#masksanewgeneration — Public Fediverse posts

Last Friday, I completed the latest campaign/trade for my #MasksANewGeneration #TTRPG. I reused old villains as my continuity's Thunderbolts/Su*cide Squad as "Lightning Squad". One player was caught flatfooted by some of my choices, especially as one of the villains she chummed up with was the one who paralyzed her sister in game.

I'm going to get to take a bit of a break, but I left it with a cliffhanger where I can pick back up with my universe's Manhunter robots about to invade earth.

Gotta love superhero TTRPGs!

One more attempt to actually finish this #MasksANewGeneration campaign tonight.

We keep getting obstacles thrown at us to keep us from meeting, but I'm hoping that tonight, we can put the story to bed so I can plan for the next campaign and get a little break as a player.

#TTRPG #GMLife

Tonight's #MasksANewGeneration game went well. The team has starting to put the pieces together and finally started to realize that Lighting Squad just happens to be this world's version of The Thunderbolts/Suicide Squad. Next session should wrap up this trade nicely.

One of my players was mad that she didn't pick up on the hints earlier after we all went to see Thunderbolts in the theater together. Of course I'm basing his group after the "reformed" villains with new identities version from the comics, not the movie.

It's nice how easy it is to be able to reuse villains when your heroes don't kill.

#GMLife

Going to give this whole #TTRPG weekend sessions another go. I should have #MasksANewGeneration tonight and #Pathfinder #RiseOfTheRunelords on Sunday, as long as things don't go sideways on us again.

Sample 10 PbtA Roleplaying Games with the Magpie Apocalypse MEGA Bundle

https://web.brid.gy/r/https://thegaminggang.com/save-money-on-games/sample-10-pbta-roleplaying-games-with-the-magpie-apocalypse-mega-bundle

Sadly no gaming again this weekend. We've really had a hard time at getting sessions to happen regularly lately. It's really hard to keep focus and interest in the #MasksANewGeneration game and I really just want to see the #Pathfinder adventure path to its conclusion so I can move on to something different.

#TTRPG #GMLife

I asked my #MasksANewGeneration players if they were okay with me running a holiday-themed session/issue. They said it sounded fun to them.

They came in last night expecting a one shot dealing with Krampus to something like that.

Instead, I ran them through a campaign-related issue that had ties to Home Alone, Die Hard, and A Christmas Carol.

#TTRPG #GMLife

Last night, I ran my #MasksANewGeneration #TTRPG game (yes, I know that comes out to ...game game).

I'm really pushing myself as a GM with this game. The session ("issue" to keep with comic book parlance) had a lot more interpersonal drama moments than I usually include. Between two married characters with major avoidance and communication issues, one character visiting with her mentor about whether her current team is holding her back from being the best she could be, or teammates pulling together when the going gets tough, it was really satisfying.

Plus I'm setting up the main antagonist plot-line in the background. This campaign/trade, I'm trying to emulate a mastermind pulling all kinds of strings, keeping heroes off balance, while the villains steal all kinds of valuable technology. And I have to make it seem plausible.

Yep, I'm definitely testing my limits this time.

#GMLife

So far, in my #MasksANewGeneration #TTRPG:

* One player suggested the henchmen form a union, which they did
* I developed a dark web site for criminals called Connie's List that's a combination of Angie's and Craig's lists for the underworld
* Named a dark web black market site called Black Forest, based loosely ob Amazon

I love this genera.

No #MasksANewGeneration game this week. My wife and I are having dinner with family. Should still be up for #Pathfinder on Sunday though.

Also stoked we got to start our #ADnD2e backup campaign last Sunday. I know the system is cludgy at times and rules are all over the place, but I love the higher degree of freedom and wonder I feel both playing it and flipping through the books. I get excited and inspired by the material.

#TTRPG #GMLife

I just finished the latest issue/session of my #MasksANewGeneration #TTRPG for my players. This is the penultimate session of the trade/campaign. I love getting to use comic book terminology to describe the game.

The NPC sister of the alien catgirl player has been moving in the background, trying to take out the heroes and their parents. It's a whole thing where the player's character ran from her arranged marriage to another dimension. The team decided the best way to flush out the sister was to stage an award ceremony, trying to draw her out into an open conflict.

