It’s interesting as the past few days gave me a chance to delve deeper in AWE games. My gaming group (we play DW nowadays, coming from Savage Worlds) asked me to GM a Uncharted Worlds mini campaign (we’ll start one in two weeks). A few friends asked me to GM a Urban Shadows game (online, and I still need to see how I’ll do that) and I’m trying to schedule that to wednesdays…

…and a gaming store asked me to GM a one-shot Masks game this saturday.

Hands full, I know, but it’s like going back to the ’90s and GMing every time I could.

Well, I’ve just translated Masks’ player movements into Portuguese and I’m now translating the playbooks. Does anyone know if the playbook iconic character images are available somewhere in order to use them in my translation?

Wondering if anyone has some prebuilt gamescreens for Hammerdog (landscape preferred) or if there are any available.

One last thing for now (I promise).

One last thing for now (I promise). After converting villains from Sentinels of the Multiverse and Mutants and Masterminds I decided to create my own villains. So here they are for your use if you so desire. Each one has role-playing tips. There are not pictures this time (obviously), but I hope you enjoy anyway.

Well I’m on a bit of a roll, so I decided to finish an old project of mine.

Well I’m on a bit of a roll, so I decided to finish an old project of mine. I took the villains of the Mutants and Masterminds supplements Hero High and Hero high Villains and converted them to Masks. An lo and behold, it was a boon I held off because I found out a revised edition of Hero High was released for 3rd edition. So also included in here are the students of the Elysian Academy. I hope you enjoy. (My apologies for some of the black backgrounds on some of the pictures, some copied well, some didn’t.)

Yet another villain for a potential MasksXOverwatch campaign.

El Blanco: Bronze generation, “to amass more power and influence,” Angry, Afraid and Guilty

“Ven y baila con la Muerte!” (Come and dance with Death!)

Though Marco Capello is not the only leader Los Muertos have, he is definitely one of the most feared, known for his ruthlessness, skill in battle, and flair for the dramatic. Growing up in a poor neighborhood in Dorado, he was an outcast and bullied for his albinism, so he sympathized with Los Muertos’ message of feeling left behind by society. Instead of getting tattoos, which might damage his skin, he took to wearing a skull mask, and without it he can pass for an innocent street musician. Turning his old nickname of “El Blanco” from an insult into a title, he rose quickly through the ranks, going from an errand-boy to a hitman to eventually becoming the boss of his local branch, and his ambitions show no sign of slowing down.

*Pretend to be an innocent street musician

*Send coded messages through his songs

*Smuggle powerful weapons in his guitar case

*Call on Los Muertos thugs for backup

I’ve updated my Sentinels of the Multiverse Villains for Masks.

I’ve updated my Sentinels of the Multiverse Villains for Masks. The Vengeful Five (Baron Blade, Ermine, Friction, Fright Train, and Proletariat) as well as Chokepoint (she was included in the preview pack). Additionally I’ve changed some of the moves of the older villains to make them fit the game better. I hope you enjoy.

Another alternate-skin NPC for my potential MasksXOverwatch campaign.

Another alternate-skin NPC for my potential MasksXOverwatch campaign. “Future generation” means this character hasn’t risen as a villain yet, but their origin story has already been set in motion unless somebody does something to stop it.

Ka: Future generation, “to prove its superiority over human heroes,” Angry, Afraid, Hopeless and Insecure

“I… WILL… RISE!”

After being defeated and contained by the Helix Security team led by Pharah, the god-program Anubis decided that the omnics it had been possessing weren’t enough of a force to win its freedom. From the data it gathered on the Raptora armor, it designed the perfect robotic warrior to serve as the leader of its army, and if need be, as a backup body for Anubis’s consciousness. Luckily, Anubis would need an omnium’s factories to actually build Ka, and it can’t take control of an omnium while it’s quarantined in the temple, so the world is safe… for now.

*Soar swiftly through the air

*Lead possessed omnics in battle

*Release a storm of semi-guided missiles

*Challenge a hero to a one-on-one duel

*Directly channel Anubis’s power

In creating original NPCs for my MasksXOverwatch campaign, I’m turning to the playable heroes’ alternate skins for inspiration. Eventually I’ll compile a document with all of them, but writing backstories takes time so for now I’ll just post them individually to see what y’all think.

Masquerade: Bronze generation, “to be whoever Talon needs him to be,” Afraid and Insecure

“Who do I want to be today…?”

Virgil Antonio was a small-time con man operating in the streets of Florence, until he scammed a member of the mafia, who set fire to his house in retaliation. He lost his left arm, and his face was severely burned (he has no hair anywhere, his nose and ears are just holes, and is face in general is sunken and vaguely skull-like). He wandered, broken and disfigured, until Talon found him and offered him a new lease on life. They fitted him with a prosthetic arm designed to look just like skin, and while they couldn’t restore his face, they used incredibly lifelike masks to give him a new one… or two… or twenty. Now, he serves Talon as a spy, infiltrator and assassin under the codename Masquerade.

*Change identities as easily as clothes

*Seamlessly blend in with any situation

*Fire a gun hidden in his cybernetic arm

As you may recall, I’ve been thinking about running a Masks campaign set in the Overwatch universe for some of my friends. To that end, I’ve been creating characters from the game and supporting media as Masks enemies. Here’s the playable characters, what do y’all think?:
