Had another wonderful #Masks session last night. I've been setting up a murder mystery for the players to solve. It took months to get all the pieces into place.
They ran down the clues and are sure they've figured out who the murderer is. Next session will likely be confronting the suspect. Just need to decide in the moment if it needs a climactic battle, a heartfelt confession. or some combination of the two.
I had developed the plot, worked on making the suspect cast likeable and develop them as characters, drop clues, and make the whole thing feel logical.
I really like these #PBTA#PoweredByTheApocalypse games. They really push the mechanics out of the way and let me focus on telling the best narrative I can. This game has really helped me push my storycraft.
I'll be taking a brief sabbatical as a player, as one of the other players is kind enough to give me a little break. I've been running this for at least a year now and I have a second big campaign that's all me.
Please respond by saying what sorts of TTRPG things you're pretty likely to either talk about or respond to if you see them.
This can be a list of games (D&D! Tribe 8! Fate!) or categories (the weirdest of indie stuff! NSR! Anything PBtA!), topics (Worldbuilding! Publishing!), stuff you're making, meta-commentary (The State Of The Industry), and so on.
Then maybe share, and if the replies are building up, check them for new people.
