It's a pretty cool system, though you have to know what you are going into. It focuses a lot more on your characters self image (As they are a teen/inexperienced hero) than it does on their exact powers.

I wouldn't use it to run all superhero games but for the type it wants to be, it's pretty interesting.

It's more the artstyle then anything. They picked a very tumblr looking style for the cover. It makes me expect a blog about the white devil oppressing gopherkin then it does a superhero game.
>>
>>54797529
It's literally meant to be about being a teen superhero who isn't sure of themself, rather than a regular supers game.

You can do Teen Titans and other such stuff with it. MAYBE some types of Spiderman. MAYBE Worm.

What art style would have worked better then for the premise of teen superheroes?

Something more Bruce Timm. Or like the interior art for M&M. Actually, just look at any M&M book, but especially Hero High.

Then go back to your fucking safe space.

In the real world you're going to come into contact with media written from a perspective you disagree with. This has always been fucking true. And if you can't retain some emotional distance then vote with your fucking wallet and don't support it.

Personally, I think flipping shit over author politics is fucking retarded. There are loads of fascinating historical and contemporary works from authors with views I disagree with, or find downright abhorrent. But instead of having a bitchfit over it I read them and try to use them to understand other perspectives, and thereby better understand my own view of the world.

But just rambling about people disagreeing with you is not a fucking criticism you obnoxious little shit.

Seems like every bit of media is written with a viewpoint hostile to them.

America is not white anymore. Europe is not white anymore. People need to accept this and enjoy the fruits of multiculturalism unless they want to be miserable bitching about their hijab-wearing neighbors until the day they die.
>>
>>54798403
It's a generic Apocalypse World game with the sex moves replaced for a more teen-friendly environment. If you're unfamiliar with AW, it's a 2d6 game where 7-9 is a "yes but" success and 10+ is a "yes and" success, and character abilities are all laid out on one's character sheet (called a playbook).

It's flavorful for the sort of game it is, but you may feel constrained by having to work all your powers into the playbooks, since some are explicitly about certain powersets even if they purport to be more like personality archetypes.

>>54798403

Masks is a Powered by the Apocalypse game, and as someone mentioned above it's more concerned with your teenage heroes identity than their powers.

You have a number of stats, referred to as Labels- Danger, Freak, Saviour, Superior and Mundane. Each of these reflects an aspect of who your character believes themselves to be. Interestingly, since a young persons self image is very flexible, your Labels can vary a lot, increasing and decreasing over the course of a session as your self image is affected by your experiences.

Actually interacting the game happens through Moves, 2d6+stat rolls where 6 or less is a failure, 7-9 is an imperfect success and 10+ is a good success. In addition to a few generic move, each Playbook (basically a class) has its own list to choose from, giving you unique ways of interacting with the system.

Playbooks can also have their own unique mechanics, like the Doomed, whose incredible powers are tied to an inevitable end that is always coming for them. There's also a few other little interesting bits and pieces, but those are the basics. Shape your self image, make your moves, compromise and try to figure out how to do the best you can while explicitly still being a young and inexperienced hero who hasn't yet truly discovered who they want to be.
>>
>>54798462
If you're interested in a lighter system I'd suggest the Savage Worlds Superheroes Companion 2nd edition. It's got a good point-buy power system.
>>
>>54798468
This is a better sell. I just moved in with two friends who are new to RPing and LOVE comics, if the mechanics are reasonably simple, which I imagine they are, maybe I'll try a game out.

Wizards of the Coast changed Kaladesh to be more Indian because of the whinging of a single Indian blogger. They even brought him on to host a panel about the design of the plane, but when the set was released he complained because it wasn't precisely how he wanted it to be.

Fast forward to now, and they brought in another activist blogger to write in black planeswalkers because she complained that "POC should be saving POC in Egypt," neglecting the fact that A) there are already black Planeswalkers, and B) Egyptians aren't even black.
>>
>>54798626

What's fictional about demographic shifts? The latest generation born in the US was only 50% white. Companies want to make money, and that means not excluding 50% or more of their potential customers in their advertising. It's not about any social agenda, it's pure capitalism.

A whole lotta True Scotsman going on here today.

Also, I strongly suspect you are from /v/ /b/ or /pol/ because even if you accept the premise that there's some conspiracy of people trying to ruin everything fun with... I don't know... political correctness or something... TTRPG's aren't the sort of things that can be "ruined" the same way that vidya can. There's no automatic update that changes your book/pdf and refuses to make the game work unless you do it the approved way. TTRPGs have GM's/DM's/ST's who, you know, have qualitative judgement and can run the game how they want... you can even be one if you want to. If your game is "infected" by your SJW boogeyman, then that's more of a problem with your GM than an "industry problem,"

Unfortunately, with the advent of hyper-specialized game sets like Apocalypse World, developers with agendas are coming to realize that they can enforce standards of play by making it nearly impossible to play the game without embracing their outlook.

