I’m doing my part for the mission by sharing a custom End of Session Move for Magpie Games  ‘s Masks RPG, in which you toss those boring old superheroes for a scene and play government bureaucrats talking about superheroes! I definitely have my finger on the pulse of what’s exciting about RPGs.

In all seriousness, as most of the End of Session moves are about you declaring how your characters’ relationships have shifted over the course of the game, this Custom Move, “D.A.T.A. Meeting,” is directed at your character’s relationship with the authorities. However, instead of defining it through a GM move or through your own descriptions, it’s done through the eyes of NPCs, with a bit of randomness thrown in to reflect that the authorities aren’t as monolithic as youthful heroes often perceive them to be….

All custom moves in PBTA games come with a handout, a worksheet and 3 pages of instructions, right? Right. #masksrpg   #halcyonjailbreak

Where were you ?

When you take off your mask and must face the obligations of your secret identity, roll +Mundane. On a 10+:  you pass for the teen you should be. On a 7-9: pick 1:

-You raise suspicion and an eye will be kept on you in a near future

-You must make some efforts now if you don’t want to loose someone or something

-You need to make a fool of yourself, losing Influence on a witness or someone involved

On a 6-: they don’t believe you and jump to the worst conclusion

When you need to reach quickly an accessible spot, roll +Mundane if you try to reach it normally or +Freak if you use your powers to do so. On a hit, you reach it. On a 10+: pick 1. On a 7-9: pick 2

-You draw attention to you on the way

-It’s longer than you thought

-Your final spot is unstable and your opposition gets an opportunity

-You exhausts yourself and mark a condition

When players had to get to the fight scene while they were somewhere else, or pursue an fleeing vilain, unleashing powers didn’t do the work totally well (7-9 options resulting automaticaly in marking condition or “your move create danger… so you must stop it to manage the danger”), so I propose this custom move ^^

Armature kicking(well punching actually) butt.

Brought to Halycon at a early age to receive life saving surgery after a explosion, sadly her arms and one leg had to be amputated. But that never stopped her and eventually she joined the think tank, Rasnoss, due to her inspired designs for suspension bridge cables that actually could redesign it’s structure based on its load.

It was when Technocrat was sent to SuperMax that a flight of fancy and quick illegal hack into the lab report on his implants gave her the idea to use her invention as a advanced mind controlled prosthetic.

Let’s just say it went better than she expected. Now she can walk again, now she can run again, now she can do things not even normal people can do and she is never going back. She is Armature.

JJ Johnson, former manager of East-Pac Wrestling suffered an embarrassing defeat at the hand of Joey Crack (+Joe Zantek ) . Vowing revenge he sought out experimental drugs that gave him enhanced strength and durability.  He now commits crimes of destruction as he seeks out Mr Crack.

  The MANAGER

I’ve made a few changes to The Weilder, one of which was to rename it to The Bearer since that sounds better.

Other changes to this version:

– Changed power choice to “Flight plus two picks” as per suggestion

– Put in a note that the Artifact can be taken from you, removing your ability to use your powers or related moves.

– Nailed down what I wanted for No Instruction Manual.

– Added two new moves: Bonded and Call For Backup, the later of which is based off a suggestion by Adam Goldberg.

As always, work in progress etc. and so on.
