About me
Hello and welcome to my page! My name is Angel, and Iāve always had a love of storytelling for as long as I can remember. Whether it be in comics, cartoons, anime, or video games, I love getting invested in a characterās journey and experiencing all their highs and lows with them. And now it gives me no end of joy and fulfillment to be able to tell those stories alongside my players! I love crafting characters and worlds with my players, then exploring their arcs and mysteries that push those characters to make meaningful and hard decisions. Most important to me is the fun and memorable moments made during those adventures. There are moments in the games that I have run with the players in my community that live in my memory so vividly, fights and arguments that feel real, and grief over fictional characters that stings as if they really existed. These are the moments I look for and try to create and bring me so much joy when my players and I can look back and discuss those moments even long after those campaigns have been completed. Iām very fortunate to found the community I have, with players that celebrate the games we play and the characters we all make, and I would be honored if you decided to join it as well!

Creating your character
Together during session zero I help every player flesh out their characters and everyone gets to pitch each other ideas for creating team dynamics everyone can get invested in and excited about. You're more than welcome to come up with some ideas before and I'm always working with players between sessions to flesh out their characters, so don't hesitate to reach out if you have ideas!
This game features playbook restrictions to help stay close to the street level nature of setting. Available playbooks include: Beacon Bull Delinquent Janus ProtƩgƩ Transformed Newborn Reformed Scion Joined
What to expect
Preparing for the session
A discord account (free) and a decent microphone are needed for this game, along with access to Google Sheets/Drive (free). Web cams are not necessary. Players will also need to join the Discord server which you will be invited to. Getting comfy with the system is great but not necessary as Masks is an easy system to pick up and learn and I'm happy to teach along the way!
What Angel brings to the table
I'll be providing a Discord server for us to play the game, a character keeper through Google Sheets, and access to all the official Masks setting books and playbooks. You'll also get to join a community of excited players with loves of different fandoms! I also bring a deep appreciation for comic books and superheroes and a passion for getting invested in my players' characters.