The more narrative and setting-focused a game is the less discretion the GM has in running it.

No they're not. It's a Powered by the Apocalypse game, but the way the mechanics work are entirely different. AW is about you being a powerful character who directs events, which ties directly into your stats (how cool/hard/hot you are). Masks is about how others perceive you (they literally call stats Labels so retards can understand) and are stuff like Freak, Saviour, and Mundane.

It's an interesting idea (And one that I think was worth doing) but I wouldn't say it's for all games. If you can't see your character still being unsure about their place/still working out who they are to some extent (See: A LOT of Young Justice) it likely won't work out for your game.

But purging is what you do to Nazis, it's the whole purpose of their "life"... if you can call it life, they're more like zombies: human shaped flesh-dolls that it's okay to violently ctharcize because they're not really people.

Hell, play SoTC or ADVENTURE! Half of the point of those game is getting to kill nazis.

Grow up snowflake. Everybody has a public filter; it's called being a part of a society. If you want to go homestead in the woods, nobody is stopping you.

For example, if you, say, deny the holocaust at your D&D table, your table is under no obligation to continue treating you the same after that, or even to have you back for another game. If you think your table will be cool with that, okay, but maybe read the room first, like a grown-up.

It's not wrongthink. It's aggressively pushing political ideology in a way that makes other people uncomfortable.

I don't give a shit if you hate blacks and post every other day on Stormfront about how white you are, but at my table, if I introduce a character that is black, and your response is "I kill that fucking nigger" or screeching about diversity, I'm kicking you out. Not because I find your opinion offensive, but because I play games to relax and have fun with friends, not to have hour-long debates on the nature of race.

I will also actively stop talking to you if you take every chance to tell me about the Judeo-marxist-bolshevist conspiracy to cuck white men into being extinct or something. I deal with enough of that garbage online, I don't need to actively seek out more of it.

Even if your job was 100% secure (which it isn't, welcome to adulthood kid) you're still likely to lose friends and suffer other natural social consequences for expressing extreme views in public. Finding a D&D table to play with is not going to be easy for someone who "reveals their powerlevel" or whatever, because people don't want to recreate and play pretend with unpleasant people who say unpleasant things while they're trying to pretend to be elves and wizards to escape reality.

On top of that, we're talking about someone who didn't just argue in public, they released a document, with their name attached, criticizing their workplace... even before the political landmine that was the views in question, that's shit that can get you fired from any job. Adding politics to the document doesn't suddenly grant you immunity.

What does it matter if it clogs toilets or not? Surely you'd be preserving the gold in every case; if nothing else, you can't release large amounts of gold into the sewage system without risking devaluing it.

You'd just always travel with some rubber gloves (don't know about you, I always piss when I shit) and cleaning supplies, and pull out the gold by hand. Not the most dignified way to do it, but the most practical.

Unless gold is an alchemical reagent, which it often is in fantasy settings, thus giving it inherent value. I know that then it would imply that creating gold with magic shouldn't be possible, but perhaps the "shit gold" curse is one of the only ways of sidestepping the inability to create reagents through magic, because it's primal magic created by the residual magic of a god's bad poop joke, hence why an entire economy is based on such a silly spell/curse.

>>54802546

What does that have to do with anything? All I was doing was making a simple statement of fact.

Publishing an opinion, making it known in a way designed to inform others of it and convince them of its validity, is an action. At the point of doing so, things have moved out of the realm of the theoretical 'thought policing' into tangible, physical actions with tangible, physical consequences.

>>
>>54802651
Out of curiosity.

If I post "I would like to punch you in the face" do you think that is an act of violence?

Yes publishing ideas is an action, but you are not 'acting'. This is why people can happily meme "lol hitler did nothing wrong gas the kikes race war now" and not get arrested for attempted genocide.

Its this principle thats causing so much problem is Europe, as we have to wait until theres is credible physical evidence that some muslim is about to blow himself up/truck of peace before doing anything rather then just rounding up everyone who shares the ideology of those cunts.

You are genuinly a scary individual, and I am looking forwards to when your own rethorics turn against you and you are the one censored for wrongthink
>>
>>54803534

Except that's literally nothing to do with what's being discussed? There is no censorship going on, no viewpoints are being suppressed.

