@bored said in Diversity Representation in MU*ing:

(remember when Firan had a rule against male players playing female prostitutes? that for sure wasn't out of respect for RL sex workers, it was a homophobic 'I don't want to accidentally TS a dude!')

I keep hearing the craziest shit about this place and am still surprised Every. Single. Time

I want a Masks game so bad.

A superhero-themed game using the Masks: A New Generation tabletop system. OC characters in a super school or something. I really feel like Masks could work well in a MU.

@runescryer I think it's a concept with a lot of potential. I've only just started reading through the Masks book, but I keep thinking about how well the system would work with Coral Springs, a game I have mostly fond memories of. It really forces you to think about the narrative instead 'how many tons can my dude lift'.

The link doesn't seem to work.

@raeras Sounds like a solid concept to me. I'd play there.

@squirreltalk I'm guessing they'd be NPCed.

If someone wanted to try reworking MASKS to fit a MU with a mix of teenagers and adults, I'd be all over that.

I'm not familiar with the other games, but I'd like a system that was more story-oriented. Not to say that the games mentioned are just attack rolls and skill checks, but that's just my preference. That or just freeform.

@lilli I'm sure there are other PbtA games that would be good for a more general superhero setting (Worlds In Peril was mentioned). I'm not confident that Masks is that system, at all.

Lots of interesting systems here. I'll have to check them out. To mention Masks again, it isn't really a system that can be min/maxed. A different powerset (superstrength vs. martial arts) doesn't really mean anything mechanically, and failure and vulnerability are the only avenues for advancement. Like Paradox alluded to, it's a system concerned primarily with progressing narratives through character growth and relationships/bonds.

That said, I'm not sure how it'll work with a game that has adults and teenagers, which is where I'm seeing the most interest. Its main theme is finding identity in a world where everyone is trying to influence you. Not to say that adults are completely grounded in their identity, but a lot of moves would have to be renamed, at least.

Regardless, it's been pretty validating seeing people excited about the idea. I'd run a game like that myself if I had any coding skills whatsoever.

I'd be down to help out with lore, concepts, story stuff, etc, but I can't say that I've ever ran a game.
