MASKS Playbooks 2.0

For those unfamiliar with the game, MASKS: A New Generation is a PbtA game published by Magpie Games, about young superheroes trying to figure out their identity while also keeping their city safe.

I've finally updated my MASKS playbooks! I think I've got some beautiful Google Sheets for this well-loved game, and I think you should check them out!

Each playbook has the information any player needs to start putting together a wet mess of a teenager.

I've included my standard Safety Tools Sheet, but I've also included a version of the Palette Grid, for tables who prefer this safety tool! Now you have more options than ever for ways to talk about content at your table.

I've also included a Basic Moves breakdown, with links to each of the playbooks on offer, for quick navigation, and as a rules reference.

You can check out my MASKS play-kit here, and you can click on the link below to see my full library of play-kits.

Clicky.

I did this one for fun, but I also do play-kit commissions? Is there a game that you want to be able to play online? Check out my commissions sheet! I'm pretty proud of the work that I do, and I'd love to do it for your game.

[qrgirl-deactivated20220303]

the space race may be the funniest point in history period and i'll stand by that. the US is like "yes whoever gets into space first will prove once and for all that our economic model is superior and that we are, in general, the superior country of superior and smarter people." then the soviets just went and did it and the US freaked out and needed to cover their ass so were like "WE MEAN THE MOON, WE MEAN THE FIRST TO LAND ON THE MOON."

[fanderburker]

[skluug]

yeah its cus walking on the moon was cool as hell and all this other boring shit sucked ass

[togglesbloggle]

When I was a freshman in a red-state college, I had a professor who taught Newtonian physics with a super thick Russian accent.  The student body was unusually conservative for a state college, so there was a sort of general bemusement about learning physics from a Russian, but even back then the Cold War was far enough in the past that not even the red tribe was inclined to stir up trouble about it.

He was aware enough of this to get off on trolling the class, though.  Whenever some force diagram in a homework assignment needed to be weightless, instead of being some generic spacecraft it would be “Mir” specifically.  And he’d always use ‘cosmonaut’ instead of ‘astronaut’, that kind of thing.

One day about halfway through the semester, he’s doing this with in-class examples on the board, and one of the students finally gets up the guts to troll back a little.  So this kid shouts from the back of the auditorium, “Hey professor, what’s the difference between a cosmonaut and an astronaut?”

And this beautiful man spins around on one heel to face the class, whiteboard marker triumphantly over his head, clearly having been waiting for this moment the entire semester: “Cosmonaut go to space first! Ha!”

Hey there heroes!

You may have noticed that no new episode of Waypoint was released today! The reason is another short break to build up some backlog before we start into a new arc!
