Masks - Loser Buys Pizza

A trio of teen heroes take a break after a long night of patrolling. While chatting with another group, they all spot some action going down at a warehouse across the street. Before springing to action, the groups agree, depending on how things shake out in dealing with the bad guys -

Loser buys pizza.

Masks is a Powered by the Apocalypse game by Brendan Conway, of a new generation of super heroes coming into their own, dealing with the pressures of being a teen while saving the day in Halcyon City. The base game and official expansions are available in soft and hardcover books + PDF at Magpie Games' website, while just the PDFs are available at DriveThruRPG.

This episode incorporates content from the core book, the Halcyon City Herald Collection, and the Enduring playbook by Jon of Listen to These Nerds podcast, available in the Fan Favorite Zine, and as an updated standalone PDF, both on itch. The Enduring has also been a part of the TTRPGs for Trans Rights bundles, and the upcoming (as of posting) TTRPGs for Trans Rights Ohio itch.io bundles, so you may already have a copy.

Reign - Nagalisitu - Agents of ALIS - Part 28

This campaign will touch on many themes, including genocide, slavery, racism, specism, harm to children, and mental health issues, among others. Listener discretion is advised.

Most of the Agents are now in the hands of the Xascos. They are in trouble, but are also in the best position to negotiate with them. Can they get the Xascos to come back in the fold? What will they have to give up if they can?

Agents of ALIS is based on the campaign framework Nagalisitu by Caleb Stokes, for Reign second edition by Greg Stolze. Reign 2E has been released in pdf and is available at Atomic Overmind, while the book with the information on Nagalisitu has not been released as of posting. We are using a Kickstarter backer version of those rules.

Genepals are references from Kyle Carty's Starstreamers from BPB Games.

Adam - GM

Dan - Roscoe Holst - The human pilot of the Hypatia, and descendant of the... legendary? line of Holst, a family that always seems to be near when galactic history changes.

Ethan - Silent Reading - A Murnau spy, perhaps the person most suited to the work of the Library. Whereas his twin brother Cheerful Humming is much more of an open book, Silent Reading keeps to himself, trusting few...

Greg - Kyrt Howling-Echo - A gengineered half-human half-Murnau, he is the former Genepal League champion. Kyrt has "retired" into aiding the Library of Alexandria as a patron. Never without his beloved Genepal Pep Pup, or his second best friend Sol-Edge.

Jared - Captain Kai Uhila - The human captain of the Hypatia. Kai is a bard as is the nature of those who helm the ships that travel the galaxy. A bit of a drunk, a bit of a lech, a bit of a loose cannon, but someone with a strong sense of justice.

Laura - Tema Miles - A humanish logistics & security expert on the Hypatia. She wears her heart on her sleeve, and will rip yours out of your chest if you cross her, the ship, or her young ward Libby.
