There’s a lot of good content here that it would be a shame to lose. Is there a plan to migrate any of it to our new platform? I’d be happy to do some of the lifting if we feel good about it, when we know our destination

Has anybody here tried Masks in a play-by-post style? I’ve heard of successful online games, but only of basically live ones.

I’m not convinced it can be done, but I’d love to hear about it if you’ve had any experience (good or bad) as a GM or player in an asynchronous Masks game.

Hey everybody — core rules question. When a character takes the “change playbooks” advance, I know they’re supposed to transfer all their advances below the line.

Are they allowed to, then, keep taking advances below the line, or do they need to take five above-line advances on their new playbook first?

EDIT: For an example: If I switch playbooks, can I take an adult move immediately (since I’ve already unlocked “below the line advances”), or do I need to take five advances in the new playbook first?

The corebook says, “Use the advancement track on your new playbook, but transfer any marks you’ve made below the line—those advances don’t ‘refresh’ when you change playbooks,” which doesn’t seem to point to an answer either way.

I can see an argument in favor of either, and nothing seems obvious or natural. I asked my GM, and he suggested that I check in with you all.
