Hey!

Hey! I am getting ready to run a Masks game, and i would like it to have a “Boku no hero academy” vibe, let me explain with the pitch:

“In halcyon city, there’s a highschool built to train the next generation of superheroes. This highschool is set on high standards, and not everyone can fit the requirements to go here. Here, they will learn how to work on team, use their powers and be a real hero. In teams of 3, they will be tested all days, in order to get ready for the real world out there.

Every team of heroes in the city is watching for this new generation. They don’t have a name yet. They are the new generation. This is their story.”

So, i was thinking about mixing this highschool thing with their personal stories coming out of their booklets, in order to bolster the identity issue without forgetting the battles and being a hero.

Could this work? How should i prepare for my first session then? Could i make a villain that is a teacher on this school testing them? Help me, please!

Hey again! So, another wave of questions, here it comes..

The Executive & The Honorbound

It seems like their booklet is so focused in their jobs (One about the jobs the board assign to them, and the other about the jobs the group enforcing giri assign to them). In order to make them a group, playing with this booklets, how should i make them join it?

The first idea that pops out is to make the assignments about NPC´s/Organizations that tie with the interests/jobs of the other PC´s

But then there´s that other idea about letting them use their Giri in order to ask for help from others…

Am i loosing something?

First Session

When you go past the worlbuilding phase and take the booklets, you have a bunch of interesting stuff created. But, how do you translate it into the first session? You talk about the mission structure of a crime, or an investigation, but i dont really know if my players would like to play something like that. That´s something ingrained in their jams, at the end of the day. Im guessing, but i think their jams have to be really engaging and proactive in order to make the first session smoothly…? Another idea was to “force” the players to have at least one of the “Goal type” Belief, so i can go along with that?

Thanks in advance!

Hey, what´s up! First, this game is so great! Congrats! The reading was really inspirational.

Im getting ready to play a game and i have two questions. If you could answer them, it would be really nice!

Apparatus

With the move “The Abyss stares back” im afraid the players could take advantage of “searching the vast accumulated knowledge of The Veil in an attempt to understand humanity and what your place may be in it” and “grinding” humanity points. I dont have a problem with the other part (interact with something new[…]). Is that a problem? It is designed that way? How could i treat it?

Jam in Character Creation

So, the Jam is presented as something that can tie the characters to each other in the setting (like the Giri Questions). How should i manage this? should i, like, insist in the relations between their jobs? Should i suggest something more thight, like, idk, a corporation where they all work?

Thanks in advance!

Hey guys!

Hey guys! Im recently starting a game with Worlds in Peril with Shonen-Like heroes, “Schools of battle”, dragoons, light and evil and that stuff..

So, the question is: How would you handle regeneration power? one of my players took it at a simple level in the power profile. How would you handle that power? Cause with the other powers i can figure something, its just about narrative positioning, i get that. For example, flying, or things like that. But.. ¿Regeneration? Should i just, simply make her reduced physical damage? (On game, reducing the severity of condition?) I am really clueless, could you help me, please? Thank you.
