I made a little mini-thing you can print out, cut out, and add onto your GM reference sheet showing which playbooks have something to do when Time Passes. I suggest covering up something you don’t need anymore like Character Creation or just putting it on your notebook at the top so you don’t forget.

I also incorporate the playbooks from the Halcyon City Herald.

TIME HAS COME TODAY

Dumb question, but does anyone know the font used in the Masks logo?

Dumb question, but does anyone know the font used in the Masks logo? It has a very distinctive S and I’ve had a real pain trying to match it.

Earlier this week I looked all over for a form fillable pdf of the playbooks and couldn’t find one.

So I made my own playbook for Masks for fun. Its still a work in progress but I figured I would share it for anyone interested in playing it or giving me feedback.

The idea is for a character who is struggling with guilt. Inspiration coming from characters like Edward Elric or Prince Zuko. (Yes I know neither are superheroes but they both are young people with powers so sue me.)

It plays like a less epic doomed, with a doom track that fills up quicker and more often but doesn’t kill the character.

Here’s a little thing I’ve been working on over the past few months. It’s my first attempt at making/hacking a TTRPG, so on top of not being done, I’m sure it’s also somewhere between horribly bad and halfway decent. That said, it’s at the point now where I’d need some play experience to tell what works, what doesn’t, and what exactly needs to be added, and unfortunately I’m not at a point right now where I can get it to a table personally.

With all that being what it is, I’m sharing it here. Feel free to take a look at it or not, as you’d like. You can leave advice or feedback if you want, but I’m not likely to add or change much until I can tell in a non-hypothetical way how the game would work (or not work) in its current iteration.

So I Recently Whipped up this custom Training move After realizing My Nova has kept it in his head that he has been training with the Silver Savior(A.K.A. His Apartment Building’s Janitor) But he hasn’t received Any In-Game Benefits for it, I decided to make it more general if I need to use it for someone else.

When you train with an older Hero as time Passes, Roll +The Label they wish to impose on you, Hold one Train, And they either Take Influence over you or attempt to Shift Your Labels. On A miss, it doesn’t go as well as you would hope, Mark a condition, Your Choice, and say what went wrong. On a 7-9 Choose one boon, on a 10+ Choose 2.

-They don’t happen to give you any lectures this time, They don’t Take Influence over you or attempt to Shift Your Labels

-The session is especially helpful, Hold an extra Train

-You are feeling especially good about yourself and you feel you have grown into your image of yourself more, Shift one label up and one down, your choice

You May spend Train at any Time To do any of the following:

-Remember Your Practice of the very thing you are now doing and use it to gain an edge, When Unleashing your powers or Directly engaging a threat Gain a +1 after rolling as Though you spent a Team from the pool on your own move.

-Have words of encouragement from your Trainer come Back to you when you need them most, Clear a Condition Or Subtract 2 from your roll to Take a Powerful blow as though you spent 2 team from the pool

-Recognize and exploit a former mistake of yours someone else just made, Take +1 Forward against them for the rest of the scene, Take influence over them, Or Provoke Them to action as though you rolled a flat Seven(Still factor in labels or conditions afterward.)

-You Remember something useful your Trainer said about the person you are facing right now(Or people like them if they don’t know of this person), Chose one extra option(Even on a miss) When Assessing a situation they are causing Or Piercing their Mask.

-After succeeding at something: Remember How much you struggled during training to do what you just did, Mark Potential or add a team to the Pool

-Remember and accept Something your Trainer said about who you are or how the world works, Reject the Influence Of anyone other than them or Comfort/Support, anyone, as though you rolled a 7-9. But next time your trainer Tells you who you are or how the world works take a -2 against if you attempt to reject their influence, after all, their advice WAS helpful last time.

NOTE: Train Persists between sessions and scenes

Any Feedback is very much appreciated to refine/improve this move as it is still a rough draft.

Sharing for the sake of sharing.

Sharing for the sake of sharing.

Sharing for the sake of sharing. I have a supervillain(ish) group I’m going to have my PCs face soon (first I send them to space!), and I’m very proud and amused of the idea.

The group is called the Disasterinas, or the Mallerinas, or the Black Swans. I plan on having them argue on-screen over what the name is. They are school-age girls who gained elemental superpowers through an alien drug, and have decided to use their powers as villains for a while, until they get caught. Then they plan to use the exposure and notoriety for fame and fortune in the entertainment industry. Sort of the Halcyon City version of putting out a sex tape to get famous. Be a villain, get caught, sell the rehabilitation/redemption process as a reality show, then release an album.

I haven’t decided whether to give them one set of moves or give them individual moves. Deep down, I don’t consider them an important part of the story for the PCs, just a view into the world of modern era heroes and villains while they fret over the very deep hole they’ve dug themselves in with a clandestine government agency.

Has anyone here heard of/played a game of Capers! The young SUPERVILLIAN Masks hack?

In case you haven’t, it can be found below. What did/do you think? Is there crossover potential here? (heroes falling to become a villians or villians going the reformed route to something else) Would it be possible to have a game where characters were heroes and others villians? (perhaps forced to work with them via some sort of suicide squad set-up) Or would it be a better use to have maybe a one-shot session where you play the opposition and there by humanizing your enemies a little more?
