Masks: A New Generation (ttrpg)



Title:
Masks: A New Generation

Media: roleplaying game (ttrpg)

Approx length: the core rulebook is 240 pages, but the intro to Halcyon City and playbooks are probably enough to get you started and are only a handful of pages

Where to find it:
Masks is a Magpie Games rpg and available at their webshop. There's also some freebies you can download from their website. I also found the rulebooks a bit cheaper at DriveThruRPG (If you have Problems downloading, you can also just DM me).

What is it, in summary?:
A giant robot is smashing down Main Street.
Your best friend tried to kiss you.
Your mom thinks your grades need work.
Your mentor thinks your team is bringing you down.
Oh, and your costume is ripped.
Just another day in Halcyon City...

Masks: A New Generation is a superhero roleplaying game in which a team of young heroes fights villains, saves lives, and tries to figure out who they are — noble paragons? Dark avengers? Or regular kids? All against the backdrop of Halcyon City, the greatest City in the world.

What do you love about it?:
Teenage angst! Superhero shenanigans! And all of it rolled into one extremely fun game! Imagine Young Justice meets Young Avengers meets Scooby Doo meets just About any teen movie you can think of!

What sort of things are you likely to request for it?:
I'm a sucker for emotional Conflict, which can be both shippy or gen. I also love the worldbuilding in this one.

Are there sections of canon (rather than the whole canon) that can be consumed by themselves to fulfil your requests, or that showcase particular characters and relationships?:
The playbooks, of course. Plus a couple pages about Halcyon City.

Content warnings (ie, rape, incest, racism, gore/violence):
It's a teenage superhero game, so not really (except what the GM makes of it)
