About the adventure
It's your first show in front of a real, live, pumped-up audience! The room out there is crammed with screaming fans and holy crap this is frightening. They're not your fans, they're here for the main event. They're not your fans *yet*. You peek out from behind the curtain to get a look at the audience before you go on … and, uh, what is that *creature* sitting in the front row? And why does it have its arm looped around your sister? --- 🎆 Your first session with me is free! (Refunded after scheduling) 🎇 I'd love to chat with you! If you have any questions about anything from scheduling to character concepts, message me! 🎆 I'm a collaborative GM. There's plenty of stuff in my plans for this game that's easy to change to align with where YOU want to go. 🎇 No experience necessary. --- You're a young pop idol, just making her way onto the big stage. You've also got talents as a demon hunter in the tradition of the Sunlight Sisters and Huntr/x, and that's blowing your mind. The stage outfits your manager wants you to wear don't fit right. This boy smiled at you in the coffee shop yesterday and you don't have the *first clue* what to do about it. You've got a lot to figure out, and maybe also a city to save. You are not required to play a female character, or an Asian one; all genders, races and orientations are welcome. You *are* young and just finding your way in the world. The rules are in the Apocalypse World (PbtA) template, which are especially easy for new players to pick up. Don't worry if you've never played it before, or even if you've never played *any* role-playing game before. Most of what you need to know will be right on your character sheet, and the rest I can explain in a few minutes.

About me
I started GMing in the 80s when I got hold of the D&D red box Basic Set. I've played and run dozens of different systems since then, including AD&D, GURPS, Call of Cthulhu, Traveller, Shadowrun, Sorcerer, Apocalypse World, Dungeon World, Blades in the Dark, Uncharted Worlds, Masks, and Daggerheart. I'm a big of light and flexible PbtA-style rules, but am by no means a narrativist purist. Swashbuckling adventure is fun! 🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️LBGTQ+-friendly, 🎉new-player-supportive.

Creating your character
Character playbooks are customized from published Masks. I will share them as soon as you join the game Discord server. We'll do as much as possible of character creation and session zero on the Discord before actually playing.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
🎇 A free Discord account. I'll send you an invite to a private server for the game. 🎆 A free Owlbear rodeo account, for VTT 🎇 A free Google account to use with Google Drive 🎆 Ideally, a webcam for video. It's really helpful to me as the GM to see your faces for reactions, to make sure everyone has equal chance to be involved.
What Colin brings to the table
**Reasons to play:** You want a game centered around the character arcs of your PCs. You want to actively drive the story in your own direction, not just go along with a plot written by the GM. You want lots of interaction with NPCs. You like swashbuckling, cinematic, fast-moving anime conflict. You're on board with playing a young pop idol who fights demons. **Reasons not to:** This game will not have detailed tactical combat. It will not have elaborate battlemats, sounds or video-game effects. I'd love to say I'll do tons of different NPC voices, but I'll admit I'm lucky to do the same accent twice.
Homebrew rules
Many parts of Masks will be reskinned or home-brewed to better reflect the anime world of Popstar Demon Hunters. The changes will be laid out on your character playbooks or in a house rules document I'll share as soon as you sign up.

How Colin creates a safe table
I will send a link ahead of time to a Lines and Veils document. I encourage players to mute the game or exit from video at any time if they feel they need space. And I am happy to have a private conversation ahead of time or at the end of session about any issues you may be concerned about.
