This is an imaginary story (which may never happen, but which then again may),
About someone with great power, who chose to use that power only for the good of all.

Anyone Can Wear The Mask is a tabletop RPG about a superhero, a supervillain, and the city they share. Throughout play, you’ll record the adventures of a great hero as they defend their city, stand up to those in power, and eventually confront a terrible nemesis. You’ll draw maps, roll dice, pull cards from a deck, and make a living record of the city and its people.

Unmasked Edition

To raise money to pay for interior spot art, we're releasing the game in its initial format, with a cover and interior layout (called the Unmasked Edition) immediately. Once we've sold enough copies to pay for interior art, we'll update the itchio page with the full game at a price of $20, and anyone who purchased the Unmasked Edition will get it for free. Think of it as an early access discount!

Stretch Goals

We have a lot of exciting plans in mind to help make Anyone Can Wear the Mask even better:

  • $1,000: We will write & release a set of pre-built scenarios (with information on the Hero's powerset, notable locations and neighborhoods in the City, and the types of threats a Villain might throw into the mix) to help players dive into the game, and design and release a template for for designers who want to contribute content of their own.
  • $2,000: We will record an audiobook version of the game, as voiced by professional voice actor and All My Fantasy Children guest host Aaron Catano-Saez.
  • $3,500: We will commission five new pre-built example scenarios from guest writers, to give new players even more ways to dive into the game, and explore how to use Anyone Can Wear the Mask in cool new ways.
