Anyone Can Wear the Mask (Ultimate Edition)

Thank you so much for your kindness and generosity in providing community copies of your game. I’m a disabled pension who can’t afford much so these free gifts really help me out in playing games and keeping my mind active.

I really appreciate your hard work and kindness

Hi! I really liked your game, but would it be possible to have a version for easier printing? I'd like to make a zine! :)

I cannot say enough about how wonderful, evocative, and elegantly-designed this game is. My partner and I are running a game collaboratively, and we keep stopping play to marvel at how exciting and imaginative the game is: it truly guides you to channel your creativity and passion into engaging with and designing a world, characters, and a narrative structure, while leaving an incredible amount of space for your imagination. I'd also add that, if you're new to the hobby (as we are), this is a perfect entry-point: the set-up and gameplay are really accessible and simple, especially when combined with the spreadsheets to track your ideas/characters. Highly recommend!

Waiting for community copies :'(

I had a blast playing this! I love the way each step of the hero's arc is described and I love how each player has clear directions for what they need to do in each part of the game! And the playingcards.io playspace worked so well!

I am curious if there's an FAQ out there somewhere because my group ran into some questions. Like, if an Ace is drawn before the King of the same suit, what do we do with the card? Or what happens during the downfall if the Hero has more renown than there are cards left in the deck?

This doesn’t just tell a strong story–it tells a strong story with meaning and impact. It gets into the kinds of detail that are easy to skip, but that make the setting and the stakes more memorable. A great game, with an important message about adversity and hope.

I grabbed the og game immediately upon release because it took the rules from one of my fav solo/small group rpgs (Mnemonic: Beyond the Rift) & ported it to one of my fave genres (superheroes). 

The addition of a virtual playspace with the playingcards.io table & google doc character keeper make this the most accessible solo rpg i've ever interacted with & i SUPER look forward to the day when I get to play this w/ a couple of friends!!

I'm guilty of being a sucker for a finalized layout with artwork. I read ACWTM back in May and it seemed like a cool game, but reading it now in its beautiful, finished form and I'm truly captivated by it. I'm looking forward to doing a full video analysis in February!

I listened to this on the party of one podcast and it was amazing. Fingers crossed for a part 2!

I listened to the Character Creation Cast series on this game. I'm really excited to give it a try!

Picked this up after I heard it on Character Creation Cast and One Shot today, and I'm looking forward to when I get to play this with my friends. This is a cool game. Keep up the cool creative work.

Just finished two runs of Anyone Can Wear the Mask as a solo player, and loved it. The rules encourage recurring characters, building to dramatic climaxes, all of the things that make extended superhero runs so satisfying. I'd been looking for something that emulated the feel of superhero comics for a long time, and this definitely does it.

This is easily one of the best games for emulating the sheer joy and beauty of superhero media.

If you like the best of superhero comics, you need to pick this up