A person in a position of power and responsibility within a company making a statement of their views and opinions is an action which, entirely reasonably, can have consequences if the company does not wish to be associated with that viewpoint.

I'm not trying to make any broader moral or ethical point. I am simply saying that, in this specific circumstance, the way things played out is entirely normal, expected and predictable.

I'll never understand why /tg/ seems to hate anything less crunchy than GURPS. Of course they also hate GURPS for being too crunchy.
>>
>>54804497
It's odd, isn't it?

I'd like to try out more narrative games but they seem so unpopular.
>>
>>54804661

They can honestly be pretty fun. I need a certain amount of crunch to hold my interest, but there are rules light games which make a small number of rules really do work, and even the less interesting ones are still fun for a one shot or short campaign.

I think they're less talked about just because there's less to talk about. Without builds or big mechanical bugs or complex encounters to design, the actual topics for discussion are fairly limited.

>>54804741
That's a good point, and I agree about needing a certain level of crunch.

What ones would you list are enjoyable?
>>
>>54805003
Native Tunisians and Native Egyptian Copts are whiter than Greeks. That's absolutely what they looked like. The invading Arabs were much darker (and the local Arab families still tend to be).
>>
>>54804497
Because /tg/ isn't a unified hivemind. I quite like PbtA games, never would have done a Shadowrun game without the Sixth World hack. I personally lean heavily towards the more narrative/gamist type of game, but again /tg/ isn't a hivemind
>>
>>54805054

Off the top of my head, mechanically interesting rules light games include things like Dogs in the Vineyard, Don't Rest Your Head or some PbtA games which actually make good use of the mechanical structures.

More broadly, I've had great fun with 3;16 Carnage among the Stars and Maid RPG. There are other rules light games that get a lot of hype, but I've got a lot I've not yet been able to try out.

I mean, you aren't wrong. But it seems like these threads in particular end up devolving into complete shitfits. So I feel like they are uniquely hated for some reason.

>>54805054

Seconding Maid. In a Wicked Age is also a great pick up and play RPG. The story actually writes itself as a part of chargen.
>>
>>54805485
>>54805859
I have a hard time separating Maid from weird fetish action I guess, so always avoid it.

I've been really trying to try out some Barbarians of Lemuria but not successful so far.

Dungeon World looked neat, but I hear it is weak compared to Apocalypse and others.
>>
>>54805946

Maid has some weird elements, but it's honestly more of a zany comedy game than anything else, and that's how I've always seen it played.

It's because /tg/ has attracted a lot of /pol/tards in the past year or so who came to /pol/ directly from reddit. These newfags have been shitposting constantly since then, because they weren't taught proper 4chan etiquette via lurking on /b/. Instead, they scour the boards looking for pictures of non-whites so they can post board-unrelated /pol/shit. The cover of this game attracts them like moths to a bright light, hence >>54799266

>>54807103

Because not everyone sees the world in stupid false dichotomies?
>>
>>54807103
Most superhero systems, even the really low-crunch narrative ones, have a hard time simulating the comic-book staple of having regular low/now-power dudes standing toe to toe with alien demigods and/or working together with them in a party. Making the powers fluff, and the teenage angst the crunch, is a funny but surprisingly effective way of making sure everyone can contribute meaningfully to the party whether they're the Green Arrow of the party, or the Superman. It actually works pretty well, and if your table is self-aware enough to get the joke of the teenage angst being the stats, it makes for a lot of laughs at the table.

I think he's making both a true scotsman falacy or maybe an "A implies B, therefore B must imply A" mistake.

As far as I can tell, the logic train is
>Given: Mask's art-style makes an appeal to diversity
>Therefore Mask must be pure SJW garbage, >Therefore anyone who likes Mask must be muh SJW boogeyman.
>Second Given: SJW boogeymen frequently accuse people of being racist rather than posing genuine arguments
>Therefore anyone who likes Mask, because they are clearly muh SJW boogeyman, must be accusing me of racism.

If the retard posting in this thread is actually sincere (although good odds he's a troll), I would really love them to try and outline their entire logic here. Just, lay it out, step by step, not skipping over any details since what appeared in posts has been fragmentary, incoherent and at points nonsensical.

Seeing it all clearly stated in one place would be interesting, at the very least.

The damage D&D 3e wrought. It came about at exactly the wrong moment for many reasons, one of which was that it hit the nascent internet tabletop community like a flying dog turd to the face. Everyone loved to pull apart the mechanics of that game and come up with shit like the Undead Computer and the Peasant Railgun, because the rules were broken in many interesting ways. Then that became the default for all discussion.
