Halcyon City Heroes [Masks] [ EDIT ]

Halcyon City is a city on the brink. What was once hailed as the "City of Tomorrow, Today" had a social and economic downturn. Crime rates rose, but heroes rose to push it back. For a generation, they succeeded. Lately, villains have been rising to the occastion to make the city thier own, and the Halcyon City Heroes need a hand from the Next Generation to help raise Halcyon City back to it's former glory.

Hello everyone. I'm still relatively new to the site and was looking for a superhero game but couldn't find one. I thought this may be a good opportunity to stretch my legs and practice a new game so I decided to try to run a game of MASKS: The Next Generation. I'm hoping to get a little more experience with the site and with some of the members here, and if it's a good experience for everyone, maybe use this as a springboard for more games.

I'm sure most of you know about it and have seen or heard it but "Masks: A New Generation" is a superhero tabletop roleplaying game full of action, youthful angst, and dazzling bravery. Take on the roles of members of the latest generation of superheroes, young adults trying to figure out who they are and what kind of heroes they want to be. Masks casts its players as a team of teenage to young adult superheroes, in the vein of Teen Titans or Young Justice. The game's Splats (called "Playbooks") suggest your hero's origin and the main issue they struggle with in their superhero career—for instance, you might be an alien from outer space learning to fit into human society, or somebody coming to grips with the way their newly acquired superpowers have changed their body, or the protégé of an established superhero trying to live up to your mentor's expectation

I'm interested in running a game that's a tiny bit more gritty than the usual Four Color Halcyon City setting, but not much. And instead of a city full of heroes, there's just a few others looking after Halcyon, which is why they need you and want to "guide" you.
