Hello everyone, I have a dumb question: Can Heros shift their Labels whenever they want?

At first, I thought they could (I think I saw it done like that in a demo game on youtube with the creator… of course, I may be misremembering).

Also, in the Basic Moves sheet, it says under Shifting Labels on the Peripheral Moves section: “When you shift a Label, it means that your view of yourself is changing.” If I read it as a move, it seems you can just shift labels, as per the “When you [etc etc]” move formula. I should have expected to read: “When something makes you shift a Label…”

So, that’s why in my 1st session I told the players they can shift Labels anytime. But then later after the session, I was like… well then what is the point of the Influence moves and all that.

And here I am, asking you all this question.

Starting a Masks game today, and 2 of my players can’t come. Any advice to add them later to the team? (At least I know what playbooks they’ll be playing).
