The Liminal - Masks: A New Generation Playbook

You’re caught between two worlds, one of heroics and the other one of villainy. You’re pulled in these directions, figures on either side eager to sway you to their cause. Will you cave to their images or will you define yourself between them, rather than by them?

 The Linimal's themes center around the push and pull between the heroic and villainous elements inherent to the Masks setting, and the place up and coming heroes have in this dichotemy. The Liminal is caught in a tug of war, not only because they have people they care about on both sides, but because they themselves are uncertain where they factor into the whole affair as well. Do you give in to your more villainous elements or push ahead, doing the right thing even if it might alienate those you care about?

The Liminal pushes these boundaries with their Tug of War mechanic, providing their Playbooks moves with additional benefits and uses depending on how much their heroic or villainous elements pull and push them.

The Liminal is inspired by the cartoon show El Tigre and the various morally gray characters one can find in Western Comicbooks. Catwoman, Jolt, Terra from the cartoon Teen Titans and even Prince Zuko from Avatar: The Last Airbender make good touchstones for The Liminal.
