About the adventure

You are the latest generation of superheroes, In this universe of infinite possibilities. Who will you become? Hi there, I'm Ani a.k.a. Anistuffs. I'm looking to start up a Masks: A New Generation campaign, inspired by Guardians of the Galaxy, Infinity War, and Star Wars. Cosmic Champions tells the story of a team of teenage superheroes in a wild and wacky futuristic setting spanning multiple galaxies and countless star systems. Players are encouraged to create non-human characters and tell larger than life stories of heroism, villainy, emotional drama, and boundless imagination.

Recruiting notes

New review

There’s never a dull moment in Ani's campaign. I love the characters he comes up with along with the world he builds. I have a ton of fun playing every week and get immersed in the storyline and the role-play. Works hard to make sure players get to add their flavor. He does a great job of challenging the players while still making the adventure fun and exciting. Listens to us and works with us. You can tell he’s out a lot of forethought and effort into our world and our characters. he's the GM I can confidently say I share the same braincell with.

Anistuff is innovative, and usually saves his cliffhanger right at the end for maximum impact. I have contained my excitement for other players, sometimes. Ani will really load them up, and I want to laugh when it all arrives, in short, he's a great GM.

Ani is an extremely experienced GM. He does his homework and always makes for a good session. He adapts well when, as he says, ‘no plan survives first contact with the players.’

Gameplay details

After a player signs up, I will reach out to them to have a one to one onboarding session. In Session 0, we will discuss the game expectations, safety tools used and content warnings as a whole group. Once we are all on the same page, we will do character creation. I regularly check in with my players to ensure everyone is safe and enjoying the game.