Instead, the players had to deal with a building that was struck by a meteorite flung by a mass driver and another, larger one flung at the parent's spaceship. They had to split the team and defeat both threats at the same time.

It was a blast to run. I've been listening to a lot of #NADDPOD and pulled some tricks I learned listening to Brian "Murph" Murphy run his games. I think it really elevated the encounters.

I love the emotional high after a well run session. My players are absolutely awesome.

I really wish I had more #TTRPG things to post here. At this point, I've got a primary and backup #MasksANewGeneration (#Masks) games, a primary #Pathfinder game, and we're working on getting a time to make characters for a backup #ADnD2e game at some point, but we've been reliably unreliable in meeting.

I've been spending a lot of time reading up on news and politics, because as an American, I'm in the thick of it all and I'm less likely to panic if I know what's going on. However, I don't want to turn my account into a highly politicized one.

I do miss RPG shop talk though. I keep my eyes on the hashtags. I just haven't had any burning questions I wanted to ask folks.

Do you have a favorite campaign that you played in or ran for players?

Favorite campaign I played in was the #Dragonlance #WarOfTheLance 3.5 #DnD campaign we played a few years back. We had some amazing characters fighting against a tide of evil.

For campaigns I've run, I can't decide between the two I'm currently working on.

The #Pathfinder #RiseOfTheRunelords campaign I'm running is a Christmas gift for my wife from a few years back. I've got #ADHD and I'm super proud of myself for making it half way through a 400+ campaign book. And I feel like everyone is having a good time.

The #MasksANewGeneration #PBTA game I'm running is all me. I've got a crew of absolutely awesome players and I feel fortunate that my sessions have risen to their levels. The stories have had some twists that the players didn't see coming and it's all mine. This isn't a published campaign but I've been running for... maybe a year or so now, with some breaks here and there. I'm on hiatus at the moment but I've been plotting the next trade/campaign.

#TTRPG #TTRPGQuestionOfTheDay #GMLife

#TTRPG players and GMs, what are you currently playing? What do you wish you were playing?

Currently running

- #Pathfinder 1e. Not a fan of the crunch, but it's for my wife
- Taking a short break from #MasksANewGeneration, a #PoweredByTheApocalypse #PBTA supers game but ready to dive back in to the GM seat at a moments notice
- #Trinity #Adventures game. Character creation was a headache compared to other #WOD #WorldOfDarkness games but the characters are fun
- Our #MonsterHearts2 game should be starting up again at some point

Wish I was playing
- #13thAge for the amount of say players get in world building
- #GURPS for the complete characters you get after creation, which CAN be a real chore
- #D6StarWars as it was one of the first games I played and I really like the system
- #CastlesAndCrusades #CNC for the old school style with modern sensibilities
- #VampireTheMasquerade or #VampireTheRequiem. I've got a #VTR campaign I want to run at some point, but I don't know if/when I'll get to it. A long term obsession I haven't had the chance to play in 15-20 some years at this point
- #StarTrek #LastUnicornGames. I like the way they handled life/career paths

Yesterday, we finally started our #Masks game after the #sessionZero last month. We've got a Nova, a Bull, an Outsider and my Protege. I highly suspect our team works well right until it doesn't - our highest Mundane stat is +0, with it being my Mentor's Denied label.

I really liked how the MC framed the situations as comic panels. Plus, there was the obligatory barrage of jokes and puns.

I'm really looking forward to the next game already!

Nachdem die für gestern organisierte Runde #MasksANewGeneration ausgefallen ist, wurde es dann spontan eine Runde #EdgeOftheEmpire mit meinen liebsten #StarWars Nerds. Merke: Ein "leichter Job", um für die Rebellion Waffen an aufständische Bergleute zu schmuggeln, wird durch ein paar Piraten mit einer geklauten Raiderkorvette nicht leichter.

Und vielleicht ergibt sich daraus jetzt eine Kampagne, mal gucken.

#pnpde #pnpdeBrief #CiferRPGMusings

This week's #MasksANewGeneration #Masks game is delayed on a count of player illness. Just hope they'll be good to go on Sunday for #Pathfinder.

Also making headway on my #VampireTheRequiem planning. I wish I was playing instead of running, but c'est la vie.
