A giant robot is tearing up Main Street. Your best friend just tried to kiss you. Your mom thinks you should focus on your diploma. Your mentor says your team is leading you down the wrong path. Oh, and you just ripped your costume. It’s a normal day in Halcyon City…
Masks: A New Generation is a role-playing game where a team of young superheroes battles supervillains, saves lives, and—most importantly—struggles to figure out who they really are. It uses the same engine as Apocalypse World, Monsterhearts, Dungeon World, Urban Shadows, and Epyllion to create stories in the spirit of comics like Young Justice, Young Avengers, and Teen Titans. So, what are you waiting for, young hero? Time to step up. Noble paragons of heroism? Masked avengers? Or just regular teens trying to get by? All set against the backdrop of Halcyon City, the greatest city in the world.
In this book you’ll find:
- Ten archetypes of young superheroes to create your own colorful character
- Rules that drive heroic action, interpersonal drama, and the struggles of living with a dual identity
- Detailed guidance for running the game, building and playing antagonists, and discovering the story as it unfolds
- Tools to create your own version of Masks
