Masks: A New Generation

[Zaleramancer]

So, Masks: A New Generation is a tabletop game that falls under the game family of Powered by the Apocalypse Games. They're narratively focused and designed to emulate particular genres and create stories within them.

Masks is made to be a teen superhero drama/comedy game. I'm in a few of them online and they run very well, both of the games are interesting and emotionally compelling.

The game has a lot of gm-facing rules and the players pick from a select number of character archetypes called "Playbooks". The playbooks, but not the core rules, are available here if you want to look at them.

In my games I'm playing Ángel Ramirez, "Element Kid", who has the power to mimic substances he touches and phase through the things he's mimicked. He uses the Janus playbook, and his story is about juggling the superhero and normal life.

My other character, Oliver, "Warlock", is a kid wizard who is trying to capture a bunch of ancient spells he accidentally let lose into the world and keeping his irresponsible teammates from destroying the city. He uses the Nova playbook, which is about having incredible and terrifying power.
