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.
