For our first real session of Masks<\/i>, I decided to start off the game[^1] with a super-awkward morning-news-show-style interview with most of the team and the interviewer, Tasha Starr.<\/p>\n

It was deliciously horrible. When Iconoclast finally blasted in the streetside window and shouted "this interview is over!" the Bull's immediate reaction – over a live mic – was "Thank Christ."<\/p>\n

Then there were supers fisticuffs and the rescuing of civilians and idiot morning show hosts.<\/p>\n

One of my wonderful players (+<\/span>Bill Garrett<\/a><\/span>) put together a series of livetweets commemorating the interview, and I just had to share, because they're great.<\/p>\n

The last one in the series is by me, foreshadowing events coming up in session 2 (and the still-ongoing fight just outside the studio).<\/p>\n
