About the adventure
Welcome to the luscious city of Greenport! Greenport is just like any other big city: skyscrapers, apartments, cafes, and giant mechs fighting downtown. Nothing is too odd for those who live in Greenport. The New Heroes is a Masks: A New Generation campaign that can work for both new players and experienced players. Play as heroes as they develop their powers and learn what they can do.

About me
I am a Game Designer known as Planetary Penguin Games online! I like running games and campaigns that subvert players' expectations. I do this through hinting at aspects of the future story with symbolism. However, I also include false symbolism: symbols that would lead to one thing but instead don’t lead to anything. I do typically create my own symbolism systems for each campaign or one-shot, meaning these symbols are something for the players to unravel as the story that the players and I create unfolds! I have been playing and running campaigns since 2019, and started making my own rules systems in 2019. Throughout this time, I have ran over 20 campaigns and over 15 one-shots in Dungeons and Dragons 5e (2014 rules) as well as in campaigns of my own creation. I enjoy when players are creative and have fun, leading me to give more freedom to my players than what some previous players have expected.

Creating your character
Masks: A New Generation is designed in such a way to where certain aspects of character creation require the players to communicate with each other. This will be done during Session 0, which occurs before the first paid session. You may begin working on your character beforehand if you like or you can wait until session 0 to start creating them.
This campaign uses the same template as my other Masks Games; however, the concept is slightly different: the players will be working directly for Scarlet, a government agency that keeps track of superheroes and whatnot. If you've played Masks before, this is Greenport City's version of AEGUS. If you haven’t, they are similar to Marvel's Shield and somewhat like DC’s Argus. Due to this, this does mean a lean towards playbooks like 'The Brain' and 'The Soldier' are recommended to be used, but this doesn't mean that any of the other playbooks can't be used.
