A free formed super hero game!

Reviewed in the United States on August 9, 2021

Masks is a super hero game where you play as up coming young super hero. The game is plays like Dungeon World, also a great free form game, all you need to play these games is a pair of six sided dice, at least 3+ people and a understanding that you can do anything. Character creation is simple is really wants you to put thought into your character you live this character you, work and play, fight villains (or heroes). The character sheet is called a "play book" and its all you need as a player. The GM ( game master for non-gamers) has the hardest job, but this book as a pre set world you can play in or play in your own. It also have a list of adventure hooks, plots, villains and heroes, and all the character playbooks are free to download of the companies website. I think I might be leaving something out but its all cover in this book. If you like rpgs and super heroes, but don't want to learn a massive amount of rules than Masks is for you.

Good product, but not suited to my tastes

It was fine for what it was, but it wasn’t for me. The system is too simple for my tastes and I didn’t enjoy it.

What an AMAZING game. If you are in any way interested PLEASE go get their materials. I heard about this game at GenCon and was immediately very intrigued (huge Young Justice fan here) and ended up playing a few games online with the game runner that was telling me about the game. Such a fun time. Very collaborative and the rule set encourages so much fun narrative creation with the group.

I would strongly encourage anyone interested to find the website of the publisher because they have a lot of content and also they are very small and deserve the direct business (I didn’t know this existed when I made my purchase unfortunately)

I know the product description, at least when I'm writing this, is about decks of cards and something called ToLoveRu, but I ordered it just to find out and can confirm it's the RPG rulebook for Masks: A New Generation. It's definitely not a bunch of cards, though I was worried as well.

Now that I know that it's definitely not a manga card game, and actually what I wanted, I highly recommend it! This book costs way more from the creator's site, and shipping is way longer. But here it's like half the price with Prime two day shipping! The book is gorgeous, softcover and full color, with lots of illustrations. And the game is great, I can't wait to get some friends together and actually play it!

The best super hero RPG I have ever played. I have tried many over the years, Champions, V&V, M&M, Hero System, Gurps, FACERIP, various Marvel & DC games, Mutant City Blues they all fell flat for me. Trying to figure the physics of how super powers works is not interesting and doesn't make great stories. MASKS is powered by the Apocalypse Engine and it really sings. Great for newer players, easy to grock. This tells a specific kind of super hero story and does it smashingly well. It doesn't attempt to do everything, games that claim to do everything do nothing well. Bravo Magpie Games

Interesting Take on Superheroes

An interesting take on the genre, where it focuses more on character, story, and feeling than the mechanics and mechanical results of powers.

Such a Great Game!

If you have players that have bad luck or aren't comfortable with the robust mechanics of other systems, Masks is a great game for them.

The game is mostly narrative based, with a few crucial mechanics; and every "failure" brings players closer to leveling up.

The system is easy to use for both players and DMs.

I’ve been playing tabletop role playing games for years, and this is an incredibly fun one. The concept is great and executed very well. It’s easy to learn compared to a lot of other RPGs. I’ve tried it a few times with some friends and can’t wait to use it for a full campaign.
