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.

In this book, you get:

• Ten playbooks for young superheroes,

so you can create your own awesome

characters

• Rules for superheroic action,

interpersonal drama, and changing

identity

• Detailed instructions for running the

game, building villains, and playing to

find out what happens

• Tools for creating your own custom

material for

Masks

makes use of the same rules-

light engine as

Apocalypse World,

Monsterhearts, Dungeon World, Urban

Shadows,

and

Epyllion

to create stories

about young superheroes in the vein of

Young Justice, Young Avengers,

and

Teen

Titans.

So what’re you waiting for, hero?

Time to get to work.

SPECIAL THANKS

Thanks to Andrea Gaulke, Matt Holland, Rich Rogers, Matt Schultz, and Joe

Zantek. You folks stuck with the core playtesting campaign of Masks for a

year, through three different mini campaigns, and countless rule changes. Can’t

thank you all enough for your patience, endurance, and excellence. Bash, Hard

Drive, Chance, Psycho Frog, Fyrefly, Spark, Maelstrom, Feroz, Scath, Cricket,

Ember, Anansi, Apollo, Ares, Bilcer, and their adventures in Continuum City

will live on forever in my heart.

Thanks to Mark Diaz Truman, Marissa Kelly, and Sarah Richardson. Masks

wouldn’t exist without the support, aid, and guidance of my fellow Magpies.

Love you all. Ka-kaw.

Thanks to the countless playtesters, whether you played at conventions or at

your home table. The game wouldn’t be the same without all your feedback.

Check out

for a list of Halcyon

City Champions who went above and beyond in their playtesting!

Thanks to all the Kickstarter backers, who threw their support behind Masks,

talked about it, played it, and fulfilled all our social stretch goals like bosses!

Thanks to Mom, Dad, and Megan for encouraging me and facilitating my

consumption of all things superheroic—this here is proof of the value of my

education. :)

And thanks especially to Grace Jacobson for listening patiently and prodding

me in the right direction when I would blather on hopelessly about young

superheroes for far too long. You were always there for me when I needed a bit

of grounding. Also, thanks for letting me hang a printed version of this book’s

cover in our home.

Further special thanks to Adam Robichaud, Andrew Madeiros, Ariana Ramos,

Avery Alder, Ben Kaser, Brennan Taylor, Brie Sheldon, Daniel Scribner, D.

Vincent Baker, Howard Katz, James Stuart, Jason Cox, Jenn Martin, John

Sheldon, John Stavropolous, Kat Miller, Keith Stetson, Matt Aaron, Michael

Miller, Mick Bradley, Rich Flynn, Robyn Slough, Seth Harris, Todd Nicholas,

and countless others.
