Masks: A New Generation RPG: Actual Play – Page 2 – Powered by the Apocalypse G+ Archives

One of our group shifted from Legacy to Harbinger between seasons as he was ripped into the future.

One of our group shifted from Legacy to Harbinger between seasons as he was ripped into the future. His memories have been hazy but with a big battle ahead we decided to use Microscope to see what the grim, dark future would be like.

The photo cards are all the PCs and NPCs and where they died in this future. All apart from Tyr who is our clueless former Legacy back in the present to change things (he reappeared in the pink post it on the top left of the first photo). Oh and King Karbon, the ruler of the Periodic Table of Evil, who destroyed reality by wrecking physics at the end of the timeline.

This was great fun, kind of like getting to wreck all the toys we’ve built in our first two seasons of Masks. Now they need to make sure it never happens this way.

This session negotiations with Subversion begin, and things escalate as the night goes on.

In tonight’s episode of Masks I killed off an NPC.

In tonight’s episode of Masks I killed off an NPC. She sacrificed herself as a means to save a couple of others, one of which is a teen NPC who will likely become a villain in response to this tragedy.

That had always been in the design for these two NPCs, though the way it played out involved a PC rolling a 6 on a Defend roll, so now she feels like the death is entirely her character’s fault for failing.

The next session will likely begin with a lot of fantastic angst and grief as the characters deal with the fallout of this session (They were there because the soldier disobeyed a direct order and brought them to a fight beyond their pay grade).

After that, I will want to lighten things up a billion percent and get everyone’s spirits up. This was Homecoming night, so we’re due a fun Halloween episode. I’d love suggestions for fun, silly, lighthearted Halloween hijinks for teen supers to deal with. What do you guys recommend?

Hello everyone.

Hello everyone. I’m very happy to have received such a warm welcome to my previous post. And I’m also very happy to announce that the Masks campaign I’ve been running for the past 7 months have finally come to an end last Saturday (19 January 2019).

I made an Actual Play video series for the campaign as well as wrote down the campaign summary (which became freakishly long, as you can imagine).

Given below is the link to the Google Doc file of the Campaign Summary which also includes link to an Imgur album which lists and credits every single art and picture we used and the Youtube Playlist for the Actual Play.

This was my second time GMing ever and the first time I’ve ever actually completed a campaign. So this was very much a learning experience for me. I made lots of rookie GMing mistakes and I hope that I can use that knowledge to run future games much better.

Thank you for your interest and if you are insane enough to read through the following 90 pages of wall-of-text, then please let me know how you enjoyed the story and how I can do a better job.

Edit: The name of the campaign ‘The Gauntlet’ refers to a series of challenges. It is not made as a reference to any gloves or the Gauntlet RPG community (whose existence I wasn’t aware at the time I began the campaign).

The teenaged heroes of Masks: A New Generation: High Impact Heroics return, reeling from the discoveries they’ve made in the secret lab of the villain known as Plague Hack! Now that the team is reunited, though, they have some time to take stock, go over what they’ve learned, come to terms with Spitfire having been cloned, and . . . prepare to go to the Halcyon City High School #5 Semi-Formal Dance? Awkward moments, superpowered chaperones, a first kiss or two, and Morgan spiking the punch bowl aren’t the only things that might make this dance explosive, though. As things heat up on the dance floor, I step aside to talk about using old tricks for the fun of it, or How I Learned To Stop Worrying And Indulge In Clichés.

Latest Masks RPG session saw the B-Team get deeply into trouble while the Salvatores were off-world.

Latest Masks RPG session saw the B-Team get deeply into trouble while the Salvatores were off-world. It started simply enough: Kevin (The Beacon) got a mission to extract an undercover reporter from a gang war. He suited up and called in his semi-allies…

Craig, a.k.a. Glow-rion (The Delinquent), was in it mostly to get his hands on more of the superpower drug Invictus. He stretched his powers to create a psychic rocket launcher and to musically befuddle a knock-off Chopbuster. But ultimately, he learned that huffing a burning cloud of Invictus is unwise, and began to re-evaluate his life.

Adonis (The Star), now sporting a dark cape and mohawk, had a new scheme to get his acclaim-based powers back. He tried endearingly to cultivate an edgier persona, and did get a gang of Vaudvillains to believe he was his own evil twin, Tammuz.

For Red Cent (The Reformed), it was a personal mission. Her step-dad Bounty is the drug dealer under siege…turns out it’s part of his plan to fake his death and leave the biz. The two come to an understanding—just in time to team up against RC’s old mentor, Penny Dreadnought.

Kevin (as Sir Percival of Capstone) completed the mission with a Moment of Truth, stealing Bounty’s ride to whisk reporter Abby Rhoades to safety. The rest of the team collapsed into recriminations and double-crosses over the Invictus supply, ultimately destroying it. Huzzah?

This session the players try non-violent conflict resolution in a situation where they could have easily overpower their opponent. We also get a good interaction near the end of the session where our legacy chooses which move to use on her father in a way that marks the difference between being family and being heroes.
