, all! My last supers game was using MHR, which I think is still my high-water-mark for a superhero game… was sad it died.
You won’t need another PbtA (Powered by the Apocalypse) game to play Masks; it is, or will be, a self contained game. But as other people have said, reading and being familiar with other PbtA games will help you grok Masks faster. 🙂
That is really good news, Chris Stone-Bush
Masks will be a self-contained book when it’s finished, so it will absolutely contain everything you need to play it, all on its own. For now, all the books that others pointed out are good references to get an idea of how the system works, and we’re putting together a quickstart with more information on how to run Masks—we hope to get that out soon!
