The Masks We Wear

A rules-lite system inspired by the Persona series, The Masks We Wear takes heaviest influence from popular entries Persona 3, Persona 4, and Persona 5, with gameplay elements such as custom Persona creation, a Bond system reminiscent of Social Links and Confidants, random dungeon generation, and turn-based battles.

Like modern Persona games, The Masks We Wear alternates between Social Life segments and Dungeon Crawling escapades. The bonds you form during your Social Life become the power you use during your dungeon-crawling, and so your performance in one segment ties inextricably to your success in the other.

The Masks We Wear's on the fly creation of conflict (both narratively and mechanically) allows the game to easily be run for One-Shots and smaller Campaigns of 2-4 sessions, while the level up system allows for longer Campaigns for those seeking to unravel a mystery over the course of several arcs.
