Another wonderful session of #MasksANewGeneration tonight. One character changed playbooks as she leveled up into some major changes and some amazing parallels with the issue/session's villain.

I love how these #PBtA games let players ask questions as their actionsnand hownit forces me to answer tough questions and solidify NPC motivations mid session. It's really added a lot to my #GM skills.

Sadly no gaming again this weekend. We've really had a hard time at getting sessions to happen regularly lately. It's really hard to keep focus and interest in the #MasksANewGeneration game and I really just want to see the #Pathfinder adventure path to its conclusion so I can move on to something different.

I asked my #MasksANewGeneration players if they were okay with me running a holiday-themed session/issue. They said it sounded fun to them.

They came in last night expecting a one shot dealing with Krampus to something like that.

Instead, I ran them through a campaign-related issue that had ties to Home Alone, Die Hard, and A Christmas Carol.

Last night, I ran my #MasksANewGeneration #TTRPG game (yes, I know that comes out to ...game game).

I'm really pushing myself as a GM with this game. The session ("issue" to keep with comic book parlance) had a lot more interpersonal drama moments than I usually include. Between two married characters with major avoidance and communication issues, one character visiting with her mentor about whether her current team is holding her back from being the best she could be, or teammates pulling together when the going gets tough, it was really satisfying.

Plus I'm setting up the main antagonist plot-line in the background. This campaign/trade, I'm trying to emulate a mastermind pulling all kinds of strings, keeping heroes off balance, while the villains steal all kinds of valuable technology. And I have to make it seem plausible.

Yep, I'm definitely testing my limits this time.

So far, in my #MasksANewGeneration #TTRPG:

* One player suggested the henchmen form a union, which they did
* I developed a dark web site for criminals called Connie's List that's a combination of Angie's and Craig's lists for the underworld
* Named a dark web black market site called Black Forest, based loosely ob Amazon

I love this genera.

No #MasksANewGeneration game this week. My wife and I are having dinner with family. Should still be up for #Pathfinder on Sunday though.

Also stoked we got to start our #ADnD2e backup campaign last Sunday. I know the system is cludgy at times and rules are all over the place, but I love the higher degree of freedom and wonder I feel both playing it and flipping through the books. I get excited and inspired by the material.

No #MasksANewGeneration #TTRPG this week. Several players are dealing with life getting a little too rough. I'm looking forward to starting the next trade and spotlighting another member of the team with a story focused more on them.

I've been trying to give each player their time in the sun by developing their story of how they're growing into their own super heroic identity. It's been a ton of fun and a real honor bring the storyteller for this group.
