MOST IMPORTANT BIT<\/strong>
\n– Problems, difficulties, goals, and victims should all have a FACE (or faces): people that the heroes interact with
\n – (Masks moves are about interacting with people – if a situation doesn’t provide that, character will struggle to engage.)<\/p>\n

\n

PICK A LOCATION<\/strong>
\n– Pick a location one or more of the team are from or have history with (default)
\n– Pick a location that looks juicy and interesting
\n– Pick an additional location (second pass only)<\/p>\n

WHAT HAPPENED HERE<\/strong> (1d6 – count down that many entries, skipping any previously marked\/used)<\/em>
\n– Adult Heroes messed something up there
\n– Locals messed something up there
\n– Hyper-phenomena of some kind messed something up there
\n– AEGIS messed something up there
\n– Mundane Governments messed something up there
\n– Villains messed something up there
\n– Adult Heroes responded poorly to ongoing problem (pick one or roll 1d6)
\n– Locals responded poorly to ongoing problem (pick one or roll 1d6)
\n– AEGIS responded poorly to ongoing problem (pick one or roll 1d6)<\/p>\n

IN THE PRESENT<\/strong> (1d6 – count down that many entries, skipping any previously marked\/used)<\/em>
\n– [MacGuffin] must be delivered to the location
\n– Important People\/Supplies must be accompanied to the location
\n– Locals\/Local Government are creating further difficulties for the location
\n– Hyper-phenomena are creating further difficulties for the location
\n– AEGIS and\/or Outside Government is creating further difficulties for the location
\n– Villains are creating further difficulties for the location
\n– Pick a second element and interweave the two
\n– The Adults (take your pick) have no clue what’s really going on. Good luck.
\n– The Adults have no clue what’s really going on, but think they do (pick a previously-used element above, but it’s wrong)<\/p>\n

IN THE FUTURE… IF NOTHING IS DONE RIGHT AWAY (d6)<\/strong>
\n– Locals\/Local Government will attempt to handle the current difficulties on their own (and do so poorly)
\n– Locals\/Local Government will blame the heroes (and superheroes in general) for current difficulties
\n– AEGIS will take drastic action to preserve the situation and push the heroes towards the difficulties
\n– The difficulties will get worse
\n– The difficulties will experience an unexpected twist
\n– The difficulties will target the heroes directly<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
