So, the last thread was really cluttered and the Playbook for The Persona has moved….so insanely far from what it was to what it is I feel it’s more appropriate to re-post this. There’s a lot I could say about this Playbook. That no one asked for it (except someone did), that it doesn’t need to exist (too late), that it’s totally not what I intended to make (it really…isn’t), that it’s the longest time I’ve spent on a single Playbook (it is by a massive margin and I know we’re not done here), that a Multi-Class Playbook is just not a thing, that a PVP book is absolutely not something Masks needs or the system supports, that I’m running out of things to say, that you can save money by switching to some insurance company.

But really there isn’t that much more to say. The Persona is meant to fill in the role of a hero that needs to take extreme measures to fight the good fight. He’s the ends that the means can’t justify. He’s the shadow of the team, but he’s part of the team all the same.

I took out a lot of stuff for this. Really whitteled it down to what it needed to be. I reworked the Token system to the point it went away. I reworked the Darkness mechanic until most of the rolling should be done by roleplaying. Like the game intends. It went from A Doomed+Janus concept to its own thing. The mission you have should be part of the overall story. The bonuses you get should help no matter what Persona you’re wearing. The moves support someone who leans on their hero side, their alias side or tries to balance both. The Relationships are way better now.

It’s a new playbook.

I am eager to present to you, for the first time and not the first time, The Persona. Catch me next time before the curtain falls on G+ for The Advocate
