Read, Play, Game

Welcome to a world of shells, castles, and supernatural powers. This week we'll talk through the setting we created when we played Single Unique Power and transition it into an entirely different system: Masks! Join us as we revisit these exciting characters and find out how we plan to make them come to life in our coming Masks multi-episode mini arc.

If you haven't listened to the SUP episodes we'd highly recommend going back and doing that so you're more familiar with the world! We hope you can follow it either way but that is a great starting point if you want to hear more about it.

We talk in depth about our experience playing Single Unique Power and other worldbuilding games as well as about how Michael could've possibly ended up with so many cards. Let's reflect on creative collaboration and how we can make some fascinating stories as long as we're willing to let our ideas fall to the whims of our friends... or our enemies!

**CORRECTION** It looks like in the middle segment we referred to the collection of Tyler's games as the "Possible Worlds RPG" when we meant "Possible Worlds RPG Series." This may be changed in future episodes but we want to make sure we don't confuse anyone. It is a series of several distinct games, not one big one.

As we get ready to play Single Unique Power we discuss our favorite superheroes growing up. Single Unique Power is a cast-building game inspired by the one-person-one-power trope that is most commonly seen across many different pieces of media including manga, anime, and comic books. Be sure to check out Single Unique Power by Tyler Crumrine (https://possible-worlds-games.itch.io/sup) before we discuss it next week so you can read along with us!
