JeffI just finished the latest issue/session of my <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/MasksANewGeneration" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#MasksANewGeneration</a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/TTRPG" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#TTRPG</a> 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 <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/NADDPOD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#NADDPOD</a> 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.<a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/GMLife" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#GMLife</a>

JeffLooks like I'm running a backup game for our <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/Masks" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Masks</a> group. The players are okay with another <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/MasksANewGeneration" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#MasksANewGeneration</a> game but with a lighter tone. I'm thinking about a mix of <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/QuantumLeap" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#QuantumLeap</a>, <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/Sliders" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Sliders</a>, and the <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/CrossTimeCaper" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#CrossTimeCaper</a> run of <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/Excalibur" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Excalibur</a>, one of the series that really got me into collecting comics. The overall idea will be a team of heroes who are forced to hop through different dimensions, probably heavily influenced by movies, TV shows, or books that I'm into. Everyone seems to want something lighter in tone and I can certainly do that for them!<a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/TTRPG" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#TTRPG</a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/GMLife" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#GMLife</a>

kit 🍁I've gotten my "How to run Masks: a New Generation" pieces up on my site, made them much more legible. Lemme know if you have questions, I'll opine further!<a href="https://transneptune.games/Masks/0.+Masks+Handbook" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://transneptune.games/Masks/0.+Masks+Handbook</a><a href="https://mastodon.transneptune.net/tags/MasksANewGeneration" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#MasksANewGeneration</a> <a href="https://mastodon.transneptune.net/tags/ttrpg" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ttrpg</a>

JeffDo you have a favorite campaign that you played in or ran for players?Favorite campaign I played in was the <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/Dragonlance" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Dragonlance</a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/WarOfTheLance" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#WarOfTheLance</a> 3.5 <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/DnD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#DnD</a> 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 <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/Pathfinder" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Pathfinder</a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/RiseOfTheRunelords" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#RiseOfTheRunelords</a> campaign I'm running is a Christmas gift for my wife from a few years back. I've got <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/ADHD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ADHD</a> 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 <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/MasksANewGeneration" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#MasksANewGeneration</a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/PBTA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#PBTA</a> 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.<a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/TTRPG" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#TTRPG</a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/TTRPGQuestionOfTheDay" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#TTRPGQuestionOfTheDay</a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/GMLife" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#GMLife</a>
