I’ve read through the preview PDFs (but haven’t read the full rulebook, for obvious reasons) and I’m having a bit of trouble understanding how combat works in this game. I expect most of the fighting will be the players rolling to “directly engage,” but none of the options that move offers lead to the villain being beaten, except maybe “take something from them” with that something being their freedom, consciousness, or even life if it comes to that. Am I reading the moves wrong?

Will be running Masks as an open table type game, think League of Heroes.

Will be running Masks as an open table type game, think League of Heroes. With the first 5 heroes coming to play every other week. We will be creating all the characters at the same time.

1) anyone tried running Masks as an Open Table type game? Any tips?

2) Anyone used the play test playbooks? What were your impressions?

3) Since I might have a large initial cast, I will probably (really not sure about this) allow playbook dupes, this is the thing I worry the most about, how would you approach it?

For character creation I was looking at doing a round of DramaSystem setup, then the Masks questions. Any/all suggestions welcome.

Thanks

Hi, I’ve read the last pdf a couple of times and I have some questions, most of them probably due to not being a native english speaker. Some kind soul that wants to help? I’m planning to start a game next week with my playing group!

1) Should a telepathic suggestion, eg, from a Nova PG, trigger “directly engage a threat”? This, as an example where engaging a threat may be subtle or indirect

2) In the Bull playbook the relationships define the love and the rival used in “the bull’s heart”. The manual says that the relationships have to be between PCs, but at the same time opens to the possibility for NPCs to be lovers/rivals, while recommending PCs. Should at least start as PCs?

3) In the “pretty much a superhero” move what does it mean “pick a second label they assign to you”? It’s just about the consideration of the involved NPC or has any effect on the beacon’s labels?

4) The Doomed Sanctuary move requirements are chosen at the time the player activates it, right? As written, one might think that are chosen at character creation

5) I need some examples of the Janos’ “impossible mobility” ability? Like, spiderclimbing, walking on raindrops, shadowstep would apply?

6) Has the choice made with the “I am what you see” move of the Janus an effect on the label chosen with the “The mask” move?

7) When the player picks the “take drives from the beacon’s playbook” Janos advancement, he chooses the first four drives, and gets to pick another set of four whenever he strikes all of them, just as a Beacon would, right?

8) How much the +1 ongoing generated from the Legacy move “words of the past” lasts? Until the problem is solved?

9) Similarly, how much does the +1 forward from “the legacy matter” move lasts? In which rolls does it applies?

Can I ask how people are reading the principle “Treat your NPC like hammers. Square peg, round hole.”

I’m interpreting it as play my NPCs and play up the one thing they do a lot (hammers hammer, Tony Stark has to be the smartest person in the room) and have them do that even when it’s not the best action for the situation.

So an Innocent, a Bull, a Beacon, 2 Legacies and a Newborn walk into a subway…

Miles or Nova could also be played as a Janus probably.

Ms. Marvel has a bit of a too powerful set of powers for a Beacon but she fits it so well. Actually she is listed as an example Beacon in the book.

Just found out about mask and fell in love with the concept of the game.

Haven’t heard anything for a while. Got charged a few months ago, and still haven’t received anything. Was going to start running a campaign in the next week, but was wondering when the PDF is going to become available.
