Ran the convention RPG in one day with two GMs, and almost 10 players. (14 scheduled, a total of nine PC participants, ‘tho not all at once.) It was awesome, getting to have so many players, splitting and combining groups. The real interesting part was the finale, where the only unpicked character, Huma, came back under mind control to fight the other players. (Including Toro who found him tremendously annoying and declared him her Rival.)
A moment of truth brought Rook industries down (I would hate to have to insure that place.) But the real twist was Rosa Rook was a space alien, the exact same type as Skysong! I love it when an off-the-cuff idea ties all eight or so plot lines together.
Shout out to my ships: Skysong/Grasshopper, Toro/Vertex (they fell in love when Toro saved him from a gang), And mega props to Carbine, for sniping three consecutive heroes and occupying a fourth during her escape. (So many misses.)

9 Players? AMAZING! Now I ask. The official characters have official playbooks? Or how you manage them?
Lucas Eliel Sosa I scoured through the main Masks rulebook some time ago and found the following info regarding the 10 original playbooks and the characters, from the various example scenes littered throughout the book.
1. The Beacon, Sureshot, played by Mark.
2. The Bull, Toro, played by Marissa.
3. The Delinquent, Vertex, played by Jack.
4. The Doomed, Dusk, played by Grace. Nemesis is Lady Faust.
5. The Janus, Grasshopper, played by Jenn.
6. The Legacy, Huma (real name Rustam Attar), played by Rich.
7. The Nova, Fission (real name Tyler Wallace), played by Sarah.
8. The Outsider, Skysong, played by Andrea.
9. The Protégé, Hornet (real name Lian Song), played by Joe. Mentor is Mantis.
10. The Transformed, Rex (real name Michael Stafford), played by Matt.
Fascinating! What made you choose to use the characters from the playbook art?
They all had interlocked backstories as part of the module.
