Some people got to play Masks with Brendan Conway over the weekend, and it sounds like they had a good time.

I was lucky enough to play Masks with some fine folks at Brendan Conway’s virtual table today. It is one of my very favorite games, though I have not had as many chances to play as I would like. I played the Nova, Fission, a young scientist who found himself transformed into a god-like being with control over the molecular nature of objects. It was against type for me, as I normally prefer calm and collected skill based heroes to immense powerhouses fueled by conflict, and that gave me room to explore a little.
The real jewel of Masks of course is the complex inter-personal relationships between characters. Blasting the bad guy is way easier than telling a rival that you admire them or admitting your fear that you will lose your sense of what is right. This game was high-action, but never the less occupied that sweet spot. My favorite points were between Huma, the legacy, and Sureshot, the Beacon, who really formed the moral center of our group.
If you have not played Masks yet, I promise you that you are missing out!
